Pork croquette is a crispy, golden-fried dish originating from European cuisine, with variations popular in France, Germany, and the Netherlands. A classic pork croquette features a savory filling made of minced or shredded pork, combined with seasonings, herbs, and often a creamy roux or mashed potatoes for texture. This mixture is shaped into a cylindrical or oval form, coated in breadcrumbs, and deep-fried until perfectly crisp. While pork croquettes are rich in protein from the pork, they are also calorie-dense due to the frying process and breadcrumb coating. They provide energy and some essential nutrients, such as iron and B vitamins, from the pork. However, their high fat and sodium content can make them a less healthy choice, especially when consumed frequently. For a lighter alternative, baking the croquettes or air-frying can reduce the fat content while retaining their delicious, crunchy exterior.
