About Canadian bacon
Canadian bacon, also known as back bacon, is a lean, smoked meat made from the pork loin, a cut located along the pig's back. Unlike traditional bacon, which comes from the fatty belly of the pig, Canadian bacon boasts a significantly lower fat content, making it a leaner alternative. Originating in Canada, this protein-rich meat is often featured in classic breakfast dishes and recipes such as Eggs Benedict or as a topping for pizzas and sandwiches. Canadian bacon is an excellent source of protein and essential vitamins such as B6 and B12, important for energy production and maintaining healthy nerve function. It tends to have less fat and fewer calories than belly bacon, making it a heart-healthier choice when consumed in moderation. However, it is still cured and salted, so it contains a notable amount of sodium, which may be a concern for those monitoring their sodium intake.
