Peameal bacon is a type of unsmoked back bacon made from lean pork loin that is trimmed, cured, and rolled in cornmeal for added texture. Originating in Canada, it is often associated with traditional Canadian cuisine and has become a popular breakfast or sandwich ingredient. Unlike streaky bacon, peameal bacon is lower in fat and calories per serving, making it a leaner alternative for those monitoring their dietary intake. It also provides a good source of protein, essential for muscle growth and repair. However, being a cured meat, it can contain higher levels of sodium, which may be a consideration for individuals managing heart health or blood pressure. Peameal bacon is versatile and can be pan-fried, grilled, or baked, offering a flavorful option that blends well in both savory and sweet dishes.
