About Rasher

Rasher refers to a thin slice of bacon or, less commonly, ham, typically associated with traditional British and Irish cuisines. Made from pork, rasher is cured, smoked, or sometimes unsmoked, offering a savory and salty flavor enjoyed at breakfast or in hearty dishes. Nutritionally, rashers are rich in protein and essential B vitamins like B12 but are also high in saturated fat and sodium. While they can provide energy and certain nutrients, overconsumption may contribute to higher cholesterol levels and blood pressure due to their fat and salt content. Opting for leaner cuts or reduced-sodium varieties can make rashers a healthier choice. Commonly pan-fried or grilled, they’re a versatile ingredient in sandwiches, salads, and traditional breakfasts, adding a satisfying crunch and flavor. Moderation and pairing rashers with nutrient-dense foods help balance their indulgent qualities.
