Pig meat
Pig meat, commonly called pork, covers cuts, fat and connective tissue from a pig, sold fresh, ground, prepared, or preserved rather than as one cut.
About Pig meat
Pig meat, commonly called pork, is meat from a pig. It is not one uniform cut: muscle, fat, and connective tissue vary substantially by body region and trimming. Fresh pork ranges in color from pale pink to darker red and has a mild, savory flavor; texture depends on the cut and how it is cooked.
It is sold as whole cuts, ground meat, and prepared or preserved products. The broad name does not identify a particular cut, fat level, or processing method, so it should not be treated as a single standardized ingredient. Fresh pork differs from cured, smoked, cooked, or seasoned pork products, and those forms have distinct compositions and culinary uses.
