Tocino is a cured meat that is available in the Philippines. It is usually sweet and reddish (due to food coloring). I grew up not really getting enough of them because my mother was deathly afraid of preservatives which was used for making Tocino in the 80’s. So naturally, when I was big enough and in college, Tocino was one of my main staples for breakfast. Lol. It’s always great with fried rice and a sunny side up egg!
You dont have to be afraid though, this Tocino was prepared with my mother on my mind and is completely preservative free.
