These are not just the feet of the pig but are a treasure trove of flavour and texture, often overlooked in contemporary kitchens. Historically common in British, European and Asian cuisines, trotters are making a bit of a comeback among those who appreciate nose-to-tail eating and seek to minimise waste.
Trotters are collagen-rich, and when cooked slowly, they release this natural gelatine, lending body and richness to broths and stews. This attribute is highly prized by chefs for its ability to add depth to a range of dishes. Plus, the meat itself, though scant, is tender and flavourful.

Pork trotters are rich in protein, vitamins like B12, and minerals like zinc and iron. They’re also an excellent source of collagen, which is good for skin, hair, and joint health. However, they’re rather high in fat, so if you’re on a low-fat diet, you might want to enjoy them in moderation.
Preparation: Before cooking, the trotters are usually cleaned, hair removed, and often blanched to remove any impurities.
Cooking Methods: Boiling, braising, and slow-cooking are the go-to methods. They need time to break down the collagen and tenderise the meat, often several hours.
Flavour Partners: Trotters pair well with robust herbs and spices like rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves, as well as garlic and onions.
Applications: You can use them to enrich soups, make traditional dishes like ‘trotter gear’, or even pickle them if you’re feeling adventurous.
Keto & Paleo: Given their high collagen and fat content, trotters can fit well into a ketogenic or paleolithic diet.
Gluten-Free: They are naturally gluten-free but do check any accompanying sauces or broths.
Not suitable for vegetarian or vegan diets, for obvious reasons.
In a culinary landscape where provenance matters more than ever, pork trotters offer not just depth of flavour but also a sustainable choice for conscientious cooks. If you’re someone who relishes the challenge of cooking with less commonly used cuts and appreciates the joys of traditional food, trotters may well deserve a spot in your kitchen.

Karwai Li (verified owner) –
Quality was great and the price was very reasonable. However I asked to have it cut into smaller pieces as I didn’t have the tools to cut it but they didn’t.

Good sized trotters. Very little hair left on. It is practically impossible to get these if you live in a small town so it is great to get such high quality supplies delivered to your door.
