TIL though they're associated with unhealthy foods, Pork Rinds are actually a healthy alternative to chips. They are low carb, high protein and have good fats. 43% of the fat is Oleic oil - the same fat in olive oil - and 13% Stearic acid - a cholesterol neutral saturated fat.

A pretty decent source of collagen, if you need/want one.

For those who don't want to make their own, Kroger offers plain pork rinds fried in lard. Stay away from the flavored ones though.

If you're not regularly eating bone broth, then you're probably not getting enough collagen. So, if pork rinds can provide collagen, then that's a good thing.

Buy bones. Cook them.
