Pork Chorizo, Raw

EverydayRaw

Pork chorizo is a raw, uncured sausage made from seasoned ground pork, distinguished by its vibrant red color from smoked paprika and chili powder. This Mexican/Latin American staple contains high levels of fat and sodium due to its pork shoulder content and spice marinade, requiring thorough cooking before consumption. It delivers robust smoky-spicy flavor to dishes like tacos or scrambled eggs, offering substantial protein but requiring mindful portion control for calorie-conscious diets.
