About Bacon medallions
Bacon medallions are lean cuts of pork taken from the eye of the loin, offering a lower-fat alternative to traditional streaky bacon. Originating from European cuisines, particularly in the UK and Ireland, they are prized for their meaty texture and reduced fat content. Unlike regular bacon, medallions are trimmed of excess fat, resulting in a protein-rich product with fewer calories and saturated fats. They still deliver the savory, smoky flavor associated with bacon but in a lighter form, making them a popular choice for health-conscious individuals or those monitoring cholesterol intake. Because they lack the fatty marbling of traditional bacon, they are an excellent option for grilling, pan-frying, or baking without excess grease. However, it's worth noting that bacon medallions may still contain added salt or preservatives, so moderation is key for maintaining a balanced diet.
