Cooking Tips

🥩 Pork

Brine pork chops for 30 minutes in salt water to keep them juicy.
Cook pork to 145°F (63°C) and rest for 3 minutes — no longer needs to be 160°F.
Low-and-slow is the secret to tender pulled pork — 225°F for 8-10 hours.

Nutrition: Lean pork tenderloin has similar protein content to chicken breast with less fat.

Storage: Refrigerate up to 3-5 days for chops, 1-2 days for ground. Freeze for 4-6 months.

🍠 Sweet Potatoes

Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 45-60 minutes until fork tender for maximum sweetness.
Cube and roast with cinnamon and a drizzle of maple syrup for a quick side.
Sweet potatoes don't need to be peeled — the skin is nutritious and edible.

Nutrition: Extremely high in beta-carotene (vitamin A), fiber, and potassium.

Storage: Store in a cool, dark place for up to 2 weeks. Don't refrigerate raw.
