Fried pork rinds, also known as chicharrones, are a crispy snack made from the fried skin of pigs. Popular in cuisines worldwide, particularly in Latin America, the southern United States, and parts of Asia, they are prized for their crunchy texture and savory flavor. Typically prepared by frying pork skin until it puffs and crisps, they are often seasoned with salt, spices, or various flavorings. Nutritionally, pork rinds are high in protein and contain no carbohydrates, making them a popular choice for low-carb and ketogenic diets. However, they are also high in saturated fat and sodium, which can be a concern if consumed in large quantities. While offering a satisfying crunch, they should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
