There must be many people like me who particularly like snacks with pork floss! Since the popularity of pork floss and pork floss, a variety of pork floss-related snacks have emerged, including pork floss bread, pork floss buns, and pork floss rusks. Each one is particularly delicious, which has promoted the rapid development of the pork floss industry.

Pork floss began during the period of Genghis Khan. It is said that during the Mongol Empire, Genghis Khan traveled across the Eurasian mainland, and his food was pork floss and baby milk powder. This is recorded in Marco Polo's travel guide: The Mongolian cavalry brought a kind of pork floss food and used it as a food crop during battle breaks.

Pork floss is also very simple to make and was well established in that era. Later, Mongolian grassland culture seriously influenced the food culture of the Qing Dynasty. The minced meat made by removing the water from meat products was uniformly called pork. Pine, popular throughout Asia. You can even see pork floss in parts of China, Mongolia, Japan, Thailand, and Malaysia.

Can pork floss be said to be made from meat? During those days when the price of pork was rising, pork floss, clams, and pork floss bread were still sold at cheap prices. This made people wonder, if pork floss can be said to be made from raw pork, why didn't the store increase the price? Price, are you really selling cheap goods at any cost?

If you have made pork floss at home, you will know that the cost of pork floss is not low at all. On the one hand, the price of pork is not cheap. After a pound of pork is seasoned, cooked, and dried, the final pork floss may only cost about three ounces. At present, the pork floss on the market, which costs tens of yuan, comes in a big bucket or a big bag. At this time, you need to take a look at the ingredient list.

These very cheap pork floss are not made from raw pork, but are mixed with soy flour and chicken breast. Although the name still clearly says pork floss, the ingredient list is very clear to you. Said that the raw materials are not only raw pork, but also some cheap seasonings and condiments.

If I hold 50 yuan in my hand, how much pork floss can I buy? Let’s not talk about pork, beef and mutton for now, let’s take the cheapest chicken breast as an example. The chicken breast is dehydrated and made into pork floss. The ex-factory price is about 37 yuan/500g. This does not include manpower, space, water and electricity projects, auxiliary materials, and losses.

If it is raw pork, the price is also higher, 5 yuan/500g is considered the normal price. Because when you see any pork floss on the market that costs less than 50 yuan/500g (calculated in this way), you need to look at the ingredient list and pay attention to what auxiliary materials are added to this pork floss.

There are also many mothers who like to make their own pork floss, buy pork and season it at home. Although the cost of processed pork floss is relatively high, they can always be eaten with confidence. But is homemade meat floss suitable for children? Can the nutritional content of home-made pork floss be compared with eating pork immediately?

In fact, whether you buy pork floss from outside or make fresh pork floss at home, the production process is inseparable from long-term steaming and frying. During the long steaming process, the water-soluble vitamins and minerals in the braised pork will slowly leak out, the collagen will dissolve, and part of the carbohydrates will disperse, leaving the flocculent muscle tissue of the steamed meat.

During the frying process, vegetable oil and sugar are added. Although the aroma of pork floss can be made particularly fragrant and delicious, as the frying time becomes longer, some Harmful substances are gradually fried out, and the combination of protein and sugar will also produce substances that are not easily digested. The nutritional value of pork floss will decrease, and it may even be harmful to the human body of children.

So I suggest mothers, don’t think that making pork floss for your baby at home is relaxing and healthy. Pork floss itself is not a nutritious food. You can usually eat it as a snack, or feed a child with a partial eclipse. It's okay to feed a little pork floss, but don't eat pork floss for a long time or eat too much fat and sugar.
