About Creton

Creton is a traditional French-Canadian pork spread, commonly served at breakfast or as a snack. Its key ingredients typically include ground pork, onions, milk or broth, breadcrumbs, and a blend of warming spices like cinnamon and cloves. This dish originates from Quebec and reflects the hearty, comforting flavors of the region's cuisine. While creton is rich in protein from the pork, it is also high in fat and calories, making moderation important for those mindful of their fat intake. The addition of spices can contribute some antioxidant properties, and its homemade versions often allow for healthier customization. Creton is often enjoyed spread on bread or crackers and pairs well with pickles or mustard for added flavor contrast.
