Boston boneless pork leg

Boneless Boston pork leg is a cut of pork that comes from the rear part of the animal, specifically the leg. It is characterized as a long, lean, and boneless piece, which makes it easy to prepare and use in various recipes. This cut is ideal for roasting, stewing, and braising, and can be marinated or seasoned to taste, as it absorbs flavors very well.

Its origin is primarily associated with American butchery, from which the name "Boston" comes, referring to a specific way of cutting the leg, although it is widely used in many Latin American cuisines.

Among its properties, it stands out for being a rich source of high-quality protein, with a moderate fat content depending on the trimming process it has undergone. It also provides B-complex vitamins and minerals such as iron and zinc, which are essential for a balanced diet.

In different Latin American countries, the boneless Boston pork leg may also be known as boneless pork leg, trimmed pork leg, or simply boneless pork, terms that facilitate its identification in the local market.
