The surface of bacon is pure white, because the salted food will produce a very uniform white cream on the surface because of the precipitation of salt. This kind of bacon is edible.

Bacon is white, uneven and moldy. This is because the bacon is improperly preserved and the inside is infected by bacteria. Such bacon can't be eaten.

Matters needing attention in bacon drying

1, nice weather

The drying of bacon must be carried out under the condition of good weather and abundant sunshine, because it can completely evaporate the water in the meat. At the same time, after drying, there will be no bacteria on the meat, keeping the freshness of the bacon. Therefore, when drying bacon, you must choose good weather and try not to choose rainy days.

2, to prevent animal erosion

Generally speaking, bacon is dried in rural open spaces. Because it is outdoors and surrounded by rice fields, there are often some wild cats, wild dogs or birds to erode bacon. For example, cats and dogs will eat bacon directly, while birds will peck bacon. If bacon is pecked by birds, it is unsanitary at first, leaving bird droppings and feathers, which are basically inedible. So we must pay attention to the infringement of these small animals.
