About Pork neck

Pork neck, also known as pork collar or Boston butt when boneless, is a flavorful and versatile cut of meat prized in cuisines worldwide, especially in Asian, European, and American cooking. Naturally marbled with fat, it offers a tender, juicy texture when cooked, making it ideal for grilling, roasting, braising, or slow-cooking. Rich in protein, pork neck supports muscle repair and growth, while providing essential vitamins and minerals like B12, zinc, and iron, which contribute to energy production and immune health. However, its higher fat content, including saturated fats, means it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, particularly for individuals monitoring heart health. When trimmed properly and cooked with healthy methods like grilling or baking, pork neck can be a nutritious and delicious choice for a variety of meals.
