These seemed popular with some of the OzBargain keto crowd last time and they rarely go on sale.

I tried some last sale and they are pretty tasty but the ingredients aren't suitable for those that prefer "clean keto", and definitely not suitable for carnivores.

Pork Rind, Vegetable Oil, Salt, Hydrolysed Soy Protein, Tapioca Starch, Yeast Extract, Flavour Enhancer (621), Anticaking Agent (504, 551, 341), Food Acid (262), Colour (150c), Herbs And Spices, Vegetable Powder, Flavour.

Edit- it's probably worth mentioning that these are $30.00/kg. I make home-made rinds with pig skin from Coles for ~$6.00/kg, it's usually less than that though as I try to only buy the skin when it's on clearance the day before "best before".

    I bought some of these the last time and, with confident, I can warn people to STAY AWAY from this product: TOO ADDICTIVE!

    Don't mix these with alcohol: Weight gain guaranteed!

    My go to snack, these are so good. The dog watches me intently when I eat these though.

  • franco cozzo on 03/07/2019 - 13:43

      Do any of the ingredients contain the word vegetable? if so, then Yes.

        …wafting them 4-6 inches in front of your face and just breathing in the aroma also works

    • ozfool on 03/07/2019 - 14:34

      Depends how you define healthy

      They're a good source of protein, especially collagen

      Salt and fat aren't as bad for you as once believed

      As long as you say keto, gluten free etc

  • AnotherRat on 03/07/2019 - 13:55

    With reference to where you say, "I make home-made rinds with pig skin". Do they end up puffy like these bought ones or more just like regular pork crackling?

    • mapax on 03/07/2019 - 14:01
      +1

      The ones I make are very similar to regular pork crackling, they are slightly puffier than when cooking a pork roast but nothing like these krackles.

      • Jazza2400 on 03/07/2019 - 15:53

        I tried last weekend but didn't cut the fat off the skin. Didn't like cooking them in lard either. How do you separate the fat from skin and what do you cook it in?

        I like this but they have 12 ingredients. I prefer the snack ones from IGA with 3 ingredients but they are 50% dearer :(

        • squash on 04/07/2019 - 10:23

          google how to make Chicharrón, basically you boil the skin and fat, then cool and scrape the fat off with like a spoon. then air dry for ages, then deep fry in whatever.

    • Bargainbeth on 03/07/2019 - 14:49

      I'm thinking of making these like the packet ones now, from that comments. Probably just need to grind down the pork skin to mush then add flour, seasoning and fry em. Using the ingredients of these krackles as a guide would be good.

        Check this out first - https://youtu.be/LzlGlQlY5u0

        It's quite a lengthy process.

        • Bargainbeth on 03/07/2019 - 15:08

          Thanks. I watched another video where it said to dry in sun for 3 days. 10hrs in oven is more hygienic and actually easier, but yeah- lengthy.

          I have a feeling they'll be denser like the fresh pork crackles though- I like mine airier and lighter. Perhaps it's the hydrolysed soy protein or tapioca starch that does this.

  • ChickenTalon on 03/07/2019 - 14:14

    Before you rent a trailer and head to woolies, make sure someone hasn't already been there first! Can be disappointing to find they're often sold out during any kind of sale. These are so so good.

    I make a great (if I do say so myself) dip using; Sour Cream, minced garlic fried for 60sec in Duck fat, Chicken Bouillon Powder and Chives. Amazing combination with the Krackles.

  • bajillionaire on 03/07/2019 - 14:17

    These are quite puffy and delicious, but keep a look out at Asian grocers as well. Many of them sell tubs of pork crackling for pretty cheap, around $5 for about 350gm or more. These rinds are not as puffy, more like your traditional crackling, but still very tasty and addictive.

  • BeRad on 03/07/2019 - 14:19

    Excellent with dip!

  • mec on 03/07/2019 - 14:25

    My biggest mistake this year was to scoff these down without any source of liquids around

  • Immer besser on 03/07/2019 - 14:27

    Why are these bad for clean keto?

    • ozfool on 03/07/2019 - 14:36

      Depends how you define it, but maybe the additives. Pork skin is fundamentally a good, real food.

      • mapax on 03/07/2019 - 14:47

        Yeah, it depends on how one defines clean. My understanding is that some people that are on keto for health (rather than just weight loss) won't eat unknown vegetable oils, soy, and alot of the other additives. Some hardcore types would also question the origins of the pork too.

  • Yanoflies on 03/07/2019 - 14:28

    These are a great source of protein!

    Perfect high-protein snack.

    • ChickenTalon on 03/07/2019 - 14:36

      Just remember they're not a complete source of protein, best be eating other meat too.

    • CircularIllusion on 03/07/2019 - 15:46

      I'm not a health expert or anything but from a basic Google search the type of protein you get from this snack is mostly discarded by your body as it can't be used.

      • [Deactivated] on 03/07/2019 - 15:56

        you're a Google expert

      • ozfool on 03/07/2019 - 16:56

        There's no way that's true. The proteins in this snack are absolutely used in the body. It's high in glycine and not "complete", but that doesn't mean it's not good for you or absorbed properly.

  • sevendollarsfifty on 03/07/2019 - 14:32

  • SoresuMakashi on 03/07/2019 - 15:18

    I'm guessing you can't really make it yourself for $6/kg as the rind loses significant water content in the process?

    • mapax on 03/07/2019 - 15:38

      No, but I make it with pig skin that I buy from Coles for ~$6.00/kg.
      If I had kitchen scales I would weigh the next batch before and after, but I don't have any.

      • booboo on 04/07/2019 - 00:57

    These are absolutely wonderful but it is almost guaranteed a sore throat after with all that sodium.

    • mapax on 03/07/2019 - 15:50

      What's the sore throat after sodium thing? Is that common?

      • cainn on 04/07/2019 - 03:44

        Never heard of it, and it's never happened to me. Maybe it's a thing but it doesn't seem common, and certainly not universal.

  • victinini on 03/07/2019 - 16:44

    Hi OP, I’v never seen pig skin by itself for sale at Coles. What do they look like? And what recipe do you use to make them?

      https://shop.coles.com.au/a/a-national/product/coles-pork-cr…
      I don't have my recipe nearby but from memory it's basically -
      Remove excess fat, but I only remove it if it's more than 4 or 5mm tick,
      Score skin
      Tip boiling water over skin
      Dry skin
      Salt skin
      Refrigerate overnight
      Pin skin to oven rake to stop it curling
      Bake skin
