Pastrami was first served in New York City in the late 1800s by Lithuanian Immigrant Sussman Volk, who was given the recipe by his Romanian friend in repayment of a favor. As the story goes, pastrami became so popular that Volk opened a deli at 88 Delancey Street where he served the meat on rye bread.
The name pastrami comes from Romanian pastramă, which is related to the Turkish pastırma. It is probably derived from the Turkish verb bastırmak meaning "to press". However, it could also be from the Romanian a păstra meaning "to keep, preserve". Both of these etymologies are plausible, but mutually exclusive.
Pastrami doesn't contain a healthy amount of minerals and vitamins; it includes a lot of salt (sodium). You can get more than 248 mg of sodium in each ounce. However, using one ounce of corned beef means consuming 4g of fats and 56 calories.
