Sunny123 5 Posted May 16, 2011 Ok .. Just wandering.. Are Pork rinds ok to eat for a snack ?? My son keeps telling me how bad they are for me!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiffykins 673 Posted May 16, 2011 They are typically high in sodium, but I ate pooploads of them because of the lack of carbs, and I ate the baked ones to avoid the "fat" from fried ones. I was not concerned about fat intake since I'm a firm believer we need some fat in our diets. I used them in all my recipes that called for breadcrumbs or other binders. I never counted the Protein in them whole-heartedly, but they sure beat the heck out of carb-ridden chips/pretzels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Becca 108 Posted May 16, 2011 I eat them a lot too. I love that they are crispy like chips but without the carbs. They have lots of Protein, so I don't feel bad about eating them at all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatBgone 6 Posted May 16, 2011 Do you find them at the store by the chips? ( I confess I've never had them) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ToDream 18 Posted May 16, 2011 You can make them into a sweet snack as well by sprinkling some cinnamon and splenda mixed together over them like you would popcorn seasoning. Yum! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snowfie9 6 Posted May 16, 2011 I used them in all my recipes that called for breadcrumbs or other binders. huh. I never thought of that. I wonder what they're like in meatloaf. I can't wait to try! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiffykins 673 Posted May 16, 2011 huh. I never thought of that. I wonder what they're like in meatloaf. I can't wait to try! In the recipe section here, I actually posted a pork rind meatloaf recipe. It was yummy, also I made salisbury steak with ground beef or ground turkey with Pork rinds as the binder, those were delicious. I used the barbque flavor for the meatloaf once, and it add some flavor to the meat, and I like the hot and spicy ones for just a snack with chunk cheese.

Nichelle 21 Posted May 17, 2011 OOOhhhh, I love Pork rinds. My sister was actually munching on some earlier when I stopped by to see my neice. I can't wait to have some now that I know they aren't the worst for me. Still in mushie phase, blah. Great ideas btw with the meatloaf and dessert idea. You can add a little crunch to anything with some pork rinds, sweet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
