Why is the beef sold in the supermarket so cheap? There's a reason. Many people may find that the price of raw beef sold in vegetable markets or supermarkets varies greatly, and some even differ by twice. Some supermarkets sell beef very cheaply, even cheaper than pork. Seeing this phenomenon, many people have doubts. Let's talk about the difference first.

One of the reasons for the big price difference is that beef is produced in different places. Generally, the price of domestic beef is higher. For example, beef in Inner Mongolia or Northwest China is sold at a high price. A lot of fat beef is 40 to 50 yuan 1 kg, and the cheap beef in the supermarket is 20 to 30 yuan 1 kg, which are generally imported beef. A lot of imported beef is quite cheap, and the quality of beef is relatively poor. Many of them are eliminated cows.

In addition, there is another reason for the price deviation. Generally, the prices of real fresh beef and non-frozen beef are very high. Separated from the slaughterhouse and precooled, it is directly transported to the market for sale. It usually takes two or three days for cattle to be slaughtered and sold. The quality of beef is fresh, and the real fresh beef is mostly domestic beef. In addition, a lot of beef on the market is sold after frozen beef is thawed. Frozen beef may be stored for a long time, the quality of beef is relatively deviated, and the price is much cheaper. Very cheap beef, imported beef is basically sold separately after thawing.
