Tosino is a sweet, savory, and lightly seasoned cured pork dish native to Filipino cuisine. Typically made from thinly sliced pork shoulder or belly, it is marinated in a blend of sugar, salt, garlic, soy sauce, and annatto for its signature reddish coloring and caramelized flavor. Often pan-fried or grilled, Tosino is traditionally enjoyed as part of a Filipino breakfast, paired with rice and eggs in a dish called "silog." While Tosino is rich in protein from pork, its sugar content makes it a high-calorie option, with potential concerns for those monitoring their intake of fats, sodium, and added sugars. Moderation is recommended to balance its delicious flavor with a healthy diet. Opting for leaner cuts of pork or making homemade versions with less sugar may help minimize its less nutritious aspects while preserving its beloved taste.
