About Pork, fresh, leg (ham), shank half, separable lean and fat, raw
The shank half of the pork leg sits lower on the leg, meaning more connective tissue and generally a slightly higher fat marbling compared to the butt half. Raw, with lean and fat both present, it's a moderately fatty cut. It rewards slow, moist cooking methods where the collagen in the connective tissue breaks down into gelatin, enriching the cooking liquid. Protein content is solid even in this uncooked form.
