Bacon rashers, back, fat trimmed, grilled

Back bacon rashers are cured pork. These figures describe grilled back bacon with the back fat removed, based on samples of smoked and unsmoked bacon. It mainly provides protein and fat, with 26g of protein and 12g of fat per 100g. This includes 4.6g of saturated fat, while the salt content is 3.6g per 100g.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Bacon also provides B vitamins, which help the body release energy from food. Although the back fat has been trimmed, saturated fat remains, and the salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their intake. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.
