The thicker the pork leg bones, the better, because the thicker the bones, the more bone marrow, and the more nutritious the soup will be. Generally, the front leg bones are short and small with less bone marrow, while the hind leg bones are large and long with more bone marrow. When buying, don’t buy the front leg bones just because they are big. Buy the hind leg bones instead.
Furthermore, the leg bones are divided into meaty and non-meaty. If you want more meat, you should use meaty ones. The current price of leg bones with meat is 6.7 yuan per catty, the price in specialty stores.
If you want to be smaller, you can buy a plate bone, which is a palm-like bone in front of the front leg bone. It is best to bring a crescent bone. Buy it if you see more meat, because it is not only light but also cooked. The soup is not greasy. Don't buy three-bone bones, they have little meat and heavy bones. The trifurcated bone is the front of the hind leg bone.
To sum up, buy the hind leg bones or plate bones with meat.
