About Ham hock
Ham hock, also known as pork knuckle, is a flavorful cut of pork taken from the joint where the pig's foot meets the leg. It is typically cured, smoked, or cooked to enhance its taste and is widely used in southern U.S. cuisines, German dishes, and hearty soups and stews. Ham hock is rich in protein and provides essential vitamins and minerals like iron, zinc, and B vitamins. However, it is often high in sodium and fat due to curing and preparation methods, making it better suited for occasional indulgence rather than daily consumption. Its collagen and gelatin content, released during cooking, can add depth and richness to recipes. While ham hock offers nutritional benefits, individuals mindful of their sodium or fat intake should enjoy it in moderation and pair it with fresh or fiber-rich ingredients for a more balanced meal.
