Microwaved or baked pork rinds have less fat than the precooked bagged pork rinds in the store. ""Pork fat is not only useful, but it is also good for us," says my new hero, Jennifer McLagan. She's the author of the James Beard Award-winning "Fat: An Appreciation of a Misunderstood Ingredient". To back up her claim, McLagan's book includes a chart showing that 45 percent of pork fat is monounsaturated, which can help raise your HDL, or good cholesterol, and also can help lower your LDL, or bad cholesterol."
