Guest guest Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Yesterday, I bought some more " fresh bacon " which has no seasoning at the local farmer's market. I also bought some " seasoned bacon " which he said only had sea salt. Then, he gave me a pound of sausage to try which has only sea salt, pepper and sage! No nitrates or sugars or anything else. The key is to find a place that sells grass-fed all-natural beef, chicken and pork without processing with chemicals, and sends it straight to the slaughter house for packinging and freezing. > > Does anyone know of a brand of bacon without sugar?

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Gwaltney makes a " no sugar added " bacon, but it does contain sodium nitrite, sodium phosphates, and sodium erythorbate (antioxidant/preservative made from fermented sugars). It is sold at Wal-Mart. > > Does anyone know of a brand of bacon without sugar? I don't see any at > either Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. Also, is there a sausage that's ok?

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 No, I believe you're right. It's probably impossible to completely eliminate ALL traces of what we shouldn't eat. As long as it's not " maple sugar cured " bacon or some such, I think it's OK.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 The one I buy is Applegate uncured bacon. It has salt and sugar in the ingredients but the amount of sugar per serving is listed at 0g. I have not found one that has no sugar at all.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 , we make our own bacon from pork belly that we buy directly from farmers. We do a simple salt cure: just liberally salt the slab of belly, put it in the fridge for a few days (or longer), and then slice and fry just like bacon. We love it, and it produces delicious drippings (fat!) that we use for sauteeing greens, eggs, etc. You have to rub some of the salt off before you fry it though. on this list did not care for it much, so it may be a variable thing. It's certainly cheaper than something like Applegate or Niman Ranch - both of which are GAPS illegal anyway (I think) because of the sugar that they use for curing. In Oregon I'll bet anything there are farmers you could buy this from. (We spent a summer in Portland two years ago and loved the farm scene there!) wrote: We typically did not use pork at all but have been bending our rule on that for bacon i make BLT lettuce wraps for my brkfst - cause of no eggs. Getting more fat that way too, using grease for cooking etc. Buying nitrate free stuff is breaking the bank though and really hard to find around here.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Thanks , I have been meaning to ask about it. I was thinking about buying it and trying. We are a couple hrs from Portland - Oregon is great for finding all this stuff for the msot part. Plenty of farmers but so far i have found either pork belly as you mentioned, or cured with nitrates/nitrites. The bacon we have been getting does have some sugar. But i was sick of the same things for B, L, and D (soup, more soup, roasted/boiled meat and veggies etc). I used to eat yogurt/fruit, smoothies, or eggs/veggies for brkfst. i needed a break from the usual. I need a recipe for making a brkfst suasage out of ground beef. I have tried a couple but they never have the sausage flavor. Not meaning pork either. It is sage, all spice etc. that i am not getting right. One batch that i made i did not have thoroughly mixed - bites of it tasted awesome. Just like country sausage. It had lot's of that specific seasoning in it. Other bites were not so great. Not sure what seasoning it was though. I thought it was sage so added more to the next batch, it was gross. I have tried a few batches since then and nothing has come as close as that first one did. Most of the recipes i have found have a few different spices in it so i can't pin point what one it is i taste that seems country sausage to me. > > , we make our own bacon from pork belly that we buy directly from farmers.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 > > Hi Bee, I found out how much sugar is added to the barrels of bacon. Hi Doris! Thanks for your order! As always, we'll do the best we can on the eggs. TO answer your questions, calculated it all out and there's .008# of sugar in 1# of bacon when all is said and done. is working on the dog food for this trip. If he gets it done, how much do you want to try? I think he's planning on 1# reseal-able packages. Just let me know. Thanks! > > Does that still sound OK?

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hi Doris, Are you from Colorado? If you are, I'd be interested to know where you're getting the bacon from. ---- and the JRTs Nunn, CO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
