Drop a if you love bacon!
Let’s be honest…bacon makes everything better. But bacon can be high in histamines, harmful additives, and mycotoxins. So when picking bacon, quality truly matters.
Here are some tips to ensure your bacon isn’t kryptonite:
1. Go with pasture-raised (and organic) if possible: Pasture-raised pork has a better fat profile and less mycotoxins because of the quality of the animal feed. Even if it is more expensive, your health is worth the splurge.
2. Buy fresh from your local farmer: Fresher is better when it comes to histamines. Smoked meats already tend to be high in histamines, but you can lighten the load by making sure your bacon is fresh - histamines accumulate with time.
3. Avoid weird additives: For the best quality bacon, find one that is uncured with no added nitrates or nitrites. The less ingredients the better.
