About Cow skin
Cow skin, commonly known as "Ponmo" in West African cuisine, is a versatile ingredient prized for its unique texture and flavor. Derived from cowhide, it undergoes cleaning and processing to remove hair and tough layers, often smoked to enhance its aroma and taste. Nutritionally, cow skin is rich in collagen, which can support skin health and joint function. However, it is low in essential nutrients like protein and vitamins compared to lean meat options. While it contains minimal fat depending on preparation, its nutritional value largely depends on how it is cooked, as excessive oil or seasoning can reduce health benefits. Popular in Nigerian soups, stews, and snacks, cow skin offers a chewy, flavorful addition to traditional dishes but should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Its appeal lies in its affordability and ability to elevate the texture and richness of meals.
