Bacon is a type of salt-cured pork made from various cuts, typically the belly or less fatty parts of the back. It is eaten as a side dish (particularly in breakfasts), used as a central ingredient (e.g., the bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich (BLT)), or as a flavouring or accent (as in bacon bits in a salad).

Rich in protein: Bacon is a good source of high-quality protein, which is essential for muscle growth and repair. Provides essential vitamins and minerals: Bacon contains vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, and B12, as well as minerals like phosphorus, zinc, and selenium.
