Pork meat
Pork meat is edible pig muscle sold in varied cuts, proportions of fat and connective tissue, and forms including whole cuts, mince and cured products.
About Pork meat
Pork meat is the edible muscle tissue of a pig, sold in many cuts with differing proportions of lean meat, fat and connective tissue. Raw pork ranges from pale pink to deeper pink-red; its texture and flavour depend on the cut, animal and handling. The broad name does not specify a particular part of the carcass.
It is used roasted, grilled, fried, braised or minced, among many other cooking methods. Whole cuts, ground pork and cured or otherwise processed pork are distinct forms, so this general ingredient name should not be read as describing one uniform product.
