Pulled pork is a flavorful, slow-cooked dish often associated with Southern U.S. barbecue cuisine. Made from pork shoulder or Boston butt, the meat is seasoned with a blend of spices, smoked, or braised until tender, then shredded into bite-sized pieces. Traditional recipes may include ingredients like barbecue sauce or spice rubs, adding sweetness or tanginess to the dish. Pulled pork is a high-protein option that can be rich in vitamins like B12, zinc, and iron, which are essential for energy metabolism and immune function. However, depending on preparation, it may also be high in sodium, saturated fats, and added sugars, particularly if paired with heavy sauces or served on buttery buns. Opting for leaner cuts, lighter sauces, or whole-grain sides can make pulled pork a more nutritious choice while still retaining its smoky, melt-in-your-mouth appeal.
