Made from 100% antibiotic-free Duroc breed hogs, our Ground Pork is great way to add a little twist to your traditional favorites – meatballs, chilis, burgers and stir-fries. Pork’s rich and savory profile makes it the perfect protein for the sweet and aromatic flavors of Asian cuisine. Easy to cook and versatile to use, Ground Pork is a fantastic staple to have on hand for a mid-week meal.
StovetopOur ground pork is made primarily from meat from the Shoulder primal, which is itself divided into two sub-primals known as the Picnic Shoulder and the Butt (from the old English word for barrel). It’s located at the front of the hog between the neck and the loin. It’s high in intramuscular fat which lends a deep, rich flavor and makes it ideal for grinding.
Our chef-coveted Heritage breed hogs are raised in open-pasture farms in eastern Pennsylvania. Naturally herd animals, the pigs roam outside as long as they like and can come inside for shelter as they please. They eat a 13-stage all-vegetarian diet and grow to roughly 280 lbs. Like all stock we source, our pork is raised without any antibiotics, hormones or steroids, and our farming partners employ the strictest standards in animal welfare.
I love using ground pork in my biscuits and gravy. Sausage has to much seasoning and I can control the seasoning with ground pork. Very flavorful and easy to use in so many different dishes I make.
I am usually hesitant to put pork in my meatballs bc of how it looks. When this arrived I l DW I’d be making them with my meatballs and they were the best yet!
Delicious! Made its way to Los Angeles super frozen. Tasted fresh!
Different from ground beef in flavor, a little sweeter tasting. Makes for a nice change in proteins.
Fabulous, 1st time that I’ve cooked a meal with ground pork. Cooked it up in my fry pan, seasoned and added some red gravy. Placed the cooked over some pasta and just enjoyed.😃
