About Roast pork roll

A roast pork roll is a popular dish that consists of slow-roasted, seasoned pork encased in a crusty roll or bun, often accompanied by condiments like gravy, mustard, or apple sauce. Originating from Western cuisines, particularly in British and Australian food traditions, it has become widely appreciated globally for its hearty flavors. Nutritionally, a typical roast pork roll provides protein from the pork, carbohydrates from the bread, and various amounts of fat depending on the cut of pork. It also delivers essential vitamins like thiamine (B1) and minerals such as zinc and iron, which are found in pork. However, the exact nutritional profile can vary based on portion size and additional condiments or toppings.

Health Benefits

• High-quality protein from pork helps in muscle repair and maintenance, with around 25 grams of protein per 100 grams of pork.
• Rich in thiamine (0.87 mg per 100 grams of pork), an essential B-vitamin that supports energy metabolism and nervous system health.
• Provides iron (0.9 mg per 100 grams of pork), which is vital for oxygen transport in the blood and preventing anemia.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains gluten (from the roll), dairy (if butter or cream-based condiments are used)

Suitable for: High-protein diets, low-carb diets (if bread is excluded)

Not suitable for: Vegetarian diets, vegan diets, gluten-free diets (unless made with gluten-free bread)

Selection and Storage

Store leftover roast pork in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat thoroughly before consuming. Bread should be kept separate to maintain its texture.

Can I eat a roast pork roll on a keto diet?
