Canadian Bacon
Canadian Bacon is a cured back‑cut pork product (often called back bacon or peameal bacon) popular in North American and British-influenced cuisines; it's commonly served hot on breakfast plates or as a sandwich topping and is known for being leaner and meatier than streaky bacon. Nutritionally it is a concentrated source of protein, providing about 29g of protein per 100 g, which makes it filling and useful where a high-protein, low‑fat option is desired. Because it is a processed, cured meat it can be high in salt and often contains curing agents and additives, so it’s best enjoyed in moderation or swapped for unprocessed roasted pork or lean poultry when reducing sodium and preservatives is a priority.
