Is ground pork healthier than ground beef?
It really all just depends on the fat content in the meats. You’re going to want to look at fat content versus the amount of sodium and other levels to decide if it’s a healthier option for you.

It’s not. Sausage is going to have seasonings and other ingredients added and ground pork is literally just pork that has been ground up, without anything added. You can easily turn ground pork INTO sausage, though.
What cut of pork is best for ground pork?
Pork butt actually makes for great ground pork because it tends to have a good amount of fat.

Is pork mince the same as ground pork?
Basically, yes. Pork mince is finely chopped or ground pork, which would put it in the same category.
How long does ground pork last in the fridge?
If you’re going to keep it in the fridge, you need to have it cooked up within 1-2 days for freshness. Any longer than that and you’re going to want to throw it into your freezer to save for later.
