About Bacon strips
Bacon strips are a popular food item prepared from pork belly or back cuts, cured and smoked to achieve their savory flavor and crispy texture. Originating from European cuisine, particularly medieval England, bacon has become a staple in breakfasts and recipes worldwide. These strips are rich in protein and contain essential nutrients like B vitamins and minerals such as zinc and phosphorus. However, they are also high in saturated fat, sodium, and cholesterol, which may contribute to heart health concerns when consumed excessively. While bacon can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, moderation is key due to its processed nature and sodium content. Turkey or plant-based alternatives are available for a lower-fat option. Nevertheless, its undeniable flavor and versatility make bacon strips a beloved ingredient in a variety of dishes, from sandwiches to salads, lending a smoky richness to meals.
