About Ground pork
Ground pork is finely minced pork meat, typically sourced from shoulder cuts or trimmings, and is known for its versatility in cooking. This protein-rich ingredient is commonly used in cuisines worldwide, from Chinese dumplings and Southeast Asian stir-fries to Italian meat sauces and sausages. Ground pork contains essential nutrients like protein, vitamins B6 and B12, zinc, and iron, which support muscle health and immune function. However, its fat content can vary depending on the cut, with higher-fat versions contributing significant amounts of saturated fat. Opting for lean ground pork helps reduce these levels while maintaining its rich flavor. Its mild taste absorbs spices and seasonings well, making it a staple in both savory and aromatic dishes. While delicious and nutrient-dense, moderation is key, particularly for those monitoring fat intake for cardiovascular health.
