About Shortcut bacon

Shortcut bacon is a leaner alternative to traditional streaky bacon, offering a healthier option for those who enjoy the savory taste of pork without excessive fat. It is typically made from pork loin, a more meaty cut that contains less fat compared to belly bacon, and is smoked or cured for flavor. Popular in Australian and British cuisine, shortcut bacon is known for its versatility in recipes, from breakfast dishes to salads and sandwiches. Nutritionally, it is a good source of protein, essential vitamins, and minerals such as B vitamins and zinc. However, like other processed meats, it can be high in sodium, so moderation is key. The reduced fat content makes it a preferred choice for those aiming to lower their saturated fat intake while still indulging in the flavor of bacon. Choose grilled or baked methods to enhance its health profile further.
