Pork Hock, salted

Pork Hock, salted is a salted pork hock used in many European and Asian dishes for soups, stews and braises; it is prized for its rich, gelatinous texture and deep pork flavor from connective tissue and bone. It is a concentrated source of animal protein and collagen and supplies minerals and B vitamins such as selenium and thiamine, but it is high in sodium at 3.5g of salt per 100g.
