About Tocino pork

Tocino Pork is a sweet and savory cured meat popular in Filipino cuisine, often enjoyed as part of a traditional breakfast. Made from pork belly or shoulder, it is marinated in a mixture of sugar, salt, pepper, garlic, and annatto for its distinctive flavor and reddish hue. Tocino is pan-fried until caramelized, resulting in a tender and flavorful dish. While it offers protein and energy, its high sugar and sodium content may be a concern for individuals monitoring their intake. It’s best to enjoy Tocino in moderation and pair it with healthier sides like steamed vegetables or fresh salads to balance its richness. A staple of hearty Filipino meals, Tocino Pork is celebrated for its cultural significance and irresistible taste.
