What it is
This is a package of uncured bacon made from organic pork. It is produced without added sugar, which is a common ingredient in many bacon products.

This product aims to provide a more natural option for bacon lovers.

To cook the bacon, place the strips in a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the desired crispness is achieved. As the bacon cooks, it will render its fat, which can be used for other cooking purposes. Drain the cooked bacon on paper towels to remove excess grease. It can then be crumbled, chopped, or served whole.
