Rashers, a term commonly used in Ireland and the UK, refer to thin slices of bacon typically made from pork belly or pork loin. They are a staple in traditional Irish and English breakfasts, often served alongside eggs, sausages, and toast. Rashers are cured, which may involve salting, smoking, or both, giving them their savory and distinct flavor. They are rich in protein and essential vitamins like B12, which supports energy production and nerve function. However, rashers are also high in saturated fat and sodium, so moderation is key for maintaining heart health and managing blood pressure. Opting for grilled or baked preparation instead of frying can help reduce excess fat content. For those seeking alternatives, turkey or plant-based rashers offer a lower-fat, lower-sodium option while retaining the rasher's beloved taste profile.
