Abstract

"Roast pork, flavorful and juicy . . . crisp bacon, filling the air with tempting aroma . . . and tantalizing baked ham exemplify some of the good eating provided by pork. Many other pork cuts, both fresh and cured, also appear on the table the year around. Pork is high in nutritive value. An especially rich source of thiamine (vitamin BJ, pork also supplies other B vitamins and iron. It’s a good source of protein, too. Variety meats are rich in these nutrients. In addition, liver is an especially good source of vitamin A. Even calorie watchers may include pork in their meals. A 3- ounce serving of roast fresh Boston butt with the fat trimmed off contains approximately 205 calories; a 3-ounce serving of cured ham, fat trimmed off, contains about 160 calories. This bulletin will help you identify fresh and cured pork cuts in retail markets. It will give tips on how to select goodquality pork, how to estimate quantity to buy, and how to store it properly. Directions and timetables for cooking pork and recipes featuring pork are also included."--Page 3.
