Pork Shoulder is a versatile cut of pork commonly used for slow-roasting, braising and barbecuing in cuisines from American barbecue to Spanish Galician lacón. It is prized for its marbling and rich flavor and appears in forms such as Boston Butt, pork butt and lacón. Nutritionally, Pork Shoulder is a concentrated source of animal protein, delivering about 17.7g of protein per 100g, and also supplies important B-vitamins (notably thiamine) and selenium. It contains little carbohydrate or fiber and has a moderate fat content; trimming visible fat or choosing leaner cuts will reduce saturated fat. As a food, it provides a high-quality amino acid profile, making it useful for meeting protein needs, while simple preparation choices (trimming, portion control, and cooking methods that drain fat) can help keep it aligned with a balanced diet.
