About One slice bacon
One slice of bacon is a thin, cured strip of pork that has been either smoked or unsmoked, originating from various culinary traditions but commonly associated with Western cuisine. Bacon is typically made from pork belly or back cuts, cured using salt, sugar, and sometimes additional flavorings before being cooked to develop its salty, savory flavor. Nutritionally, a single slice of bacon contains roughly 40-50 calories, with a notable amount of fat, protein, and sodium. While bacon offers a source of protein and B vitamins, its high saturated fat and salt content may be of concern if consumed excessively, potentially impacting heart health and blood pressure. Moderation is key for incorporating bacon into a balanced diet, and it can often be enjoyed as a flavorful garnish or ingredient rather than a primary protein source.
