In our daily life, we often eat mutton, such as fried mutton and instant-boiled mutton, but many people will ask, what is the difference between some dishes made of goat meat in restaurants, such as "stewed goat meat in Montenegro" and "braised goat meat in brown sauce"? In terms of taste, mutton is more delicious than goat mutton, because goat mutton contains a fatty acid called 4- methyl octanoic acid, which will produce a special smell after volatilization. However, in terms of nutrients, goat meat is not lower than mutton. In contrast, the fat content of mutton is higher than that of goat mutton, which is why mutton tastes more delicate and delicious. An important feature of goat meat is that its cholesterol content is lower than that of mutton. Therefore, it can prevent arteriosclerosis and heart disease, and is especially suitable for patients with hyperlipidemia and the elderly. There is another big difference between goat meat and mutton, that is, according to Chinese medicine, goat meat is cool and mutton is hot. Therefore, the latter has a nourishing effect and is suitable for lying-in women and patients. The former is best for patients to eat less, and ordinary people should avoid eating after eating. It is best not to eat cold food and fruit. When buying meat, there are several ways to distinguish sheep meat from goat meat: 1. Look at the muscles. Mutton sticks to hands, goat diverges, but does not stick to hands. 2. Look at the hair shape on the meat. Sheep's hair is curly and goat's mutton is hard and straight. 3. Look at muscle fiber, sheep fiber is short, goat fiber is thick and long. 4. Look at the ribs. Sheep's ribs are narrow and short, while goats' ribs are wide and long. In terms of eating method, goat meat is more suitable for stew and kebab. Because goat mutton has low cholesterol and fat content, many health foods have been developed with it.
