Lechon Belly is a Filipino delicacy featuring a boneless pork belly seasoned with a blend of spices, including garlic, pepper, and lemongrass, then rolled and roasted until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Originating from traditional Filipino lechon, this dish is a flavorful centerpiece at festive gatherings and celebrations. Rich in protein, lechon belly also contains essential vitamins and minerals such as B vitamins and zinc. However, due to its high fat content, including saturated fats, it should be enjoyed in moderation, particularly for those monitoring cholesterol levels or calorie intake. To balance its richness, it is often paired with vegetables, steamed rice, or vinegar-based dipping sauces.
