Raw bacon is a cured meat product made from pork belly or back cuts. It typically undergoes a preservation process involving salt, nitrates, and sometimes sugar, resulting in its distinctive flavor and appearance. Raw bacon is rich in fats, particularly saturated fats, and provides protein and essential B vitamins like B6 and B12. It contains sodium and preservatives, which can be a concern in large quantities. While raw bacon is not safe to consume due to the potential risk of foodborne illnesses, cooked bacon is widely enjoyed in various cuisines, especially American and European dishes. Used in breakfast plates or as a flavor enhancer in recipes, it offers crispy texture and umami richness when prepared. However, moderation is key, as excessive consumption of bacon can contribute to health risks like elevated cholesterol and high sodium intake. Always cook bacon thoroughly for safe and optimal enjoyment.
