Nutritionally speaking, the nutritional content of chicken chicken is much higher than that of old hens. First of all, the meat of young chickens contains more protein, while the meat of old hens contains less protein. Secondly, the chicken meat of old hens only accounts for 40% of its body weight, and most of it is fat and elastic connective tissue. Elastic connective tissue is a kind of water-insoluble elastin and can only be absorbed by the human body in small amounts, which will reduce the nutritional value of old hens. After the chicken is cooked, the chicken separates easily and becomes tender and soft. This shows that it contains less elastic connective tissue and the nutrients are more conducive to human body digestion and absorption.
