Pork Rinds

[collaroygal]

My local Costco had them one time. Now they just seem to stock UTZ pretzels. Bummer. I’m in Denver area. I use the generic ones at King Soopers, a div. of Kroger. Just port skins nothing else. Works for me.

That dog will be your best friend. As soon as I get a bag out of the pantry I have my pack gathered at me feet.

Now, if you’re able to locate some non-hydrogenated lard …

@richard posted somewhere else in another discussion of lard that the word “hydrogenated” w/regard to lard is not the same (and not nearly as bad was my take) as hydrogenated w/regard to seed oils. Maybe he’ll chime in again …
EDIT: and just saw @hedleylo’s post above. That was the gist.

Maybe the neighbors dog will like my remaining stash.

Please, no! Large amounts of fat ingested at once can kill a dog - pancreatitis.

That post is how I learned about Armour lard I think.

Everyone, please…this thread is about pork rinds, not lard, ok? I’m not trying to junior mod here or anything, I promise y’all. And I apologize for my part in this, apparently inadvertently setting off the whole hijack with my throw-away comment to my buddy. I regret that now. Y’all don’t know how much!

Please let’s stay on-topic here in this thread, ok? If y’all want to start a thread on lard, please do and I’ll join in with y’all for what I’m sure will be a very lively discussion. I’ve started looking for scientific cites already.

Candy, I had already read the thread Richard posted to. He didn’t quote any research in his response. So if y’all will start a lard thread we can ask him to share his cites with us over there.

Ok, thanks for letting me get that off my chest. Whew! I feel better now. And now back to our regularly-scheduled pork rinds discussion, already in progress…

Utz Amazon update. I noticed the pork rinds were sold out again this morning. After only a couple of days!

These were the higher-priced ones. It might be interesting, if anyone is a data hound, to track the changes in the pricing of those barrels compared to how quickly they sell out on Amazon. This is just for the ones sold by Utz, of course. Just an interesting thought…

[Baytowvin]

You can get them direct from Utz too. We don’t get much from the utz brand on the west coast so I used to buy their chips from their online store

Good to know…
Thx.

Yes, it is an ingredient in the spicy coating. The plain ones have none. To me, this is not a deal-breaker since there is less than one gram of carbs in the bag. This is one of my snacks and saves me from “less keto” temptations.

At Sams Club😉now

There aren’t enough “likes” in the world!!!

[miketo]

Some one mentioned this before so I went back to check and sure enough, Maltodextrin in my Hot and Spicy Pork Rinds…is nothing sacred?

[Untraceable]

I searched my Costco high and low the other day and couldn’t find any. Will have to check the regular grocery stores if my dream of Pork rind crusted Nashville Hot Chicken is going to occur

Flavored anything is usually trash. Try different spice additions and make your own flavors.

[Jenbird]

I am glad to know they are now at Sam’s I work less than 5 mins away from them so when I run out i will definitely get some there thanks!

[Jack_Brien]

Unfortunately they are really strongly flavoured! Taste ok, but no way I can use them as a crust for anything

[Jenbird]

That’s wonderful I have enough to last me a while

[Nebulous]

I think these are my new fav:

Watch the ingredients closely on the spicy pork rinds, a lot of them use sugars to bind the spices to the pork rinds.
