Typically you don't eat the rind on this kind of cheese.
- vfclists 4y agotry me!! What if it gets fed to some pet or farm animal?
- moistly 4y agoI suppose they might be mistaken for fine Parmesan cheese. Otherwise they’ll be fine. Have you not noticed what your dog will happily eat off the ground when you’re out for a walk? Discarded socks, gravel, bits of plastic, cat shit, gum wrappers, literally anything that catches its eye when you’re not paying close attention.
- pessimizer 4y agoThat's why I feed my dog rusty staples.
- burnished 4y agoOh that took me back to wrestling a cigarette butt out of a baby pugs eager little mouth. Honestly if that dog had taken to eating tiny electronics it probably would have been a net improvement.
- moistly 4y agoI’ve a friend with a young dog that she swears has pica. It’s proving nigh impossible to prevent it from hoovering up litter. It puts goats’ reputation to shame.

- RBerenguel 4y agoIt's usually used for soup stock, though.
- justin66 4y agoI was thinking the same thing. I never had great results with this, but it's certainly a traditional thing to throw the rind in water used for rice, etc. as well.
- AdmiralAsshat 4y agoProbably depends on what kind of soup you're throwing it into. But yes, parmesan rinds are great for adding a bit of savory/umami/"funk" into your soups and stews. I keep a bag of them in the freezer and grab a few whenever I'm simmering something savory or meaty. Unused parsley or cilantro stems work well, too, as a soup toss-in. Not sure if it would work well with rice. I tend to use bay leaves, star anise, or even ginger peels/skins for rice. All of those are more aromatic.

- bigmattystyles 4y agoI love parmesan rinds - it never occurred to me they might be dangerous.
- lupire 4y agoNone of those are eating the rind. They are putting the wine in broth for seasoning.
- atdrummond 4y agoAdding it to risotto isn’t eating it? What are you doing with YOUR risotto?!
- Broken_Hippo 4y agoIn general, the rind is put into food and removed before eating. Kind of like you are making the liquid into a sort of cheese tea... or the way you would season something with a sprig of rosemary, a cinnamon stick, or other spices that you remove before eating.
- scrumbledober 4y agoI wouldn't really want to make tea with tea leaves that have microchips in them
- KennyBlanken 4y ago> Plop the rinds into your next tomato sauce, ragù, or soup and let it simmer. Remove whatever is left of the rind just before serving. > Make your risotto even richer with the addition of the rinds! Put the rinds in the risotto after it's halfway done cooking. Let everything simmer as you stir and add more broth. Remove the rinds before serving.
- cunidev 4y agoItalian here - that's no excuse for compromising food safety, also from a legal perspective. I might be wrong, but as rind is part of the cheese itself, you can't just embed random electronics in it (unless you apply it e.g. as an external, removable seal)
- Malician 4y agoI prize the rind for throwing in ragu to melt down
- giomasce 4y agoYes, you do. At least, I do, and if you don't I'll be happy to eat yours too. I love Parmigiano. It's not really the reason why I ended up living in Parma, but it's a great coincidence nonetheless.

- cranekam 4y agoYou’re typically missing out if you don’t. The rind is delicious!
