Pork leg joint is a cut of meat from the hind leg of a pig. These figures describe the raw joint with both lean meat and fat included, with no fat removed and excluding the skin. It mainly provides protein and fat. Per 100g, it contains 20g of protein and 15g of fat, including 5.3g of saturated fat, and provides 894 kJ of energy.
Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Pork also provides thiamin, which helps the body release energy from food. The fat and saturated fat content are relevant for people monitoring their energy or saturated fat intake. Cooking changes the weight and nutrient concentration, so these raw figures do not directly describe cooked pork. Full figures are in the tables below.
