Strawberry Shortcake Pork Rinds - 3 oz
Strawberry Shortcake Pork Rinds pull off a trick most keto snacks can't: real sweet-and-tart flavor with almost no carbs to pay for it. Pork King Good renders these rinds in its own pork fat at the 74-year-old Cudahy, Wisconsin facility it now owns outright, then dusts them with a beet-powder-blushed strawberry shortcake coating instead of leaning on artificial dyes.
- A melt-in-your-mouth crunch built for anyone who misses dessert-flavored snacking without the sugar crash — sweet, a little tart, distinctly berry.
- Cooked in the company's own rendered pig fat rather than a generic frying oil, then finished with red beet powder for color instead of an artificial dye.
- Keto-friendly, gluten-free, and made by the only woman-owned pork rind manufacturer in the country.
She's sweet, she's salty, and she's serving full snack drama. Strawberry Shortcake Pork Rinds bring dessert-flavored crunch to the low-carb aisle — a little tart, a little sweet, and unmistakably pork rind underneath.
Each 3 oz bag of these keto pork rinds is fried and puffed at Pork King Good's Cudahy, Wisconsin facility, the 74-year-old pork rind manufacturer the brand acquired outright in 2022 after years as one of its biggest flavor-innovation accounts. The rinds are made from American-raised pork and cooked in the company's own rendered pork fat, then coated in sugar, brown sugar, red beet powder (for that berry blush, no artificial dye needed), and natural flavors.
At 80 calories and 1g carbs per serving, this low-carb snack is built for people tracking macros who still want something that tastes like a dessert. It plays well straight from the bag alongside a keto snack board, or served with Greek yogurt for a low-carb take on strawberry shortcake.
Keto-friendly, paleo-friendly, gluten-free, and contains no MSG — made by the only woman-owned pork rind manufacturing business in the United States. Store in a cool, dry pantry away from direct sunlight to keep every bite crisp.
Ingredients: Pork Rinds (Cooked In Pork Fat), Sugar, Brown Sugar, Red Beet Powder, Natural Flavors, Citric Acid, Malic Acid, and Less Than 2% Silicon Dioxide Added to Prevent Caking.
Common Questions
How does the carb count on these compare to a typical fruit-flavored candy or chip snack?
A 3 oz bag of Strawberry Shortcake Pork Rinds runs about 80 calories and 1g net carbs per serving, with the carbs coming almost entirely from the sugar and brown sugar in the coating rather than the pork rind base itself, which is naturally carb-free. A comparable serving of a fruit chew or gummy candy typically lands closer to 130-150 calories and 30-34g of sugar, and a flavored potato chip serving usually carries 15g or more of starch-based carbohydrate. The difference comes down to base ingredient: pork rinds puff from collagen and fat, not starch, so there's no flour or potato solid to contribute bulk carbohydrate the way conventional snacks do.
What gives these their pink-red color and tart flavor, and is any of it artificial?
The color comes from red beet powder, a plant-derived pigment containing betalains, the same compound class that gives beets and some fruits their natural red-violet hue. The tartness comes from citric acid and malic acid, two naturally occurring fruit acids that also show up in citrus and apples respectively, and they're doing the job of mimicking strawberry tang without an artificial dye or flavor compound on the label. Less than 2% silicon dioxide is added as an anti-caking agent, which keeps the sugar coating from clumping in the bag but has no flavor or nutritional role. There's no red dye 40 or synthetic strawberry flavoring involved in producing the color or taste.
Do these fit into a keto or paleo eating plan?
Yes, at 1g net carbs and 80 calories per serving these fall well within standard keto macros, which typically cap daily net carbs around 20-50g, so a serving uses a small fraction of a daily allowance. On paleo, the ingredient list checks out because it's pork rendered fat, sugar, brown sugar, beet powder, and fruit acids, none of which involve grains, legumes, or dairy. Strict carnivore protocols that exclude any plant-derived ingredient would need to weigh the sugar and beet powder coating against their own rules, since those are plant-based additions layered onto an otherwise animal-based pork rind. For keto and paleo followers specifically, though, the macros and ingredient sourcing align with both frameworks as commonly defined.
What are some ways to use these beyond eating them straight from the bag?
A common approach is pairing them alongside a keto snack board with cheese and nuts, since the sweet-tart flavor contrasts well with savory items. They also work well as a topping over Greek yogurt, mimicking a low-carb strawberry shortcake parfait when layered with the yogurt and maybe a few fresh berries. The sugar-and-beet coating holds its crunch and color well when combined with cold, creamy bases like yogurt or a keto cheesecake, since the fat-fried pork base doesn't go soggy the way a starch-based chip would. These are best treated as a ready-to-eat component rather than something requiring further cooking.
How can I verify the Gluten-Free, Paleo, and No Artificial Ingredients claims on the label?
The ingredient list is short enough to check claim by claim: pork rinds, sugar, brown sugar, red beet powder, natural flavors, citric acid, malic acid, and under 2% silicon dioxide, none of which contain gluten-bearing grains, artificial dyes, or synthetic flavor compounds, which supports both the gluten-free and no-artificial-ingredients claims directly from the label itself. The Paleo and Keto Friendly designations are third-party style claims based on the absence of grains, legumes, and dairy, and the low net carb count respectively, both of which you can cross-check against the nutrition panel and ingredient list rather than taking on faith. Pork King Good publishes its full ingredient deck on packaging and its own site, so there's no proprietary blend or undisclosed flavoring hiding the sourcing of the color or tartness.
What does it mean that Pork King Good is woman-owned, and how does that connect to this product?
Pork King Good is recognized as the only woman-owned pork rind manufacturing business in the United States, a distinction tied to company ownership and operational control rather than just a marketing label. The company acquired its Milwaukee production facility outright in 2022, a plant with a 74-year manufacturing history, after years of working with it as one of its largest flavor-innovation accounts. That transition from customer to owner is what allows Pork King Good to control the full production process in-house, including the pork fat rendering and the sugar-and-beet coating process used on this specific flavor, rather than outsourcing formulation to a separate co-packer.
