About Pork, mince, raw

Raw pork mince is pork cut or ground into small, irregular pieces. It is usually pink to reddish pink, sometimes with visible white fat, and feels moist and loosely clumped. Its flavour before cooking is mild. The proportions of lean meat and fat vary according to the source cuts and the particular mince.

It is commonly shaped, fried, stewed, or incorporated into fillings and other preparations. This entry describes uncooked mince, not cooked crumbles or seasoned sausage meat. Mince may be sold in different fat grades or coarseness, so the appearance and texture are not uniform across products.
