Introduction: The pork nose is the upper half of the pig’s mouth with nostrils. It extends up to the area near the eyes and has a cylindrical shape with a pointed tip. The part closer to the nostrils is relatively soft. It protrudes from the front of the pig’s body and has a distinct shape and structure, consisting of the skin layer, often with horizontal wrinkles. The pork nose has a unique flavor and is suitable for braising or marinating. Consuming pork nose in moderation can provide us with high-quality protein and essential fatty acids. It contains abundant collagen, an important protein found in connective tissues. The pork nose also contains various vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B12, iron, zinc, which play crucial roles in maintaining normal bodily functions. Not fresh pork nose may appear dry, lack shine, and may even have spots or loss of moisture.
