Ground Pork

Ground Pork is coarsely chopped pork commonly used across many cuisines for dishes like meatballs, dumpling fillings, bolognese-style sauces and stir-fries. It’s valued for its tenderness and ability to carry flavors and spices in both Western and Asian cooking. Nutritionally, Ground Pork is primarily eaten as a protein source, providing about 26.9g of protein per 100g, along with B-vitamins such as thiamine and the trace mineral selenium. As a choice of animal protein, it supplies high-quality amino acids and tends to be satisfying in meals; if you’re aiming to reduce saturated fat intake you can easily swap to leaner ground poultry or extra-lean pork without changing most recipes.
