Identical nutrition to Cooked Beef. Pigs are a common mob in most biomes.

Cooked porkchop matches steak point for point, and pigs breed on carrots, potatoes or beetroot rather than wheat, which makes them the animal to farm if your fields are already growing vegetables. Cook the raw drops in a smoker and a small pen keeps a whole base fed.

Pigs breed on any root vegetable, so the same field that feeds you feeds them. Cooked porkchop matches beef on both hunger and saturation, which means the practical question is simply which animal is closest to your base rather than which food is better.
