About Pork shoulder butt roast

Pork Shoulder Butt Roast, often referred to as Boston Butt, is a flavorful cut of pork taken from the upper part of the shoulder. Richly marbled with fat, this cut is prized for its tenderness and bold taste, making it a popular choice in dishes like pulled pork, barbecue, and stews. Commonly used in American Southern cuisine as well as global preparations such as carnitas in Mexican cooking, it's versatile for slow cooking methods. While a great source of protein, Pork Shoulder Butt Roast is higher in fat content, especially saturated fats, which should be consumed in moderation. It provides essential vitamins and minerals such as B-vitamins, zinc, and selenium, beneficial for energy metabolism and immune health. Pairing it with nutrient-dense sides like vegetables can help balance its richness and contribute to a well-rounded meal.
