All-Natural Free-Range Pork Meatballs (300g)
Please note that the salt content of the meatballs has been reduced since the first test batch. We recommend cooking them in the vacuum pack so they retain their juicy flavor or cooking together with other ingredients as the juice from the meatballs will transfer additional umami flavor to the dishes. We also recommend serving them together with your favorite type of sauce.
Introducing clean meatballs made from free-range pork and nothing but natural ingredients - a total 300g (10.6oz), or 15 meatballs, per pack. These meatballs are the perfect choice for anyone who loves the taste of classic meatballs but wants to enjoy them guilt-free. Our meatballs are minimally processed and made with natural ingredients, ensuring a fresh and flavorful taste that is second to none. Easy to prepare and can be used in a variety of dishes, including spaghetti and meatballs or meatball subs. Stock up on them and have them ready in no time for a quick and clean meal for your kids or the whole family to enjoy. The juices from the meatballs have a delicious umami flavor, so we recommend using them in dishes like soup for additional flavor.
Free-range pork, in this case, pastured pork tastes different because it is different! The pigs are able to exercise freely and build natural muscles without the aid of growth promoters. They get to wander and forage with the herd and interact and do not suffer the same stress as intensively farmed pigs. Give it a try and taste the difference! Raising pigs free-range on open pastures is an extremely cost-intensive operation that makes free-range pork more expensive compared to conventional pork products.
