Pork Large Intestine (Hog Casing)

Pork Large Intestine (Hog Casing) is the cleaned large intestine of a pig commonly used as a traditional natural sausage casing in many cuisines — especially in charcuterie and street-food sausages. It is prized for its snap and ability to hold fillings while cooking. As an animal-derived ingredient, Pork Large Intestine (Hog Casing) is a source of animal protein, providing about 14g of protein per 100g, and also contributes fat and bioavailable micronutrients such as vitamin B12 and selenium. It contains a mix of saturated and monounsaturated fats and is energy-dense compared with lean cuts. Nutritionally it delivers high-quality protein and important animal-sourced micronutrients, while most of its protective plant compounds (like polyphenols or carotenoids) are absent — so it’s best used as part of a balanced diet alongside vegetables and whole grains.
