Corned beef or salt beef in the Commonwealth of Nations is salt-cured brisket of
beef.The term comes from the treatment of the meat with large-grained rock
salt also called corns of salt. Sometimes sugar and spices are
added to corned beef recipes. Corned beef is featured as an ingredient in many
cuisines.
Most
recipes include nitrates which convert the natural myoglobin in beef to nitro somyoglobin
giving it a pink color. Nitrates and nitrites reduce the risk of dangerous
botulism during curing by inhibiting the growth of Clostridium botulinum
bacteria sporesbut have been linked to increased cancer risk in mice.Beef
cured without nitrates or nitrites has a gray color and is sometimes called
New England corned beef”

including World War I and World War II during which fresh meat was rationed.

dishes and as a common part in modern field rations of various armed forces
around the world.
