About Pig trotters

Pig trotters, also known as pig’s feet, are a traditional delicacy in various cuisines worldwide, including Chinese, Korean, European, and Southern American cooking. These cuts are rich in collagen, which is known to support skin elasticity and joint health. Pig trotters are composed primarily of connective tissue, fat, and bone, offering a unique texture when braised, simmered, or stewed. Nutritionally, they are high in protein and essential amino acids, but they also contain significant amounts of saturated fat and cholesterol, making moderation key. While pig trotters can provide benefits for recovery and joint lubrication due to their collagen content, their calorie density may not align with some dietary goals. Popular dishes such as Chinese braised pig trotters or pickled pig’s feet highlight their versatility and deep, savory flavor. They are often enjoyed as a traditional comfort food or festive centerpiece in many cultures.
