About Pernil
Pernil is a traditional Latin American dish, most notably popular in Puerto Rican and Dominican cuisines. It consists of marinated and slow-roasted pork shoulder seasoned with garlic, oregano, vinegar, citrus juices, and other spices, delivering rich, savory flavors. Typically served during celebrations and holidays, Pernil is tender with a crispy outer layer, known as "chicharrón." Nutritionally, it is a protein-rich food, offering vitamins such as B12 and essential minerals like zinc and iron. However, since Pernil contains a significant amount of fat, particularly saturated fat from the pork skin and marbling, it can be high in calories. Pairing it with vegetables and whole grains can balance nutritional intake. While delicious and culturally cherished, consuming it in moderation is recommended for those mindful of heart health or maintaining a lower-fat diet.
