The yellow throat is a large blood vessel, usually the aorta, in domestic animals such as pigs and cows.
Yellow throat, although it carries the word throat, actually has nothing to do with the throat. The scientific name for yellow hose is aortic arch, which is the aortic blood vessel coming out of the ventricle. The arterial vessels coming out of the left ventricle are thicker, and the arterial vessels coming out of the right ventricle are thinner, so they can be used for yellow hose shabu-shabu.
Pig yellow throats are about 60 to 70 centimeters long, while beef yellow throats are at least 1 meter long. Prof. Liu Wenzong said the most commonly eaten yellow throats are part of the blood vessels in pigs, with the main component being smooth muscle, which is a protein and has a higher nutritional value than internal organs such as the liver and stomach.
Expanded:
The yellow throat is the aorta of a cow or pig, in which a membrane that is difficult to tear affects the taste. Workers put on gloves and carefully tear off this membrane, and skilled workers can handle up to 1,000 a day.
The aorta, which is a blood vessel of the heart, has mucous membrane tissue present on the yellow throat. This mucous membrane really affects the taste and can be a pain to chew. Removing it by hand alone is laborious and time consuming. Wearing gloves can increase friction and make it easier to remove. In Chongqing, many workers use this practice.
