Bacon
Bacon is thinly sliced, cured and usually smoked pork that appears across many cuisines as a breakfast staple, flavouring agent or salad/casserole garnish. It is prized for its smoky, salty flavour and crisp texture when fried. Nutritionally, Bacon is a concentrated source of animal protein and has a high-quality amino acid profile, but it is also relatively high in fat at 29.5g per 100g and typically contains added salt from the curing process. It provides useful amounts of vitamin B12 and selenium. Because it is a cured and smoked product, choose portions and cooking methods thoughtfully: leaner cuts or poultry-based alternatives keep the characteristic flavour while lowering saturated fat and sodium.
