About Carne de puerco
Carne de Puerco, or pork meat, is a staple in various cuisines, particularly in Latin American and Spanish cooking. It is versatile and often featured in dishes like tacos, stews, or as a filling in tamales. Depending on the cut, pork can range from lean proteins, such as tenderloin, to fattier options like pork belly. Rich in protein, vitamins like thiamine, and minerals such as zinc and iron, pork provides essential nutrients that support muscle health and immune function. However, fattier cuts are high in saturated fats and cholesterol, which may impact heart health if consumed excessively. Preparing Carne de Puerco in healthier ways, such as grilling or baking, and pairing it with fresh vegetables can balance its nutritional profile. When enjoyed in moderation, it offers both flavor and nourishment as part of a well-rounded diet.
