Pink Himalayan & Sea Salt, pork rinds

Incomplete protein. Most of the protein here is collagen, which lacks tryptophan, one of the nine essential amino acids. High concentration doesn’t make it a complete protein the way whey, egg or soy is.

Research notes

Swapped in for 4505 Meats, whose site has no nutrition panel and only sells wholesale cases. Nutrition is from the brand's Nutrition Facts image (5 servings per 2.5 oz bag, so 20 per 4-pack). The label marks protein as 'not a significant source of protein' for %DV: pork-skin protein is mostly collagen, so it scores low on protein quality despite the high grams. Price is Amazon's current one-time price (no deal badge, no Typical price shown), the same as the brand site's regular price of $16.99. Amazon's rating may be shared across flavor and size variations. proteinSource is set to collagen so the site flags it as an incomplete protein.
