Quang Minh (theo Heathline) |

Here are 4 collagen-rich pork skin dishes recommended to boost skin health.

Braised pig's feet with Chinese herbs

Braised pig's feet with Chinese herbs is a traditional dish rich in nutrients and collagen. The skin and connective tissue in the pig's feet provide a large amount of natural collagen.

According to research from the Asian Journal of Nutrition, the collagen in this dish not only helps improve skin elasticity but also strengthens joints and hair. The Chinese herbs in the stew also add antioxidants, supporting skin cell regeneration.

Crispy pork skin (with salad)

Crispy pork skin is often used as a snack or ingredient in salads. Even though it is a dish cooked at high temperatures, pork skin still retains a significant amount of collagen.

According to the International Journal of Food Chemistry, the collagen in fried pork skin can be converted into gelatin, a more easily absorbed form of collagen.

When combined with green vegetables in salad, this dish provides additional fiber and vitamin C - an important factor that helps the body synthesize collagen more effectively.

Pork skin soup with vegetables

Pork skin soup with vegetables is an easy-to-make and nutritious dish. The gelatin layer in the pork skin helps provide a high amount of collagen, supporting skin cell regeneration and reducing dry skin.

According to research from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), this soup also provides water and essential electrolytes, helping the skin retain moisture and maintain its natural smoothness.

Vegetables like carrots, kale and onions also provide vitamin A and zinc, which aid in the skin beautification process.

Boiled pork skin with herbal dipping sauce

Boiled pork skin retains its collagen content and other nutrients. When combined with a dipping sauce made from herbs such as garlic, ginger, and lemon, the dish not only enhances the flavor but also adds anti-inflammatory properties and vitamin C. According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), vitamin C from lemon juice stimulates the body to absorb collagen more effectively, while also helping to reduce wrinkles and brighten the skin.

The importance of collagen from pig skin:

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), collagen from pig skin has a similar structure to natural collagen in the human body, making it easy to absorb and metabolize.

Supplementing collagen from food not only helps improve skin health but also supports connective tissue regeneration, keeps joints healthy and prevents aging.

Notes when using dishes made from pork skin:

Although pork skin is rich in collagen, it is necessary to limit processing with too much oil or spices, as this can increase calories and unhealthy fats.

Research from the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition also recommends that people with heart disease or high cholesterol should limit their intake of this dish to ensure overall health.
