Bacon medallions are a lean cut of cured pork, typically derived from the back portion of the pork loin. Unlike traditional bacon slices, medallions exclude the fatty streaks found in belly bacon, making them a lower-fat alternative. They retain the rich, smoky flavor associated with bacon, offering a satisfying yet healthier twist. A staple in British and European cuisines, bacon medallions are commonly featured in breakfast dishes, salads, or paired with vegetables for balanced meals. They are an excellent source of protein and essential B vitamins such as B6 and B12, supporting energy metabolism and overall health. However, they should be consumed in moderation due to their sodium content from curing. Grilling or baking can further enhance their nutritional profile by reducing added fats. Bacon medallions provide a flavorful option for those seeking a lighter version of this well-loved ingredient.
