What is a collagen casing for sausages?
Collagen casings are mainly produced from the collagen in beef or pig hides, and the bones and tendons. It can also be derived from poultry and fish. Collagen casings are less expensive to use, give better weight and size control, and are easier to run when compared to natural casings. They can also be used for those who do not like to eat or touch animal intestines. Additionally, they do not need to be soaked and can be stored outside the refrigerator, pretty much indefinitely.
