1. The front hooves have more meat and less bones, and are straight in shape. The rear hooves have less meat and more bones, and are curved. 2. Obvious tendons can be seen on the cross section of the pig’s front hooves, but there are no tendons on the cross section of the pig’s hind hooves.

3. The pig's trotters have meat and look much bigger; the pig's feet have no meat and are covered with muscles and bones, so they look thinner.

In addition to the difference in appearance, pig knuckles and pig feet have different tastes and ways of eating.

Pork trotters mainly eat meat, so those who want to eat meat should buy pig trotters; pig trotters mainly eat the thick skin and the essence of pork bones. If you want to supplement collagen, buy pig trotters!

4. The shape of pig's trotters: connected with curved joints and large pieces of meat, it looks relatively large and meaty. The shape of pig's trotters: has thick skin and large bones, and less meat.

5. Front hoof: small, tender meat, thick and obvious tendons, visible joints (can bend), small bones, expensive.

Hind hooves: big, thick flesh, thin tendons that cannot be seen, straight and cannot be bent, big bones, cheap.

1. The front hooves are curved, enlarged, have enough meat, and are more expensive; the hind hooves are straight and cheaper than the front hooves.

2. Another tip is: if the pig has few claws, the bigger ones are the hind hooves and the smaller ones are the front hooves.

But this method is not very practical when working with many pig trotters.

3. Obvious tendons can be seen in the front trotters, but there are no tendons in the rear trotters.

This is the most practical method.
