Contributed by: NAPSA The Secret, Healthy Life Of Pork Rinds (NAPSA) - If you think you know all there is to know about pork rinds, think again. They may be a much healthier food than you ever suspected. Consider the following:
A one-ounce serving of pork rinds contains zero carbohydrates, 17 grams of protein and 9 grams of fat. That's nine times the protein and less fat than a serving of potato chips. Even better, according to Men's Health, 43 percent of a pork rind's fat is unsaturated, and most of that is oleic acid-the same healthy fat found in olive oil. Another 13 percent of its fat content is stearic acid, a type of saturated fat that is not supposed to raise cholesterol levels. Pork rinds have also become a favorite of many people who have diabetes-again because they are low in fat and carbohydrates and have a glycemic index of 0. For example, here's a recipe that uses pork rinds as a coating for fish.
