Pork cracklin’s are the snack of choice for low-carb dieters, because they’re high in protein and have zero carbohydrates. In Mexico, they are sold on the street in paper bags to soak up the grease. Ask your butcher for 1 inch of fat from the pork belly, trimming any visible pieces of meat. Pork rind is basically the fatty edges of bacon.
