About Shoulder pork
Shoulder pork is a flavorful cut sourced from the upper portion of a pig’s front leg, commonly known as the pork shoulder or Boston butt. Praised for its versatility, this tender meat is a staple in various cuisines, including American BBQ, Latin dishes like carnitas, and Asian recipes such as braised pork. Packed with protein, shoulder pork provides essential amino acids to fuel muscle repair and growth. It also contains B vitamins such as B6 and B12, which support energy metabolism and brain function. However, its fat content can be significant, particularly in preparations that retain the marbling or include the skin. Choosing leaner portions, trimming excess fat, or employing healthier cooking methods like roasting or slow-cooking can help balance its nutritional profile while preserving its rich, succulent flavor. Ideal for hearty meals, shoulder pork remains a beloved choice for celebrating comfort food traditions around the world.
