31: All About Pork with Charlotte Rommereim, RDN

What’s your favorite go-to supper? Pork chops? Pulled pork? Pork Kebabs. Pork is one of the most popular animal protein on the planet, and with new breeding methods, pork is leaner than ever. It's versatile, affordable, and you'll find it in pretty much every world cuisine. My guest this week is dietitian and fifth generation farmer, Charlotte Rommereim, RDN, and she joins me for all things pork, including how to shop for the leanest cuts, how to cook it just right, and healthy recipes your family will love. Charlotte lives in South Dakota where her family raises pigs, corn, and soybeans. The land they farm has been in their family since 1874, and Charlotte’s children are preparing to continue the farm tradition. Charlotte is a clinical dietitian for rural hospitals and healthcare facilities, and truly lives a “farm to fork” lifestyle. Charlotte shares her perspective on how pigs are raised and bred, food safety, her favorite ways to use pork, and some surprising information on cooking temperatures. Her husband, Steve, is the president of the National Pork Board and they have two daughters and an adorable grandson. You can read the full show notes at www.lizshealthytable.com.
