About Pork trotter

Pork trotters, or pig's feet, are a traditional ingredient in many cuisines, including Chinese, Korean, German, and Southern American dishes. Known for their rich, gelatinous texture, they are a great source of collagen, which supports skin, joint, and bone health. Pork trotters are high in protein and contain essential minerals like calcium, zinc, and magnesium. However, they are also relatively high in fat, so moderation is key, especially for those monitoring fat or calorie intake. They are often slow-cooked in stews, braised with spices, or simmered in soups to extract their hearty flavor and nutrients. Popular in heritage cooking, pork trotters are lauded for their role in creating nutrient-dense broths. While they offer a variety of health benefits, they should be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet to manage their fat and sodium content, frequently influenced by preparation methods and seasonings.
