Crispy pork skin, also known as pork rind, is a popular snack and culinary ingredient derived from roasted or fried pig skin. Originating from various cuisines around the world, including Latin American, Asian, and Southern U.S. cooking, it is celebrated for its crunchy texture and savory flavor. Pork skin is primarily composed of protein, fat, and collagen, making it a low-carb, high-protein snack favored in ketogenic and paleo diets. However, it is high in saturated fat and sodium, which can be a concern for heart health and blood pressure when consumed in excess. The collagen content may contribute to skin and joint health, offering potential benefits in moderation. Despite its appeal in certain diets, crispy pork skin is best enjoyed occasionally as part of a balanced lifestyle.
