Do you eat pork every week? We do, we love our pork all different cuts. What are your favorite cuts?
Incorporating pasture-raised pork into your weekly diet can offer several potential health benefits when enjoyed as part of a balanced eating plan.
-
Improved Fatty Acid Profile:
Pasture-raised pork generally has a higher concentration of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and can support heart health. -
Enhanced Nutrient Density:
These pigs often consume a varied natural diet, which can result in meat that's richer in vitamins—especially B vitamins—and minerals like zinc and iron. -
Fewer Additives:
Animals raised on pasture are not exposed to antibiotics and synthetic hormones. -
Support for Sustainable Practices:
While not a direct nutritional benefit, choosing pasture-raised pork often supports more sustainable and ethical farming practices, contributing to overall environmental health—a benefit that can indirectly impact community well-being.
Remember, moderation is key, and it's important to balance your protein sources with plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and other nutrient-rich foods for optimal health.
You can get your hog cut up in the cuts you prefer to eat at your dinner table. Please have your order in by Feburary 21st for butcher day March 5th.
