About Bacon medallion

Bacon medallions are lean cuts of bacon typically sourced from the pork loin, offering a healthier alternative to traditional streaky bacon. Originating from British cuisine, they are celebrated for their reduced fat content while still delivering the savory, smoky flavor of bacon. Unlike regular bacon, medallions have minimal visible fat and are often trimmed of excess rind, making them a favorable choice for health-conscious individuals. They are rich in protein, providing essential nutrients for muscle repair and growth, but should be consumed in moderation due to their sodium content. Bacon medallions can be grilled, baked, or fried and are commonly used in breakfast dishes, salads, sandwiches, or as a garnish for savory meals. Their balance of flavor and nutrition makes them a versatile and smarter option for enjoying the indulgence of bacon without excess guilt.
