Celebrate lean, nutritious pork during National Pork Month

During National Pork Month, we celebrate the diverse and nutritious options that pork provides. Renowned for its versatility, pork can be prepared in various ways, fitting perfectly into both traditional and modern dishes. From air fryers to open grills, pork adapts to all cooking styles, proving itself as a kitchen staple.

Pork not only offers a wide range of flavors but also serves as a lean protein source, making it a valuable part of a balanced diet. Its ability to pair well with heart-healthy grains and vegetables makes it ideal for crafting wholesome meals. 

Pork cuts like the tenderloin and sirloin roast carry the American Heart Association’s Heart Checkmark, assuring low fat and sodium content.

The ethical raising and processing of pork are central to its celebration. In Wisconsin and beyond, pig farmers are dedicated to sustainable practices that enhance food safety and quality while reducing their environmental footprint. They follow the We Care® Ethical Principles, reflecting their commitment to ongoing improvement in all aspects of pork production.

This National Pork Month, enjoy the rich, flavorful options pork has to offer. Whether it’s part of a festive outdoor barbecue or a nutritious family dinner, pork is more than just food—it’s a testament to the dedication of American farmers who prioritize both quality and sustainability in their practices.
