About Rashers bacon

Rashers Bacon is a traditional thinly sliced pork product popular in Irish and British cuisines. It is typically cured, smoked, or both, offering a savory and richly flavorful profile. Made primarily from pork loin or belly, rashers are high in protein but also contain significant levels of fat and sodium due to the curing process. While it provides essential B vitamins such as B12 and minerals like iron, its high salt content and saturated fat make it a food best enjoyed in moderation. Often served as part of a hearty breakfast alongside eggs and toast or incorporated into various dishes, Rashers Bacon adds smoky depth and texture to meals. To balance its nutritional impact, consider pairing it with whole grains and fresh vegetables for a healthier plate.
