About Pork belly skin
Pork belly skin is a flavorful, crispy layer found in the skin of the pork belly, often prepared by roasting or frying to achieve its signature crunch. This ingredient is a staple in various cuisines, including Chinese, Filipino, and Korean, where it is used in dishes like lechon, siu yuk, and bossam. Pork belly skin is high in protein and collagen, which supports skin and joint health, but it is also rich in fats, particularly saturated fats, making it calorie-dense. While it provides essential nutrients like phosphorus and zinc, moderation is key as excessive consumption may contribute to cholesterol buildup and heart health concerns. Its unique texture and taste make it an indulgent treat, often served on special occasions or paired with fresh vegetables to balance its richness in flavorful meals.
