So, what is pork skins?
Pork skins, also known as pork rinds, are a crispy snack made from the skin of a pig. The skin is first cooked in hot oil until it puffs up into a light and airy texture. It's then seasoned with various spices like salt, pepper, and paprika to provide a savory flavor. Pork skins are high in protein and contain zero carbs, making them a popular choice for those following a low-carb diet. They can be eaten alone as a snack or used as a crunchy topping for salads, soups, and stews.
