About PORK CHORIZO, PORK
Cacique's Pork Chorizo lists salivary glands, lymph nodes, and fat alongside pork and chorizo seasoning - an honest ingredient disclosure that reflects the traditional use of offal cuts in Mexican-style fresh chorizo. Paprika, garlic, salt, and vinegar give it the characteristic ruddy color and tangy heat. Fat content is high, protein is moderate, and there's essentially no carbohydrate. Sodium nitrite is used as a curing agent. It cooks down into a crumbly, richly flavored meat that's central to breakfast burritos, tacos, and egg dishes.
