Are potato chips more healthier than pork rinds? And how much would a bag of pork rinds cost?

Question

I am just curious.

Answer 1

From the ever-bubbling fount of knowledge, also known as Wikipedia:

"There is some interest in pork rinds as a healthy snack food due to the Atkins diet, since pork rinds contain no carbohydrates (unless flavored). They are, however, high in fat and sodium, and generally may be considered more delicious than healthy to those who enjoy them. In fact, the fat content of pork rinds is similar to that of potato chips, and the amount of sodium in a serving of pork rinds is nearly five times of that within a serving of potato chips. For example, a 14 gram serving of Utz Regular Pork Rinds contains 5 g of fat and 230 mg of sodium, whereas the same serving of Utz Regular Potato Chips contains 4.5 g of fat and 47 mg of sodium. Pork rinds generally contain 8 g of protein in a 14 g serving, more than any food except dried meats such as jerky. The fat content of jerky, however, is much lower. Microwaveable pork rinds are lower in fat than the deep-fried variety, with only 2 g of fat per 14 g serving and no saturated fat, although the sodium level may be as high as 350 mg per serving. The high protein content of pork rinds makes them more nutritious than some low-fat snack foods, such as fat-free pretzels."

There you have it. And around here, pork rinds go anywhere from 99 cents for a small bag to about $3.00 for a large size.

Answer 3

Chips are healthier when reading the label... pork rinds may be a little better as they are pork skin, fried in pork fat. A bag would run about 99cents to $1.75 Everything is healthy when you consume in moderation, that's where we as a nation are failing.

Answer 4

Actually, neither one are healthy....The only difference is that pork rhinds contain less calories and maybe a little less fattening......but both are really no good for you health wise.
As for the price of Pork rhinds.........a 12 oz bag will probably be about $2.25

I just went to see "Paranormal Activity" and loaded my popcorn with Cheddar Cheese. It was so good, I also drank 64 ounces of Diet Pepsi (not kidding) due to the salt overload. Cheddar Popcorn
