What it is
These are small, pre-cooked pieces of bacon. They are made from real pork bacon that has been smoked and then crumbled into bite-sized bits. The pieces are shelf-stable and ready to use straight from the package. They offer a convenient way to add a smoky, savory bacon flavor to various dishes without the need to cook bacon from scratch. The texture is typically crispy and slightly chewy.
