First of all, thank you very much for answering this question for you here. Let me lead you into this problem. Now let us discuss it together.

As for the question of which pig’s front legs or hind legs are better, I think it depends on where they are used and what kind of cooking they are going to do. The front feet and hind feet of pigs are different. If we decide what dish to cook, we can determine whether to use the pig's front feet or rear feet.

The front feet of pigs are rich in collagen protein and can be used to make braised pork trotters, braised pork trotters, cold pork trotters and other dishes. The tendons can also be processed into dried tendons, which can then be made into pickled tendons, dry-roasted tendons, etc. In Guizhou, braised pig's feet are very popular here, and the most famous one is Qingyan braised pig's feet, which has become a local gourmet business card.

Pork hind legs are rich in fat and protein. They can be made into Dongpo pork elbow, braised pork elbow, etc., and can also be used as stir-fried pork. In Guizhou, people like to stew pig hind legs in hot pot, the representative of which is pickled cabbage and leg hot pot.

I went to the market to buy some pig's feet. When I arrived, the merchant told me that pig's feet have front feet and back feet, so he asked me which one I should choose. So, is the front feet or the rear feet better? How to choose the front feet when buying pig's feet?

The front feet are relatively better.

Although it is difficult to tell the difference between the front and rear feet of a pig's feet from the appearance, if you look closely, you will find that the bones of the front feet of the pig's feet are smaller than those of the rear feet, because the front feet are the main part of the pig's feet that exert force. , so there are pig trotters in the front feet, which are tighter in texture, while the back feet have less movement and more fat, so they taste greasy, so relatively speaking, the front feet of pig feet are better than the back feet.

Look at the elbows

The elbows of the front feet of pig's feet are generally bent toward the back, while the elbows of the rear feet of pig's feet are The bottom part is in front of the curve. This difference is more obvious and can usually be seen at a glance.

Look at the amount of meat

The front legs of pigs have more leg meat, but generally there is more lean meat than fat meat, so they are suitable for braised pig's feet or white-cut pig's feet, etc., while the rear feet of pigs The leg meat is relatively small and mostly fat, so it is suitable for soup.

The most obvious and direct difference between the front and rear legs of pigs is the price. In most places, the front legs of pigs are more expensive than the rear legs of pigs, because the front legs of pigs are more expensive. More popular.
