Moreover, sow meat is old and thick-skinned, making it difficult to process and absorb nutrients. Moreover, the fat smell of sow meat is particularly strong and the taste is not good. However, the most serious thing is that sow meat contains immune globulin that is harmful to the human body, especially in sows before giving birth to piglets. If the human body eats sow pork, it can easily cause anemia, hemoglobinuria, hemolytic jaundice and other diseases, which is very harmful to human health. Therefore, it is best not to eat it.

However, in the market, sow meat is allowed to be eaten and sold, but it must be clearly stated during the sales process, otherwise it will be considered a fraud. When buying pork, you must pay attention. Some unscrupulous traders may sell sow pork as normal pork. In this case, you need to understand the basic characteristics of sow pork and carefully identify it to prevent mistaken purchase and consumption. . The identification of sow meat is mainly based on thick skin, dark red meat, yellow and fishy fat, and is generally sold with the skin peeled off.
