Pork Skin
Pork Skin is the raw skin of pig commonly used in cuisines worldwide to make cracklings, chicharrón or added for extra crispiness and texture in dishes. It is rich in protein, providing about 27g of protein per 100g, and contains a lot of connective tissue (collagen) that can gelatinize during slow cooking. Nutrition-wise, it is also high in fat — including saturated fat — and contains little to no fiber or carbohydrate, so it delivers concentrated energy and satiety. While it can add appealing texture and flavor, it provides relatively few vitamins or fiber compared with plant-based foods; it does supply some minerals and fatty acids typical of pork.
