About Pork belly meat

Pork belly is a flavorful and fatty cut of meat taken from the underside of the pig. It is a key ingredient in various global cuisines, including Chinese, Korean, and Southeast Asian dishes, where it is often braised, roasted, or stir-fried. Pork belly is prized for its tender texture and rich taste, making it a popular choice for dishes like crispy pork or char siu. It contains high levels of fat, particularly saturated fat, which contributes to its rich flavor but also means it should be consumed in moderation to avoid adverse health effects. Pork belly provides protein as well as essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin B12 and zinc, which support energy production and immune health. While indulgent, trimming excess fat or preparing it in healthier ways can mitigate its calorie density, making it a more balanced addition to meals.
