About Pork, pig's feet

Pig’s feet are the feet of a pig, typically sold whole or split and containing skin, tendons, connective tissue, and bones. Raw portions are pale pink to reddish, while cooking can make the skin and connective tissue soft and gelatinous. The flavour is mild and savoury, and the texture depends strongly on how the feet are prepared.

They are commonly simmered or braised until tender, and may also be sold cleaned or cut into sections. This entry refers to unpickled pig’s feet without specifying whether they are raw or cooked. Skin, connective tissue, and bone make the edible portion different from a boneless meat cut.
