"Pink" protein:
pork as a source
of protein
and nutrition

Pork is one of the most widely consumed proteins in the world and, along with chicken, is a nutritious, satiating and irresistible-tasting choice.
Although it is commonly classified as "pink" meat, nutritionally pork is considered "red" because of the presence of myoglobin, although its concentration may vary depending on the cut.

Pork protein is complete, that is, it contains all essential amino acids for the body, and is characterized by high thermogenic power that stimulates metabolism.

For this reason, "pink" protein is an excellent choice for a balanced and healthy diet.

In addition to being an excellent source of noble protein, pork is rich in micronutrients that are highly bioavailable, that is, easily absorbed by our bodies.
Among the main nutrients are:

  • B vitamins, which are essential for energy metabolism and the well-being of the nervous system;
  • mineral salts such as iron, potassium and zinc, useful for the proper functioning of the body;
  • natural antioxidants such as creatinine, taurine, and glutathione, which protect cells from oxidative stress.


In addition, thanks to evolving animal feeding techniques, many pork meats today contain a significant proportion of unsaturated fats, including omega-3, known for their benefits on cardiovascular health.
