INTERPORC highligths the benefits of pork products for a healthy life
The aim was to present gourmet dishes inspired by the flavours of the autumn season that is now beginning and that highlight the tradition of Spanish gastronomy, its innovation and the excellence of its food. In this context, INTERPORC has selected a recipe to be prepared by the renowned chef Nicolás Cudero: 'Pork shoulder marinated with paprika from La Vera'.
During its preparation, the nutritional and biological importance of white-coated pork in general, and of ham in particular, has been highlighted. More specifically, its benefits as a source of high biological value proteins, essential amino acids and B vitamins, especially vitamin B12, which is key to the development of red blood cells and the brain, have been underlined.
Its monounsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic acid, benefit the cardiovascular system, while the high iron and zinc content contributes to improving immune function and reducing fatigue. Pork is a particularly recommended food for children, women of childbearing age, athletes and the elderly due to its nutritional properties.
Daniel de Miguel, deputy director of INTERPORC, said that "the qualities of ham have made it one of our culinary emblems around the world". Regarding the Iberian pork, he stressed that “it is a very versatile and delicious cut with a fat infiltration rich in oleic acid that fits perfectly into a healthy diet .”
For this reason, he added, "it has everything to be part of the recommended consumption of between three and four weekly servings of 100 to 125 grams each, as indicated by doctors and nutrition experts".
