The cider vinegar used in this marinade brings a bright sour flavor to the pork even as it tenderizes this great source of lean protein. Caraway is known for aiding digestion, detoxification, and nourishing the respiratory system. Both vinegar and caraway help stimulate release of what winter has left behind.
