Pork Knuckle
Pork Knuckle is a classic cut from the lower leg of a pig, often braised, roasted or slow-cooked in many Central European and Asian cuisines and known for its rich, gelatinous texture and crispy skin when roasted. It is a substantial source of animal protein, providing 18g of protein per 100g, and the collagen-rich connective tissue gives a silky mouthfeel after long cooking. Nutritionally it delivers high-quality amino acids and is filling, while also contributing B-vitamins and selenium that support energy metabolism and antioxidant defenses.
