Why are pigs so salty?

Pigs are not any more salty than cows or chickens, but it is popular throughout the world to preserve pork by salting it. If you want to try some pork that is not so salty, go to your butcher and request a couple of pork loin chops. Marinate them in olive oil, lemon juice, and oregano and throw them on the grill until they are just barely pink in the middle. Now that's some salt free pork you will enjoy!

Is Pork Salty

Hi Kilter, have you heard the saying, "Pork is the other white meat"?
Well pig/pork...is very bland very plain tasting but when it's taken to the meat processor it will be salted and smoked wrapped and shipped to the market. Some pork is left without this process and is plain tasting, so you can add spices and marinates to it for flavor before cooking... Hope this helps ....happy new year ..from Mama Jazzy Geri

id say you are eating salt cured pork. fresh pork does not taste salty unless you put too much salt on it.

Well if you are eating cured pork, its because of the nitrates they use to cure the pork with. most pork you buy will have this unless you buy straight from the pig. LOL

sodium is used to preserve the meat which was used before refrigeration if you want wash the pork in luke warm water & that should take some of the water off.

Most pork has been cured with salt.

I believe you mean ham. Ham is salty because it is cured with salt.
Pork, as in chops, loin, ribs are not salty at all.

When they cure pork they use salt to cure it.
