Boczek wędzony parzony
Description
Smoked parboiled bacon is a sliced or chunked piece of pork belly with a distinct, pleasantly smoky aroma, a delicate, moist texture, and a characteristic layer of fat that gives it a golden appearance when fried. The flavor is salty, slightly sweet, and meaty, while parboiling softens the rawness, making the meat tender and juicy. It is a good source of protein, energy, and B vitamins, as well as minerals such as iron and zinc, but it also contains a significant amount of saturated fats and salt, so it is advisable to consume it in moderation. It is typically used as an element of breakfasts, sandwiches, salads, one-pot dishes, soups, and pasta, and can also be cut into cubes or used in roasts to enhance flavor. Bacon is best stored in a cool place (0–4°C) tightly wrapped; once opened, it should be consumed within a few days, or frozen for longer storage, thawing in the refrigerator.
