About Fried pork skin

Fried pork skin, commonly known as pork rinds, is a snack made by frying or roasting the skin of a pig until it becomes crispy and puffed. Originating from various cuisines, including Southern American, Latin American, and Filipino, this crunchy treat is often enjoyed on its own or used as a topping for dishes. Nutrition-wise, fried pork skin is high in protein and contains minimal carbohydrates, making it popular among those following low-carb or ketogenic diets. It also provides small amounts of collagen, which contributes to skin and joint health. However, it is high in saturated fat and sodium, which may not be ideal for individuals monitoring heart health or blood pressure. While pork rinds can be a satisfying snack, moderation is key to enjoying them as part of a balanced diet.
