About Lardons
Lardons are small strips or cubes of pork fat, commonly sourced from pork belly or back fat, and are a staple in French cuisine. Traditionally, they are used to enhance flavor in dishes such as quiches, salads, stews, and sautéed vegetables. Lardons are renowned for their rich, savory taste and crispy texture after being cooked. Nutritionally, they are high in fat, providing a concentrated source of calories and flavor. While they offer some protein, they are also high in saturated fat and sodium, depending on preparation. Though intense in flavor, consuming lardons in moderation is recommended due to their potential impact on heart health when eaten in excess. Often used as an indulgent garnish or ingredient, lardons exemplify the balance of richness and culinary enhancement, making them a versatile and decadent addition to a variety of dishes.
