About Pork shank
Pork shank is a flavorful cut of meat derived from the lower leg of a pig, commonly used in slow-cooked dishes to achieve tenderness and depth of flavor. Popular in European cuisines like German and Italian, it’s frequently featured in recipes such as osso buco or braised pork dishes. Rich in protein, pork shank also contains essential vitamins and minerals such as iron, zinc, and B vitamins, which support energy and immune function. However, it is also higher in fat and cholesterol, particularly if the skin is left on, so moderation is key for heart health. Cooking methods like braising or roasting can help render fat while preserving nutritional value. Pairing pork shank with fiber-rich vegetables and whole grains creates a balanced, satisfying meal for both flavor and nutrition.
