Pork, lean, average, raw

Lean pork is meat from pigs with the fat trimmed off. These figures describe raw pork, averaged across different cuts. Per 100g, it provides 22g of protein, 3.1g of fat and 1g of saturated fat. It also contains B vitamins, including 0.71mg of thiamin, as well as minerals such as zinc and selenium.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while thiamin helps the body release energy from food. The fat content of pork varies with the cut and how much fat is removed. Cooking methods and added ingredients can also change its energy, fat and salt content, so these raw values may differ from those for cooked dishes. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
