About Unsmoked back bacon

Unsmoked back bacon is a lean cut of pork taken from the loin, offering a balance of rich flavor and lower fat content compared to streaky bacon. Commonly featured in British and Irish cuisine, it’s a breakfast staple often served with eggs, beans, or in a traditional fry-up. Made by curing pork loin with salt, it skips the smoking process, giving it a milder and cleaner taste. Nutritionally, unsmoked back bacon is high in protein and contains essential vitamins and minerals such as B12, zinc, and iron. While it is lower in fat than some other bacon cuts, it still contains sodium due to the curing process, which should be considered for those monitoring their salt intake. Opting for grilled or baked preparation can minimize added fats, making it a versatile choice for a balanced diet.
