About Pig skin
Pig skin, commonly known as pork rind or crackling, is derived from the outer layer of pig, typically cooked or fried to achieve a crispy texture. Popular in cuisines around the world, including American, Latin American, and Asian, pig skin is often enjoyed as a snack or topping for dishes. Nutritionally, it is high in protein and collagen, which may support skin and joint health. However, it is also dense in fat, especially if fried, contributing to high calorie content and levels of saturated fat that should be consumed in moderation. Pig skin is considered a low-carb food, making it a favorite among keto and paleo diets. While it provides some essential minerals like zinc and iron, balanced consumption is key to enjoying its benefits without overindulging in its potentially unhealthy aspects.
