Pulled pork is a Southern BBQ icon — pork shoulder slow-smoked for hours until it falls apart at the touch of a fork. With 22g of protein per 100g, it's one of the most protein-dense comfort foods around, delivering 210 kcal along with zinc (4.2mg) and vitamin B6 (0.45mg) for immune support and metabolism. The low-and-slow cooking method renders out excess fat while keeping the meat incredibly tender. The 2g of carbs come mostly from the BBQ sauce glaze. Pile it on a brioche bun with coleslaw for the classic combination, or serve it over rice for an easy weeknight dinner that tastes like a backyard cookout.
