Middle bacon is a flavorful cut of pork that combines the rich fat content of streaky bacon with the leaner meat of back bacon, creating a balance of taste and texture. Popular in cuisines across Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, middle bacon is often grilled, fried, or baked as part of hearty breakfasts or savory dishes. Nutritionally, it provides a source of protein, essential B vitamins, zinc, and selenium, which support energy production and immune function. However, it is also high in saturated fat and sodium, depending on its curing and preparation methods. Opting for trimmed, reduced-sodium versions and combining it with nutrient-rich foods like vegetables or whole grains can make it part of a balanced diet. Consumed in moderation, middle bacon can add a satisfying flavor to meals without overwhelming your nutritional goals.
