About Fried pork rind

Fried pork rinds, also known as chicharrones, are a popular snack made from pig skin that is seasoned and deep-fried or baked until crispy. Originating from various global cuisines, including Latin American, Southern U.S., and Spanish traditions, they are beloved for their crunchy texture and rich flavor. Pork rinds are high in protein and contain no carbohydrates, making them a favorite among those following low-carb or ketogenic diets. They also provide some essential nutrients like collagen and certain amino acids. However, they are calorie-dense and high in saturated fats and sodium, which can be unhealthy when consumed in excess. Moderation is key to enjoying this savory treat as part of a balanced diet.
