👉 The bacon fluid, also known as the "bacon fat," is a natural byproduct of the rendering process used to extract fat from pork belly, particularly during the preparation of bacon. This fluid is rich in fats, including saturated and monounsaturated fats, and contains various nutrients like choline, vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as minerals such as zinc and selenium. Due to its high fat content, it is often used in culinary applications beyond bacon making, such as in cooking, baking, and even as a substitute for other fats in recipes. However, its consumption should be moderated due to the high levels of saturated fats it contains.
