Depends on the bacon. You can get uncured bacon without any added nitrates or flavorings at all.

- s0rce 4y agoIsn't that just sliced pork belly? Also, personally, I think if you cook it like bacon its not good, just grey and not flavorful, I just eat traditional bacon infrequently.
- bboylen 4y agoSorry to burst your bubble but "uncured" bacon is a sham They add celery powder instead of nitrates, so they can claim "nitrate free". However, the celery powder just decomposes into nitrates, achieving the same effect https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/food/the-uncured-bacon-illusion-its-actually-cured-and-its-not-better-for-you/2019/04/19/0c89630c-608c-11e9-9ff2-abc984dc9eec_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/food/the-uncured-ba...
- anxiously 4y agoThat's not true-- you can buy uncured bacon. It's simply "uncut pork belly" which many companies turn into bacon. We buy our pork belly direct from a farm and it hasn't been touched with anything.
- bboylen 4y agoOh yeah that of course exists, didn't mean to imply it didn't. Just the "uncured" but still processed bacon that is pretty much just regular bacon
- anxiously 4y agoThat's fair-- if it's in a package, looks, smells and tastes like bacon it's probably bacon :)
- Spooky23 4y ago“No added nitrates” usually means celery extract. (Ie nitrates)
- jnwatson 4y agoUncut pork belly isn’t bacon. Both are delicious, but definitely not the same thing.
- denton-scratch 4y agoIf it's not cured, then isn't it just raw pork?
