About Pork, ground, raw
Ground pork is simply pork that has been minced, and it forms the backbone of countless dishes around the world — Italian sausage and ragu, Chinese dumplings and stir-fries, meatballs, terrines and breakfast patties. Its mild flavor and good fat content make it juicy and forgiving to cook.
At around 228 calories per 100 grams raw, standard ground pork is moderately fatty, which is exactly what gives it its richness; leaner grinds are sold for those who want to trim the fat. It is a strong source of protein, thiamin (pork is one of the best dietary sources of this B vitamin), niacin, B6, B12, selenium and zinc.
Because it can carry harmful bacteria and, rarely, parasites, ground pork should always be cooked through to an internal temperature of about 71C / 160F. Its fat keeps it moist, so it browns and seasons beautifully in everything from chilli to spring rolls.
