Sorry guys, didn't mean to be mysterious.  Pork sirloin is on sale regularly for $2/ lb... why so cheap?  Then I learned you can make Canadian bacon by pickling pork sirloin. I like Canadian bacon....to the persons saying nitrate isn't good for me, as I get it nitrate is to prevent botulism.. which is pretty bad too... I'm open to alternatives...

I use kosher salt for pickling, curing and fermenting.    Works great.

Now that interests me, I've been avoiding cured meats for awhile now because of the nitrites/nitrates, even tho it's still in there, (from celery).

I'll have to look into it, Thanks,

You need Prague powder / instacure to prevent botulism.  The powder is actually 15-1 table salt to sodium nitrite with pink dye added for identification only.  It just makes it easier to measure the sodium nitrite because you need so little.

Yes nitrites are in vegetables,etc., studies on nitrites go both ways and some early studies results rebuked....
But Nitrites form nitrosamines
Look up nitrosamines and their effects....wiki,world cancer research fund,etc.
Found in tobacco and formed from nitrites consumed, or heated and consumed.
Not preaching, but being cautious......... we all know well cancer is a fucker
