Pork skin, also known as pig skin or pork rind, is the outer layer of a pig that is prized for its versatility in cooking. It has a firm, slightly elastic texture when raw and transforms into a crispy, golden-brown treat when fried or roasted. Known for its rich, savory flavor, pork skin is a popular ingredient in cuisines worldwide, especially in snacks like pork cracklings or chicharrón. It is also used to make gelatin-rich broths and stocks, thanks to its high collagen content. This ingredient is a favorite among those seeking keto-friendly, low-carb snack options or looking to add texture and depth to their dishes.

Store fresh pork skin in the refrigerator, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or placed in an airtight container, and use it within 2-3 days. For longer storage, freeze it in a freezer-safe bag or container, ensuring all air is removed to prevent freezer burn. If cooked or fried, keep it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week to maintain crispness, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
