Roast Pork Shoulder is a savory dish commonly found in a variety of cuisines, including American BBQ, Caribbean, and Latin cuisines such as Puerto Rican pernil. The cut comes from the front portion of the pig, known for its rich marbling and tender texture when slow-roasted. Typically seasoned with herbs, garlic, and spices, it often features a crispy exterior and juicy interior. Nutritionally, pork shoulder is a good source of protein, B vitamins, and zinc, which promote muscle repair and support immune health. However, it is a fatty cut, containing saturated fats that should be consumed in moderation, especially if paired with added oils or fried sides. When roasted and served with fiber-rich vegetables or whole grains, it can be a balanced and flavorful meal.
