Nutritional values
Pork should only be enjoyed in moderation, as it sometimes contains up to 20 percent fat with plenty of unhealthy saturated fatty acids. Pork loin is relatively lean with about 5 percent fat. Nevertheless, this meat should not be put on the plate every day, because it can promote gout and inflammation. If we consume it only occasionally, we can benefit from the high quality iron and proteins it contains.
If you prepare the delicious pork loin with herbs and baked potatoes for festive occasions, then a non-alcoholic cocktail is the perfect accompaniment to the dish. Try the Fresh Pink Drink with the pork loin.
