About ""PIC,BNLS,CUSH MT,VP,FL,4-4PC OR 4-5PC""
Farmland Boneless Picnic Cushion Meat is a fresh, unprocessed pork cut marketed by Farmland Foods, a brand of Smithfield Foods, primarily through food-service channels. The product code format reflects the internal Farmland naming system, indicating boneless picnic cushion meat in a vacuum-packed format with four to five pieces per package.
The picnic shoulder, also called the picnic ham, is the lower portion of the pork front leg, located below the Boston butt. The cushion refers specifically to a boneless muscle group within the picnic that has been separated and trimmed for consistent shape and easier portion control. Unlike the Boston butt, which has become the preferred cut for barbecue pulled pork, the picnic shoulder has more connective tissue and a slightly more complex flavor profile due to the greater muscle variety in the lower leg.
This product contains no added ingredients other than fresh pork, making it one of the simplest products in the Farmland foodservice line. The natural fat content of 9.8 grams per 112-gram serving and protein of 18.75 grams reflect the mixed lean-to-fat ratio typical of shoulder cuts. With zero carbohydrates and no added seasonings, this cut is suited for applications where the processor or kitchen wants full control over flavor development, including curing, smoking, braising, or grinding.
Picnic cushion meat is commonly used in processed meat manufacturing as a raw material for ham, sausage, and deli meat production. In food-service applications, it might be used for pulled pork, stewing, or as a component in mixed-protein preparations. The vacuum packaging preserves freshness and extends refrigerated shelf life without chemical additives.
