Round cut bacon, also known as bacon medallions, is a leaner option compared to traditional streaky bacon. Trimmed from the pork loin, this cut contains less fat, making it a popular choice for those seeking a healthier alternative without compromising on flavor. Characterized by its circular shape, round cut bacon often has a hearty, meaty texture and is perfect for breakfast dishes or as a savory addition to salads and sandwiches. While lower in fat, it still provides protein as well as essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins. Originating from British and Irish cuisines, where back bacon is traditionally preferred, it offers a more balanced nutritional profile. However, like all bacon, it can be high in sodium, and moderate consumption is recommended. Cooking it by grilling or baking can further reduce added oils, ensuring a light yet flavorful choice in a variety of meals.
