About Cerdo
Cerdo, the Spanish word for pork, is a versatile meat commonly featured in traditional cuisines worldwide, including Mediterranean, Latin American, and Asian dishes. Rich in protein, pork provides essential amino acids needed for muscle repair and growth. It contains a variety of vitamins and minerals, including thiamine, selenium, zinc, and B vitamins, which support energy metabolism and immune function. Lean cuts like tenderloin or chops are lower in fat and calories, making them a healthier choice, while fattier cuts like bacon or ribs are higher in saturated fat and should be consumed in moderation. Pork is also a key ingredient in many flavorful and nutrient-rich dishes such as carnitas, chorizo, and slow-roasted porchetta. When prepared mindfully, cerdo can be part of a balanced diet, providing both nutrition and satisfying taste. Opt for fresh, high-quality pork and avoid heavily processed varieties to maximize its health benefits.
