Pig feet, often referred to as trotters, are a flavorful ingredient prominent in cuisines ranging from Southern soul food to East Asian and European cooking. Rich in collagen and gelatin, they’re prized for their ability to add thickness to broths and stews. Nutritionally, pig feet are high in protein and contain essential amino acids due to their connective tissue, benefiting skin and joint health. While they’re low in carbohydrates, they are higher in fat, including saturated fat, which may not suit all dietary needs if consumed excessively. Pig feet are typically simmered, braised, or slow-cooked, allowing their tender texture to develop while releasing nutrients into the dish. Depending on preparation methods, they can be high in sodium, especially when cured or seasoned. Offering a unique taste and texture, pig feet remain a popular choice in traditional recipes for both their flavor and nutritional properties.
