Make Home-Made Sodium-Free Bacon With Pork Sternum
If you’re trying to reduce your sodium intake – for health or other purposes – this usually means cutting out bacon. However, this DIY process gives you the ability to chew on the treat without consuming salt.
Bacon, a delicious breakfast staple that has continued a successful solo career, is basically pork belly soaked in brine or salt and cured. As you can imagine, this slightly increases the sodium content. Jessica Goldman Fung of The Kitchn , however, found a way to enjoy the bacon through a two-step cooking process that involves roasting and roasting pork belly for the crispness you crave without salt. The whole “cure” and crisp process takes about an hour, which is relatively quick for any homemade bacon. Keep in mind, this is still bacon, so it’s not that much healthier overall, but if you’re trying to cut back on sodium, it’s not anything or no bacon at all.
