About Pork shoulder
Pork shoulder, a flavorful cut from the upper foreleg of the pig, is a staple in diverse cuisines such as American barbecue, Mexican carnitas, and Asian stir-fries. Known for its marbling, pork shoulder is rich in protein and essential nutrients like B vitamins, zinc, and selenium, which support muscle health and immunity. Its succulent texture comes from its fat content, which also contributes to its caloric density. While the fat provides flavor and moisture, moderation is key, as it is higher in saturated fats compared to leaner cuts of pork. Slow-cooking or braising methods bring out its tenderness, making it a versatile choice for hearty meals that emphasize satisfying textures and bold flavors. Pairing pork shoulder with fresh vegetables and whole grains can help balance its richness while creating a well-rounded and nutritious dish.
