About Trotter

Trotter, commonly referred to as pig's feet, is a traditional delicacy enjoyed in cuisines worldwide, from European stews to Asian braised dishes. Rich in collagen, trotters are celebrated for their contribution to skin, joint, and bone health, as this protein supports elasticity and regeneration. They are high in protein but also contain significant amounts of fat, which can be a concern for those monitoring caloric intake or cholesterol levels. Slow cooking is a popular method for preparing trotters, allowing their connective tissues and cartilage to break down into a flavorful, gelatin-rich broth. Nutritionally, they offer essential minerals like iron, zinc, and selenium. While appreciated for their nutritious components, moderation is important to avoid excessive fat intake. Ideal for hearty dishes, trotters are a testament to the resourcefulness of traditional cooking, using all parts of the animal to create flavorful and nutrient-rich meals.
