Pig's Snout

Pig's Snout is the snout of a pig commonly used in rustic and nose-to-tail cuisines for terrines, braises, head cheeses and traditional dishes across Europe, Latin America and Asia; it is prized for its gelatinous texture when slow-cooked. It is a concentrated source of animal protein, providing about 24g of protein per 100g, and is often used to add body and mouthfeel to stocks and jellied preparations. Nutrition-wise, pig's snout delivers substantial total fat with a notable portion of monounsaturated fats and small amounts of omega-3s and niacin, while contributing almost no carbohydrates or fiber. From a health perspective it can be very satiating and useful as a protein-rich ingredient, but it is also relatively high in saturated fat, so it’s best enjoyed in moderation or trimmed/paired with vegetables and whole grains to balance meals.Read more
