How come on every bag of pork rhines/rinds, it says with an asterisk *not a significant source of protein
Yet a serving of pork skins is 6g fat, 7g protein.... ?
Somewhat related note:
I found fried pork skins in the español aisle at the store.... they're ingredients are "Pork skins". That's it... and they aren't even cut down, they are huuuuuuuuuuuuge. It comes with a little packet of hot sauce. Then I realized.... a few drops of your favorite hot sauce goes awesome on unflavored pork skins.

Shop-rite. I've never heard of safeway or albertsons, but i'm guessing they are typical supermarkets like shop rite. I am ALWAYS exploring supermarkets for hidden gems like this. It was cheap too... HUGE bag.
They taste.... pretty flavorless actually. The really big skins that got curled up are a little overly crunchy and brittle. I just slam my fist down on a big skin to break it up, then snack on it like chips.
Despite common belief, considering the size of pork rhines vs calories... they're a fairly low calorie snack considering they're mostly fat.I've gained and lost over 100lbs more times than any man alive should. Do as I say and not as I do.

Pork rinds a gem, hardely..... there not hard to find, i think everyones heard of them. They are delicious though and are a great source of fat/protein when your on keto. If you can, try splenda and cinninmon on the plain ones, i swear they taste like french toast or the likes mmmmmm

If I had to guess one of two possible things:
1. The pork skin may not contain a full string of amino acids like the pork meat itself.
2. The fat to protein ratio is so high, it's to keep people from eating a truckload of them as a protein source. Assuming you have a balanced diet though, I would think this concern wouldn't apply for one meal a day.
Those are just my two guesses.

Oddly enough, even incomplete proteins are good for something. The mroe recent research shoes that incomplete chains of protein do not have to be eaten simultaneously to form a full one.
IE you can have some beans now, and some rice later, and it will form a complete protein. This is probably why most vegetarians even survive lol.
I wonder what I'd need to eat alongside porkrhines?
I'd imagine the frying and puffing process does a number on the protein.I've gained and lost over 100lbs more times than any man alive should. Do as I say and not as I do.

*bows down to Skelooth* Skel, you are a god...send.
Pork rinds are awesome. Not gonna be a whole meal, but perfect if I'm thinking about cheating on keto.
Thanks!
oh, BTW the brand I got was "Mission". They had it preflavored, nice n spicy. The way I like it! :-D
Thanks again for telling us of it!

[Collagen]
The type of protein in pork skins is called collagen, the same substance found in hair, fingernails, and horsehooves. Its bio-availability is almost non-existent, hence the statement on the package. People in survival situations (the Donner party, etc.) have attempted to use leather as a food source, with unfortunate results. ~AIC

However the proteins in pork rinds are not used by the human body. This is the reason the packages are labled not a significant source of protien." And eating pork rinds to get protien, only results in the protiens going unused and being converted to sugars and stored as fat by the body

Bummer, that sucks.
So if it's true and it turns into sugar (aka carbs) would you get kicked out of ketosis?
It doesn't really make sense though. It would seem that the rules are different while you're in ketosis... right?"To win any battle, you must fight as if you were already dead." - Miyamoto Musashi

Ok dudes, so this stuff about protein from pork skins (or rinds) not being digestible or not used by the human body is bogus information. That's just a misinterpretation of the truth, which is: pork skin mostly contains gelatin which is an "incomplete protein." Complete proteins are food items which provide the essential amino acids in a specific ration known to be optimal for human digestion. Amino acid scoring is based on something called PDCAAS (which is based on egg as the standard, but I'm digressing here). So, pork rinds do in fact provide protein, just not the best ratio. Is it beneficial in it's own way? Yes, it is. As long as you get the missing amino acids from other food items you're in the clear, just don't make it your sole source of protein, and don't treat it like you would a post-workout protein where you want high BCAAs and other essential aminos.
"Although gelatin is 98-99% protein by dry weight, it has less nutritional value than many other complete protein sources. Gelatin is unusually high in the non-essential amino acids glycine and proline (i.e., those produced by the human body), while lacking certain essential amino acids (i.e., those not produced by the human body). It contains no tryptophan and is deficient in isoleucine, threonine, and methionine." (Wiki - Gelatin - Medical and nutritional properties)
Many collagen and gelatin based protein formulas will often enrich the formulation with the most limiting amino acid, which is L-tryptophan. Medical grade protein supplements such as Prostat add this to provide a more desirable amino acid ratio.
