Pork
The pig is the animal from which the largest amount of food can be used. Thus, from its firm meat and mild flavor, a wide range of products are made that are part of the culinary richness of many geographical areas.
At the same time, the lack of carbohydrates and the feeling of satiety that it leaves makes the leanest parts, such as the loin or sirloin, ideal for people who follow diets aimed at losing weight. However, in the Iberian pig, the percentage of fat is higher due to the animal's diet.
