About Peameal bacon
Peameal bacon is a type of cured pork originating from Canada, often hailed as a traditional Canadian delicacy. Made from lean pork loin, it is wet-cured in a brine and coated in finely ground cornmeal, giving it a distinctive yellow crust. Unlike regular bacon, peameal bacon is not smoked, resulting in a milder flavor and softer texture. It is lower in fat than streaky smoked bacon, making it a leaner option for those seeking to reduce their fat intake. Rich in protein, it serves as a satisfying addition to breakfast, sandwiches, or salads. However, it is high in sodium due to the curing process, so moderation is key in maintaining a balanced diet. Its versatility and savory taste have earned it a place in both casual and fine dining recipes. Often served pan-fried or grilled, peameal bacon is a staple in Canadian comfort food and a nutritious alternative to traditional bacon.
