Selection skills of mutton

1, touch it

When picking mutton, you can touch it with clean hands. If you feel sticky, you can easily stick something like a small piece of paper, which may be fresh. If it is water-injected, or mutton that has been left for a long time, it will not feel this way. Fresh mutton has good elasticity and compact structure, so you can look at the muscle fibers inside when shopping. The tighter the better.

2. Look at this color

High-quality mutton is pink, and it only takes 160 days from birth to slaughter, which ensures the freshness of meat. Pay attention to the selection of meat rolls with uniform color when buying, but the color of meat rolls mixed with other meats is quite different.

Step 3 smell it

Normal mutton has a faint smell. If the smell is strong, it means it is not fresh. If it smells bad, sour or pungent, it must be problem mutton.
