Mmm, pork rinds
Posted on October 16, 2008 by LuAnn Farrar
What are these pork rinds or pork skins that are found in the potato chip aisle made of, really? Pork skins are what footballs are made of. You couldn’t possibly eat that.
Herald-Leader foodie Sharon Thompson said they really are made of pork skin, with the meat removed. It’s also dehydrated to make it crunchy. She has posted on her blog today a recipe for mofongo that uses 3/4 cup of pork rinds. The Frito-Lay product Baken-Ets Fried Pork Skins has two ingredients: pork skin and salt. They are 80 calories per serving, which is nine pieces.

My mother was a public school librarian. I earned a bachelor’s degree in music and a master’s degree in library and information science from the University of Kentucky. The Herald-Leader hired me as a news assistant 25 years ago; soon after, I moved to the news research department, where I’ve been ever since. We used to clip newspapers. Now, almost all of our research is online. We've come a long way.
why have a lot of grocers stopped selling the lays pork skins, — Walmart, military commisaries to name a few ??
