Low-fat bacon pieces are small pieces of bacon that have undergone a process to reduce their fat content while maintaining their characteristic flavor and crispy texture. This ingredient is very popular in various cuisines for adding a smoky and salty touch to preparations, ideal for salads, stews, pastas, and breakfasts.
Origin: Bacon traditionally comes from the pork belly, cured and, in many cases, smoked to give it that distinctive flavor. Its use is common in many culinary cultures, especially in American and European cuisine, although its variants are found throughout Latin America.
Properties: Low-fat bacon pieces contain less cholesterol and saturated fats than conventional bacon, making them a healthier option without losing their protein content and flavor. They are a good source of energy and add an intense, savory flavor to the dishes they are incorporated into.
Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: lean bacon bits, fat-free bacon pieces, low-fat bacon cubes, lean pork belly pieces.
