Pork Belly 5 Lbs. Avg.

Pork belly is a prevalent ingredient in world cuisine. Pork belly is a cut of meat known for its intensely rich, decadently succulent flavor that only deepens when it is slow-cooked and the fat rendered down. We love our pork belly here in America, and it is also a popular ingredient in Phillipino, Hispanic, Chinese, Dutch, Norwegian, Korean, Vietnamese, and Thai cuisine.

If you've ever wanted to try guo bao, flæskesteg, Dongpo pork, bandeja paisa, tocineta, Korean BBQ, and more, you'll need our 5-pound pork belly to explore it all! As its name suggests, pork belly is a fatty piece of meat, which may make you wonder: is it healthy to eat? Does it provide any nutrients along with flavor? It does!

While it is high in calories, you'll find pork belly has B1, B2, B3, B12, and E vitamins and iron, zinc, and copper, making it a fantastic source of B vitamins. The methods that work best when preparing and cooking our 5-pound pork belly are:

• Slow roasting
• Oven roasting
• Braising
• Stewing
• Deep-frying
• Grilling
• Smoking
• Pan-searing

We recommend a slow, moist cooking method like stewing, braising, or even a crockpot for the most tender, flavor-packed pork belly.
