About Pork ears
Pork ears are a traditional delicacy enjoyed in various cuisines worldwide, particularly in Chinese, Filipino, and European dishes. Made primarily of cartilage and skin, they are rich in protein and collagen, which may support skin, joint, and hair health. Typically served boiled, braised, grilled, or fried, their chewy texture and savory flavor make them a versatile ingredient in soups, salads, and appetizers. Pork ears are high in fat, so portion control is key, especially for those watching calorie intake. They are also a good source of essential minerals such as iron, zinc, and magnesium. However, some preparations, like deep-frying or adding heavy seasonings, can increase sodium and unhealthy fat levels, which may not align with certain dietary goals. When enjoyed in moderation and prepared healthily, pork ears can be a unique addition to a balanced diet.
