About Pork belly

Pork belly is a flavorful cut of meat that comes from the underside of the pig, known for its tender texture and rich layers of fat. It is prized in cuisines around the world, including Chinese, Korean, and Filipino dishes, where it is often braised, roasted, or used to make crispy pork dishes. Nutrition-wise, pork belly is a source of protein and essential vitamins like B12 and zinc, but it is also high in saturated fat and calories. While its fat content provides energy and enhances flavor, excessive consumption may contribute to heart health concerns. Moderation and preparation methods, such as trimming excess fat or pairing it with vegetables, can help make it part of a balanced diet. Its versatility and indulgent taste make it a popular choice for savory recipes.
