About Schweinhaxen

Schweinhaxen, also known as roasted pork knuckle, is a hearty dish rooted in German and Austrian cuisine, often enjoyed at beer halls and Oktoberfest celebrations. This traditional comfort food features a large pork knuckle, typically seasoned with garlic, salt, pepper, and caraway seeds, then slow-roasted until the skin becomes crisp and the meat tender. While it's a rich source of protein and collagen, key for muscle repair and joint health, Schweinhaxen is also high in fat, particularly saturated fat, and calories, making it a less balanced choice for regular consumption. Often served with sides like sauerkraut or potato dumplings, its flavors are enhanced by simple, rustic accompaniments. Moderation is key to enjoying this indulgent dish while maintaining a balanced diet.
