About Cuban pulled pork

Cuban Pulled Pork, or "Lechon Asado," is a flavorful, slow-cooked dish originating from Cuban cuisine. It typically features pork shoulder marinated in a blend of citrus juices, such as lime and orange, along with garlic, oregano, cumin, and other spices. The pork is roasted or slow-cooked until tender enough to shred, resulting in moist, savory meat infused with bright, zesty flavors. Nutritionally, it’s a high-protein dish that provides essential vitamins and minerals, including iron and zinc. However, it can be high in saturated fat depending on the cut of pork used and any added oils during preparation. Pairing it with nutrient-rich sides like fresh vegetables or whole grains can balance the dish and enhance its health benefits. A staple in Cuban celebrations, Cuban Pulled Pork perfectly combines tradition with bold taste.
