Going through the archive of our favorite recipes. We realized we have never done a post focusing exclusively on pork. Which is odd because we love pork! Low-fat cuts of pork are higher in nutrients than their beef counterparts. And, most of the time, pork is less expensive than beef! However, you should note that pork can be just as high in cholesterol as beef. It’s classified as red meat — no matter what the advertisement said! If your doctor told you to steer clear of red meat, have a conversation about your diet and if pork is healthy for you.
