So what skills do you need to master to choose good pork? 1, smell it
Take buying pork as an example. If you know what pork is like in this respect, you can smell it with your nostrils first. In other words, fresh pork and less fresh pork are actually different. Generally speaking, fresh pork tastes a little light, but it tastes positive, not boring, and has no other smell, but it is not very fresh pork. Because it has been left for a long time, it is likely that some other smells will appear.
Step 2 touch it
If you can't tell the smell of pork when you buy it, you can touch it with your hands, in other words, press it with your hands to see the strength and tactile level of pork in this respect. If it is fresh pork, it will return to its original state with a quick press of your hand, and it feels very plastic and strong. Pork meat that is not very good usually feels very loose when touched by hand, especially when pressed by hand, which will not be repaired and will produce pits.
Step 3 look at it
The most direct way to identify what pork looks like is to look at what pork looks like in this respect. Fresh pork is bright red and shiny, and looks particularly bright. It feels fresh at first glance. Pork that has been stored for a very long time usually changes color, as if it were dark red or white, and looks less fresh and shiny. And pigskin will change color. Some stale pigskin has little red dot on it, and some fat is yellow and looks very unsmooth. It is best not to buy pork like that.
In short, when buying pork, we can tell whether the pork is fresh from the above aspects. In addition, the pork is now stamped with the official seal, and the pork that meets the standard is colored or dark blue ring or rectangle, so you can buy it with confidence. However, if there is an inverted triangle on it, it is best not to buy it, because such pork is not up to standard and must be destroyed, but some stores are likely to sell it quietly in order to make huge profits, so be careful.
