About Back rashers

Back rashers, a staple in British and Irish cuisines, are cuts of bacon taken from the loin, offering a leaner option compared to streaky bacon. Often cured and smoked, back rashers have a savory, slightly sweet flavor, making them a popular addition to breakfast plates, sandwiches, or salads. They typically consist of a mix of juicy meat with a thin layer of fat, delivering protein while being lower in fat than other types of bacon. However, like most cured meats, they may be high in sodium, so moderation is recommended for those managing salt intake. Back rashers provide essential nutrients such as B vitamins, zinc, and iron, important for maintaining energy and immune function. When sourced from quality pork and prepared through grilling or baking, they can be a healthier choice among bacon varieties. Their rich flavor and versatility make them a cherished ingredient in traditional meals and modern recipes alike.
