The Bacon Cookbook – Bacon Nutrition Facts and Health Benefits – Bacon gets its unique flavor from pork, salt, fat, and sometimes added sugar. Meat is a popular choice and favorite because of its unbeatable taste.
Bacon comes from the pig’s belly, is salt-cured, and often smoked before reaching grocery store shelves.
Most of the fat melts off when you cook and drain it by putting cooked bacon on a plate stacked with a few paper towels. Nitrates and nitrites are added to improve the shelf-life and appearance.
Bacon in the U.K. and Canada is sometimes different than in the U.S. Their bacon is taken from the back of the pig, making it taste more similar to ham.
