Half Pork Pre-Cut

This convenient pre-cut option is a great time-saver for busy cooks! A half pork cut typically comes from either the shoulder or the loin of the pig. $2.25 lb plus processing fee.  Average all in cost $350-$375. 

• Shoulder cuts are known for their rich flavor and marbling, making them ideal for slow-cooking methods like braising, roasting, or shredding for pulled pork.

• Loin cuts are leaner and more versatile, perfect for grilling, stir-frying, or baking.

Here are some of the benefits of buying a half pork pre-cut:

• Convenience: Save time and effort by having your pork already cut and trimmed.

• Versatility: This cut can be used for a wide variety of dishes depending on whether it's from the shoulder or loin.

• Value: Half pork cuts can be a more economical option than buying smaller cuts of pork.

Tips:

• Look for a half pork cut that is well-marbled (if from the shoulder) for added flavor and tenderness.

• Choose the cut (shoulder or loin) based on your desired recipe and cooking method.

• Thaw your pork cut completely in the refrigerator before cooking.

• Be sure to cook your pork to an internal temperature of 145°F to ensure safety.

Enjoy!
