The hot pot can be said to be one of the most familiar food categories, especially in the Sichuan and Chongqing area of the food, hot pot can be said to be a major staple. I love hot pot myself, and when I meet up with my friends, I often choose to eat at a hot pot restaurant. The atmosphere is so much better when you eat a lot of vegetables and meat in a hot pot.

Every time I go to a hot pot restaurant, there is a side dish that I must order, duck blood. Originally eat duck blood well, the results of a while ago, I saw a media report, a hot pot brand I often go to, in a local store, found that the "fresh duck blood" and duck is not even half a relationship, and immediately let me big appetite.

As a knowledge-based foodie, for which I also special access to a variety of information, please teach the professionals, and finally roughly understand the way to distinguish between real and fake duck blood, the following to tell you specifically.

As a common hot pot side dish, duck blood with its tender and refreshing characteristics, captured the taste buds of countless eaters like me. However, fake duck blood incidents occur from time to time, whether it is to go to the hot pot restaurant to order duck blood, or to go to the market to buy duck blood home to play hot pot, we have to grow a heart.

It's not hard to distinguish between real and fake duck blood, and the lazy meow summarizes them into the following 3 points.

The real duck blood, the overall texture will be more delicate and tender, so it is easy to break. When you buy duck blood, you can use your hands to test the texture of a small area. If you feel the texture is very rough, hard and not easy to break, in all likelihood, encountered a "problem duck blood".

In addition, the surface pores of raw duck blood are small and smooth, and after cutting with a knife, the pores on the cut surface are not uniform in size. If some adulterated duck blood, the surface will be rougher, the stomata are also larger, after cutting with a knife, the cut surface of the stomata size is more uniform. Through the identification of the state of the pores, you can also simply recognize the fake duck blood.

The real duck blood, smell with an acceptable range of natural blood odor. If it doesn't smell like anything, it's likely to be artificial duck blood. If it smells pungent, or chemicals and other odors, it means that the duck blood is either spoiled, or mixed with other substances, do not buy.

If it is cooked duck blood, we can also taste the texture, to distinguish between real and fake duck blood. The real duck blood, smooth and tender, eat in the mouth, and eat a little like tofu, tender and easy to break, with a faint flavor. If you eat very chewy, and even have the feeling of eating jelly, basically is adulterated duck blood.

In other words, encounter the following three kinds of duck blood, be sure to turn around and go, can also be understood as "3 don't touch":

1, the texture is rough, the surface of the larger pores of the duck blood don't touch;

2, smell of chemicals and other odors of duck blood

3, taste more chewy, not easy to bite the duck blood do not touch.

After learning how to distinguish between real and fake duck blood, I believe we will also be curious about a problem, the market these fake duck blood are how to fake.

Currently on the market of fake duck blood, mostly with pig blood, chicken blood, cow blood, etc. Most of the fake duck blood. Originally eat pig's blood and other animal blood is not harmful, but for cost considerations, these unscrupulous merchants usually use poor quality animal blood, and in order to make the fake duck blood look more realistic, but also to add formaldehyde, industrial pigments, anticoagulants and other harmful substances.

If you eat this kind of fake duck blood for a long time, it will bring a lot of harm to our body. However, we should not worry too much, learn the 3 methods taught above, and remember to eat duck blood "3 do not touch", the probability of stepping on the pit is still relatively low.
