ProductsPorkFresh Pork has shaped up and slimmed down over the past few years! In fact, pork loin centre cut, the source of many chops and roasts, is 42% leaner than in 1987! All raw, fresh pork cuts, except spare ribs, qualify as, lean when trimmed of visible fat; they contain less than 10% fat. Pork provides many important nutrients that contribute to a well balanced diet. Pork is a very high source of protein. It contains each of the eight essential amino acids needed to build, repair and maintain body tissues. Pork is the best dietary source of thiamin and a good source of other B vitamins including niacin, riboflavin, vitamins B6 and B12. Pork is a good source of minerals particularly iron and zinc. About half the iron in pork is heme iron - the most readily absorbed and digested type of dietary iron. Jackson's is proud to carry local, hormone and antibiotic free Pork. |
