Pulled pork is a flavorful, tender meat dish commonly rooted in American barbecue traditions, particularly the Southern United States. It is made by slow-cooking pork shoulder or pork butt until it becomes fall-apart tender, often seasoned with a blend of spices like paprika, garlic powder, and brown sugar, and sometimes marinated in a tangy barbecue sauce. The cooking process typically allows the meat to retain its juiciness while absorbing rich, smoky flavors. Pulled pork is a good source of protein and provides essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins. However, depending on preparation, it can also be high in saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars from sauces or rubs. Opting for leaner cuts, moderating portion size, and pairing it with healthy sides like vegetables can balance its nutritional profile. Pulled pork works well in sandwiches, salads, tacos, and more, making it a versatile and popular dish.
