Fried Pork Chops

--Did you know that pork is now 16% leaner than it was 15 years ago?

--Look for the word "loin" in the name for the leanest cuts of pork.

--Pork is a great source of important nutrients, such as B-vitamins and protein.

--Pork tenderloin is just as lean as a skinless chicken breast.

--Pork's mild flavor goes well with many ethnic seasonings, spice rubs and marinades.

--It takes about eight minutes to broil, grill or sauté a pork chop.

--Pork chops are America's favorite cut of pork, and because they come from the pork loin, they are also a healthful choice.
​
--Because pork is so lean, it is important not to overcook it.
