Bacon, Raw
Bacon is a salt-cured pork product made primarily from the belly or back cuts, characterized by its alternating layers of fat and lean meat. The raw form features a soft, pliable texture and pink-red color from curing processes involving brine, smoke, or dry rubs—often with added nitrates or nitrites for preservation. While uncooked bacon is protein-dense, its high saturated fat and sodium content make portion control important for heart-healthy diets. It requires cooking (typically pan-frying or baking) to develop its signature crispness and smoky-savory flavor profile.
