Am I crazy to order 20kg of pasture-raised pork rind to make healthy #chicharrón for Noa?? .

In Thailand deep-fried pork rind is popular but they are all fried in harmful vegetable oils. Pigs come most probably from commercial farms. We just got these skin pieces from a pasture-raised pork farm from Chiang Mai, which makes a huge difference in quality. I intend to remove as much fat as possible from the skin , which will be then dehydrated. The dry skin can be stored frozen and I want to fry them in coconut oil to replace it with polyunsaturated fat. Baking is also possible but I think frying it in coconut oil quickly would be better to minimize oxidation. The results will be low-pufa, collagen-rich snacks which taste yummy!
-
I remember reading an article from Dr Ray Peat that pigs who live in a cold climate tend to have more polyunsaturated fat under the skin to protect itself from the cold, so by giving them some pullovers, they will have less PUFAs! So I believe that pigs in Thailand already have lower fat % to start with.

I have no idea what the hell I am doing but so far they are getting tender, and I try not to touch nipples from the belly skin .

Happy 26th Birthday, Dani Rojas!

A better look at Dani and Dani:
The Amigos (and the Exterminador Supremo):
As you can see, Chicharrón doesn’t wear a funny hat for anyone’s birthday (unless it’s Chicharrón’s birthday, maybe).
And, yes, it’s the real QR code on K-9000’s collar! You can theoretically scan it.
Finally, here is the bonus “cover picture” I made for Instagram:
Thanks for coming to the party :D
