Of which "real" bacon only has trace amounts (or none at all, depending on the vitamin/mineral).
- sametmax 8y agoGoogling tells me: - Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12 - 89% of the RDA for selenium - 53% of the RDA for phosphorus But let's be honest, you don't eat bacon for the vitamins.
- ravitation 8y agoYes, unfortunately the top result isn't very good... To start it uses 3.5 oz (100g) as its serving size, which is (according to its own nutritional source) about 13 slices of bacon... Not exactly a "typical" serving. On a per slice basis... Looking at its own source (https://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/pork-products/7676/2 https://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/pork-products/7676/2): B1 (Thiamin) - 0.0 mg (2%) B2 (Riboflavin) - 0.0 mg (1%) B3 (Niacin) - 0.9 mg (4%) B5 (Pantothenic Acid) - 0.1 mg (1%) B6 - 0.0 mg (1%) B12 - 0.1 mcg (2%) Selenium - 5 mcg (7%) Phosphorus - 42.6 mg (4%) So, yes, technically it does contain those vitamins... But, like I said, not exactly in large amounts...
- haisch 8y ago3.5 ounces is not 13 slices unless you're eating paper thin bacon. Most packages are 12-16 ounces for that many slices.
- ravitation 8y agoLiterally going directly off of the nutritional source they cited... Like I said in my comment. Also, you have to consider that bacon can lose up to something like 75% of its weight during cooking...
- _Schizotypy 8y agoYou don't eat 3.5oz of bacon in one sitting? Casual. (/s)
- cr0sh 8y agoFor me, that is pretty casual; that's about the amount that I'll put on a BLT (pre-cooked weight).
