Pork is the most consumed meat in the world, by a large margin. In fact, the average American consumes the equivalent of 28 pigs over a normal lifespan. Despite the bad press it often attracts, pork packs more protein than chicken and is a great source of iron, B-vitamins and zinc.
It's easy to overcook pork, especially the leaner cuts. To guarantee your pork is safe to heat and succulent, don't cook it above 145° Fahrenheit. Let the meat rest for three minutes and cut into a luscious piece of meat that's tender and juicy. These unique recipes are good starting points to give pork a chance and maybe decide it's really "what's for dinner."
