About Pork, chop, center cut, raw

Pork is the meat of the domestic pig (Sus scrofa domesticus) and the most widely eaten meat in the world, valued for its mild, slightly sweet flavor and versatility. The carcass yields an enormous range of cuts and products, from lean tenderloin, loin chops, and leg to rich belly, shoulder, and ribs, plus cured favorites like bacon, ham, sausage, and prosciutto. Pork is a good source of high-quality protein and especially rich in thiamin, along with vitamin B12, niacin, zinc, selenium, and phosphorus.

Lean cuts such as loin and tenderloin are healthy choices, while fattier belly and shoulder reward slow cooking. Tender cuts are grilled, roasted, or pan-fried just until the juices run clear, and tougher shoulder and ribs are braised, smoked, or barbecued until fork-tender, a cornerstone of cooking from the American South to East Asia. Modern pork is safely cooked to a slightly pink 145 degrees Fahrenheit with a rest.

Choose firm, pinkish meat, and store pork chilled, using fresh cuts within a few days or freezing them.
