Salted Pork Belly

Salted Pork Belly is a salt-cured cut of pork fat and meat commonly used in traditional preserved foods and rich-flavoured dishes. It is very high in salt (12g per 100g) and typically used in small amounts to add flavor. Nutritionally, it provides concentrated fat and some protein and contains monounsaturated fats as well as small amounts of omega‑3s and selenium. Because it’s a preserved, fatty ingredient, it’s best used sparingly; it does supply a complete amino acid profile but contributes a lot of sodium and calories to a meal.
