About Pork, fresh, ground, cooked
Cooked ground pork reflects what happens when fat renders out during browning: some fat is lost to the pan but the protein concentration rises. Fat is still meaningful in the final product, and no carbohydrates are added from the cooking process. Draining the cooked meat after browning reduces fat further. Ground pork is the base of many Chinese, Italian, and Southeast Asian preparations and absorbs spice and aromatics readily.
