amber88 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Not sure if anyone has posted this before, so I apologize if they have, but I've discovered a great substitute for bacon! I baked some Prosciutto in the oven at 400 for a few minutes and it became super crispy. I chopped it up to add to a baked potato and it tasted exactly like bacon bits!

AuntJane Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I have heard this before, but thanks for the reminder! I have heard that Whole Foods sells compliant bacon, but I was there this morning and MY Whole Foods does NOT sell compliant bacon. Boo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgymama Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I agree! I am loving it! Only sad thing is that I realized my package I buy costs $9.99 yowch! I figure I am worth it though and will buy just a package a month or every two months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kithkin Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Yum! I found some salt pork (ingredients: pork, salt) at the store, diced it and rendered the fat, then cooked greens with the fat and left the tiny crunchy cubes in there. They were like little meat croutons of bacon-like joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch55 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I just found this site doing a search... I'm going to check out the tabs at the top and read about it... I have to look locally at Super 1 foods, Costco and Natural Grocers also, but I'm almost sure their nitrite free versions have sugar... http://pedersonsnaturalfarms.com/no-sugar-products/paleo-girl-finally-gets-her-bacon-yeeehaw/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch55 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 my butcher makes sugar free bacon.. ingredients are paprika, ground celery and salt Do you have to order the whole hog???

CaGirl Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Until recently yes you had to buy the slab (1/2 the hog) but they now have sugarless bacon out front in the case.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny B Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 My Whole Foods does not sell compliant bacon, but Sprouts and Market Street do! WOO HOO! I do love some Prosciutto, as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patronick328 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I go with straight pork belly. I'll cut it into rashers myself and season it with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook it like bacon. It delicious, plus then you can save the fat for cooking later (brussel sprouts, bacon dressing, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators ShannonM816 Posted July 29, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 29, 2015 Are u getting the prosciutto from the deli? If so, what brand? Hi, jeanbean. For prosciutto, or any other grocery item, you'll really have to go to your store and look at labels. Ideally, prosciutto will just have pork and salt. If there are other ingredients, make sure they're not a Sneaky Sugar, and consult the Common Additives Cheat Sheet to find out more about the most common additives you might see.
