No Sugar Dry Rubbed Uncured Bacon
"As delicious as bacon can be (and believe us, we consider ourselves the foremost experts on how delicious bacon can be), a typical strip of cured bacon isn't always the best choice for folks who are watching their sugar or sodium intake. But, of course, as intrepid adventurers on the culinary seas (when not performing our bacon deliciosity expert roles, that is), we felt it was our duty to bridge that gap. That's why we've developed Trader Joe's No Sugar Dry Rubbed Uncured Bacon, because cutting back on sugar and salt shouldn't mean you miss out on bacon's savory splendor. Our supplier starts with pork that was raised crate free, completely vegetarian fed, and strictly without the use of antibiotics or hormones, then covers it in a dry rub composed of sea salt and spices like fenugreek, white pepper, and allspice-and, notably, no sugar. Once the dry rub has had time to set in, the bacon is then slow smoked over a blend of smoldering natural hardwood for seven to eight hours. The result is a superbly spiced, smoky bacon that crisps and crackles in your skillet just as bacon should, but without any of the sugar, and about 37% less sodium than the USDA standard. For those trying to cut their carbs while still enjoying a hearty breakfast, this one's for you-each strip of our No Sugar Dry Rubbed Uncured Bacon boasts an average zero grams of carbohydrates, and four grams of protein. Without the extra sugar, feel free to enjoy this bacon to its full potential, be it diced, fried, and mixed in with Brussels sprouts, atop a veggie wrapped hamburger, or just on its own for a delightfully traditional breakfast (or snack)."
