Pork rinds are made from pieces of cooked pork skin, that are then fried in a little oil until they "pop" like popcorn! and puff up nice and crispy! Then they're salted or sometimes another seasoning, such as barbecue flavour (beware, sometimes has sugar added) ... they're packaged .. and that's it. No artificial ingredients, no hydrogenated fat.

In fact, one ounce of pork rinds has less fat (9g) than an ounce of potato chips (11g). And ZERO carbs, unless the seasoning has starch or sugar in it.

There's another product, available in the US, called Pork Cracklin's .. these are made the exact same way, but the piece of pork skin is cut thicker, so they're more substantial and "meatier".

my trivia 2¢ for today
