The difference between pork belly and plum blossom meat lies in:
1, location: pork belly is located in the belly of the pig, which is the fleshy part of the belly of the pig. Plum blossom meat belongs to the scapular meat of pigs, which is divided into upper and lower scapular meat, with a layer of oil and a layer of lean meat alternating.
2. Meat taste: Pork belly is a part of pigs that is not easy to exercise, so the proportion of lean meat is low. Because it contains more oil, it is suitable for cooking that needs long-term stewing, and the meat quality is not easy to dry thoroughly. Plum blossom meat is a part of scapular meat, which is located under the epidermis. Pigs will only move to this part, and the proportion of lean meat is higher.
