Gyro pork is a flavorful and widely enjoyed dish originating from Greek cuisine. Typically made from marinated pork slices seasoned with a blend of Mediterranean herbs and spices like oregano, garlic, and thyme, the meat is traditionally cooked on a vertical rotisserie for tender, smoky perfection. Often served in pita bread with fresh vegetables such as tomatoes, onions, and lettuce, it’s accompanied by a dollop of tangy tzatziki sauce, which consists of yogurt, cucumber, and dill. Gyro pork is a good source of protein and contains essential vitamins from the vegetables and yogurt. However, depending on preparation, it can be high in sodium and saturated fat, particularly when heavy dressings or processed meats are used. Opting for fresh ingredients and balanced portions makes this classic taste of Greece both delicious and a more health-conscious choice.
