1, different parts

The front pointed meat and the back pointed meat refer to the front pointed meat and the back pointed meat of pigs respectively, so they are named because they are located above the buttocks. They are located in different parts, in which the front pointed meat is located above the pig's front leg and the rear pointed meat is located above the pig's rear leg, that is, near the pig's ass, which is also called two-knife meat.

From the position, the front pointed meat is located above the pig's front leg and the rear pointed meat is located above the pig's rear leg, which are completely different.

2, the meat quality is different

When pigs usually exercise, they mainly rely on the strength of their front legs, that is, the exercise of their front legs will be greater. Compared with the front legs, the pig's hind legs mainly play a supporting role, so the exercise will be less. As we all know, in the case of a large amount of exercise, fascia and meat membrane will form inside pork, so the meat quality will be different.

The front tip meat is close to the pig's front leg, so the meat quality is closer to the pig's front leg meat, with finer fiber, more fat meat and less lean meat. The rear sharp meat is close to the pig's hind legs, and the meat quality is closer to the pig's hind legs. Meat fiber is thicker and lean meat is concentrated. From the meat quality point of view, the meat fiber of the front pointed meat is thinner and the fat part is more, while the meat fiber of the rear pointed meat is thicker and the lean meat part is more concentrated.

3. Different tastes

The meat at the front tip is tender, smooth and elastic, and tastes fresh, tender and delicious with full flavor. Compared with the front pointed meat, the texture of the back pointed meat is rougher and not as tender as the front pointed meat. It tastes hard and chewy, Lao Chai, but it doesn't taste as fragrant as the front tip. From the taste point of view, the front pointed meat tastes more tender and elastic, while the back pointed meat tastes hard, delicious and old wood.

4, suitable for different practices
