Bacon rashers, middle, raw

Middle bacon rashers are cured pork cut from the middle section of the pig. The figures here describe raw bacon and include smoked and unsmoked samples. Bacon mainly provides fat and protein. Per 100g, it contains 20g of fat, including 7.3g of saturated fat, and 15g of protein. It also contains 2.6g of salt.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. The salt and saturated fat content are worth noting for people monitoring these in their diet. These values apply to raw bacon; cooking changes its water and fat content, so figures for cooked bacon may differ. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
