Tasty Pork Clouds
12.18.17
Products show up on my doorstep for me to try and test out and I only write about the ones that I like and think you might like, too. When Bacon’s Heir’s sent me Pork Clouds, aka Chicharonnes I was so skeptical. I didn’t think this snack food would be something that I would like. I was wrong. They tasted great, and I love that they’re high in protein and low in carbs. Almost an alternative to beef jerky. Currently, they are not in stores in OC, but you can find them in LA and online at baconsheir.com.
Pork Clouds are cooked in olive oil, only 100 calories per bag and a great source of protein. All flavors are gluten-free and free of added hormones, which makes these the perfect guilt-free snack. They are paleo and keto friendly, too.
Pork Clouds take fresh pork skin, melt off the fat, cure the skin in salt, and rapidly puff it in olive oil. The six flavors include Rosemary & Sea Salt, Garlic-Thyme, Malabar Black Pepper, Szechuan Garlic, Habanero Peppers and Cinnamon Ceylon. They also make Pork Panko, an alternative to panko breadcrumbs. You can replace breadcrumbs one to one to replace empty carbs with collagen protein.
