About Pork side

Pork Side, often referred to as side pork or fresh pork belly, is a cut of pork sourced from the belly area of the pig. Unlike bacon, it is not cured or smoked, offering a pure and natural flavor profile. This versatile cut is popular across various cuisines, particularly in Asian dishes like Korean samgyeopsal or Chinese braised pork belly. It is prized for its balance of meat and fat, providing a tender texture and rich taste when cooked. However, Pork Side is high in saturated fat and calories, making moderation key for a healthy diet. On the positive side, it is a good source of protein, essential for muscle repair and development. Pairing it with vegetables or lean sides can make it part of a balanced meal. Cooking methods like grilling or baking can help reduce excess fat, enhancing its nutritional value.
