Cinnamon ChurWHOA Pork Rinds - 3 oz

Forget the fryer, the dough, and the carb hangover — Cinnamon ChurWHOA is a keto-friendly, gluten-free pork rind snack that delivers the cinnamon-sugar crunch of a churro built on pork rind instead of fried dough.

Each 3 oz bag holds rinds cooked in pork fat and dusted with turbinado sugar, Saigon cinnamon, and salt — four ingredients, nothing else, made by Pork King Good at the Wisconsin facility (formerly The Porkie Company) the brand acquired in 2022 rather than sourcing rinds from an outside supplier.

Saigon cinnamon (Cinnamomum loureiroi) carries a notably higher cinnamaldehyde concentration than the common cassia sold in most grocery spice aisles, which is why a light dusting delivers a bolder cinnamon hit without needing more sugar to balance it.

Eat it straight from the bag as an afternoon snack, a post-workout protein hit with a dessert flavor, or the thing you reach for instead of an actual pastry when a sugar craving shows up on a low-carb day — with zero sugar alcohols or grain-based fillers, it fits keto, paleo, and carnivore-adjacent eating plans alike.

Gluten-free and paleo-suitable, from a woman-owned company that has never once claimed to finish a bag in more than one sitting. Store in a cool, dry pantry and reseal the bag between snacking sessions to hold the crunch.

Ingredients: Pork Rinds (Cooked in Pork Fat), Turbinado Sugar, Saigon Cinnamon, and Salt.

Common Questions

How does this compare nutritionally to an actual fried churro?
A traditional churro is wheat-flour dough deep-fried in vegetable oil, then rolled in cinnamon sugar, and a typical bakery-size piece runs 10-12 grams of carbohydrate with 5-6 grams of sugar baked into the dough itself. Cinnamon ChurWHOA starts from a pork rind cooked in pork fat, so there's no flour and no starch in the base at all — the only carbohydrate in the whole 3 oz bag comes from the light dusting of turbinado sugar on the outside, which amounts to a small fraction of what's mixed into fried dough. You get the same cinnamon-sugar flavor signal on the tongue without the flour-based carb load or the fry oil.

Why does Saigon cinnamon taste stronger than the cinnamon in most spice jars?
Saigon cinnamon (Cinnamomum loureiroi) is a cassia variety with a notably higher essential oil content, generally cited in the 4-6% range, compared to roughly 1-2% in the common cassia or Vietnamese blends sold in most grocery aisles. That oil is where cinnamaldehyde lives, the aromatic compound responsible for cinnamon's spicy-sweet bite, so a lighter dusting of Saigon cinnamon delivers a bolder hit than a heavier dose of standard cassia would. That's the mechanism behind why this bag can use a thin coating and still taste like dessert instead of needing extra sugar to compensate for a weak spice.

Does this fit into keto, paleo, or carnivore eating?
For keto, this works well: the rind itself carries zero starch-based carbs, and the only carbohydrate in the bag comes from the thin sugar dusting, which keeps total carbs per bag low enough to fit most daily keto macro targets even after the coating. For paleo, it also fits, since there's no grain, dairy, legume, or refined seed oil in the ingredient list, and turbinado sugar is a less-processed cane sugar rather than a chemical sweetener, though strict Whole30 followers who exclude all added sugar should skip it. For carnivore, the pork rind base qualifies, but the sugar and cinnamon are plant-derived, so someone running a zero-exception carnivore protocol would treat this as an occasional departure rather than a staple.

What can I pair this with beyond eating it straight from the bag?
Because the flavor profile mimics a churro without the fried dough, it works well set alongside things you'd normally pair with an actual churro: a cup of black coffee or espresso, a small side of whipped cream or dulce de leche for dipping, or a bowl of fresh berries for a low-carb take on a dessert plate. It also holds up on a dessert charcuterie board next to dark chocolate squares and nuts, where the cinnamon-sugar crunch reads as the sweet element without adding a flour-based item to the spread. Keep pieces whole for these pairings rather than breaking them down, since the shape and crunch are part of what makes the churro comparison work.

How can I verify the ingredient and certification claims on this bag?
The ingredient list is four items — pork rinds cooked in pork fat, turbinado sugar, Saigon cinnamon, and salt — so there's nothing to hide behind a longer label, and you can confirm gluten-free and paleo suitability just by reading it. The Gluten-Free, Paleo, Low Carb, and Keto Friendly claims on the package correspond to third-party or self-attested standards that specifically restrict grain, added starch, and high sugar content, all of which this recipe avoids by design. The rinds themselves are made at a Wisconsin facility Pork King Good acquired in 2022, formerly operated as The Porkie Company, rather than sourced from a third-party rind supplier, so the company controls the cooking process from raw pork skin through to the finished, seasoned product.

What does it mean that this is a woman-owned company?
Pork King Good is certified as a woman-owned business, which in the snack and jerky category is still a notable exception in an industry historically dominated by male-founded brands. That ownership structure doesn't change the ingredient list or the nutrition profile, but it does factor into sourcing decisions like the 2022 acquisition of the Wisconsin production facility, which gave the company direct control over how the base pork rind is cooked rather than relying on a co-packer. For buyers who specifically look to support women-owned food companies, this certification is verifiable through the same third-party woman-owned business certification bodies that audit small manufacturers generally.
