For many years the pork scratching has been chosen off the back of pub shelves as a high fat and salt snack to accompany a well deserved pint. However, times are changing and so is the pork scratching.
Thanks to musclefood.com, great name, it will now become a must have food for regular athletes and gym goers.
What muscle food claim is that the snack will have the same pork scratching taste but will now be low in fat and salt, but high in protein!
Made from chunks of prime pork rind, it will contain 70% pure protein in each bag, that’s 24g of protein in a 35g bag.
As well as having 47% less fat than the traditional treat, almost half of pork rind is made up of unsaturated fat, most of which is oleic acid which is the same healthy fat found in olive oil.
One reviewer said: “Thought I’d give these a crack… have memories of biting into pork scratchings in the past and finding them cold and fatty, so didn’t expect much from these as I don’t like pork scratchings in general.
“However, these really are in a class of their own, they are so light and clean they are almost like puffed crisps. The flavour is also really enjoyable and definitely worth buying again.”
Customer Dan R said: “Very tasty and as close to the real thing as you can get. I really enjoyed these high protein pork scratchings and will be buying them again. The only problem is that it is very hard not to eat the whole lot in one go.”
