Pork meat, when cooked, is a versatile and flavorful protein source found in various cuisines worldwide, including American BBQ, Chinese stir-fries, and European roasts. Rich in essential nutrients, cooked pork provides high-quality protein, which supports muscle growth and repair. It contains significant amounts of B vitamins, particularly vitamin B1 (thiamine), which aids energy metabolism, as well as iron and zinc, which are vital for immune function. Cuts such as tenderloin are lean, making them a healthier choice with lower fat content. However, fattier preparations like pork belly or ribs can be higher in saturated fats and calories, which may be less suitable for heart-healthy diets. Moderation and preparation methods like grilling, roasting, or steaming can make pork a balanced addition to meals. Always ensure it is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) to prevent foodborne illnesses while maintaining tenderness.
