About
Pork belly is a fatty, boneless cut of pork that weighs about 8.1 ounces (230 g) per cup.
Pork belly has a typical density of 60.6 pounds per cubic foot (0.97 g/mL), making it slightly less dense than pure water. Because it consists of alternating layers of muscle tissue and pork fat, it is lighter by volume than leaner cuts of meat like loin or ham. A typical 1-pound (454 g) slab takes up roughly 2 cups (468 mL) of space. Its high concentration of adipose tissue keeps its overall volume closer to that of cooking fats than dense red meats.
