CANutrition Tip: Lean pork is nutrient-rich meat. Pork cuts are now up to 16% leaner than they were 20 years ago. Pork is very high in protein, It also packs in lots of potassium, riboflavin and zinc, and is an excellent source of vitamin B6, thiamin, phosphorus and niacin. Pork is naturally low in sodium, too. This recipe combines lean pork with lots of colourful and crunchy vegetables.
