Something you can make with pork tenderloins
Origin
Pork tenderloin is a cut of meat that comes from the muscle running along the backbone of a pig. It is one of the most tender and lean cuts of pork. The exact origin of pork tenderloins can be traced back to the domestication of pigs, which is believed to have occurred around 9,000 years ago in what is now modern-day China. From there, the consumption and cultivation of pork spread to other parts of Asia, Europe, and eventually to other parts of the world through trade and exploration. Today, pork tenderloins are widely produced and consumed in various cuisines globally.
