About Tosino pork

Tosino pork is a sweet and savory cured meat popular in Filipino cuisine. Made from thinly sliced pork, often from the shoulder or belly, it's marinated with a blend of sugar, salt, spices, garlic, and sometimes pineapple juice or annatto for added flavor and vibrant color. With its tender texture and caramelized outer layer when cooked, Tosino is typically pan-fried or grilled and served with steamed rice. While Tosino offers a rich source of protein, it is also high in sugar and sodium due to its curing process, making moderation key for those monitoring their intake. Traditional preparations may also contain preservatives, but homemade versions allow for healthier alternatives such as reduced sugar or natural curing methods. Enjoyed as part of breakfast or a hearty meal, Tosino highlights the Filipino palate's love for balanced sweetness and savory notes.
