About Pastured bacon

Pastured bacon is a savory, rich-cut meat sourced from pigs raised on lush pastures under humane, natural conditions. Unlike conventional bacon, pastured bacon comes from animals allowed to forage, promoting a diet rich in grasses and seeds that enhances the nutrient profile of the meat. Its flavor is deep and robust, complementing cuisines ranging from American breakfast staples to globally inspired dishes. Nutritionally, pastured bacon is a source of high-quality protein, essential vitamins like B12, and minerals such as zinc and selenium. It also contains healthy fats, including omega-3s, which are more abundant due to the pigs’ natural diet. However, as with all processed meats, it’s important to consume it in moderation, as bacon is relatively high in sodium and saturated fat. Selecting pastured bacon supports sustainable farming practices while offering a more flavorful and nutrient-dense alternative to conventional options.
