About Suckling pig tagu

Suckling Pig Tagu is a traditional delicacy often associated with Filipino cuisine, specifically a variation of Lechon, the country's famous roast pig dish. This dish features young pork, typically from a piglet less than six weeks old, seasoned with a blend of spices, herbs, and marinades, then slow-roasted to achieve a crispy skin and juicy meat. It’s rich in protein and essential vitamins like B12, iron, and zinc, making it a nutritious option for muscle repair and boosting immunity. However, it is also high in fat, cholesterol, and calories, particularly from its golden roasted skin and any added marinades, which can include sugar or oil. Due to its deliciously indulgent nature, Suckling Pig Tagu is best enjoyed in moderation, often as part of festive gatherings or celebrations. Its origins reflect the Filipino affinity for flavorful, communal dining experiences.
