Good to know: COOKING CONCENTRATION: Raw pork belly purine content is ~150-180 mg/100g. Bacon loses approximately 40% of its weight during cooking (water and fat render out), concentrating purines in the remaining mass to ~428 mg/100g cooked weight. This is the correct value for cooked, drained bacon. Portion size (typically 15-30g, 2-3 rashers) limits total purine intake per serving.
