About Back bacon
Back bacon, a staple in British and Canadian cuisine, originates from the pork loin, often with a segment of belly attached. Unlike streaky bacon, found primarily in the U.S., back bacon is leaner, offering a combination of tender meat and subtle richness. It may be cured with salt, smoked for additional flavor, or left unsmoked for a milder taste. Nutritionally, back bacon is a good source of protein and several B vitamins, including B12, which supports energy production and red blood cell formation. However, it can be high in sodium and saturated fat, depending on how it's processed. Choosing lower-sodium, leaner cuts and controlling portion sizes can make back bacon a more balanced option. Often enjoyed as part of a traditional breakfast or a hearty sandwich, it brings both versatility and flavor to the table, making it a cherished ingredient in many kitchens worldwide.
