Pork crackling chips are a crispy snack made from pork rind, often seasoned with salt and spices for added flavor. Originating from various cuisines, including British and Latin American, these chips are a common indulgence and a popular low-carb option for ketogenic and paleo diets. Made by frying or roasting the pork skin until it puffs and crisps, they are high in protein and free from carbs, making them appealing for those avoiding sugars or starches. However, they are also high in fat, particularly saturated fat, and sodium, which can be unhealthy in excessive amounts. These chips typically contain pork rind, oil, and seasonings, with some variations offering added spices or flavor coatings. While they do provide a quick source of protein, they should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet due to their calorie density and nutrient profile.
