About Pork, cured, bacon, cooked, baked
This is bacon as you actually eat it: cured pork cooked crisp, the fat rendered and the edges browned. Cooking concentrates everything, which is why these figures are so much denser than the raw slices — most of the water has cooked off, leaving fat, protein and a lot of flavor behind.
There's no pretending bacon is health food. It's energy-dense, high in saturated fat and, because of the cure, very high in sodium, while still supplying protein and some B vitamins. As a processed, cured meat it's one of the foods nutritionists suggest keeping occasional rather than daily.
Its saving grace is potency: a rasher or two brings huge savory impact, so a little goes a long way in a sandwich, a salad, or scattered over almost anything.
