About Lechon skin
Lechon skin, a crispy delicacy in Filipino cuisine, is the golden-brown, roasted outer layer of a whole pig cooked to perfection. This culinary staple is known for its irresistible crunch and savory flavor, achieved by slow-roasting the meat until the skin reaches its crackling texture. Lechon skin is rich in flavor but also high in fat and calories, primarily due to its fat content and the preparation method, which often involves oil or fat seasoning. While it provides protein from the underlying meat, its high saturated fat content makes it a treat best enjoyed in moderation. Originating from the Philippines, lechon is a staple in festive gatherings, embodying celebratory and communal dining. For health-conscious eaters, pairing lechon skin with lighter sides, such as fresh vegetables, can balance its indulgent nature.
