Extended data:
When buying, choose the one with dry appearance, no odor, no sour taste and bright flesh color; If the lean meat is black and the fat is dark yellow, it means that the shelf life has expired and it is not suitable for purchase.
Bacon, as a meat product, does not deteriorate for a long time. After the winter solstice, the bacon made before the great cold has the longest preservation time and is not easy to deteriorate. Preserved at room temperature, bacon tastes most authentic before March of the lunar calendar. With the increase of temperature, the meat quality of bacon will remain unchanged, but the taste will become pungent. So after the third month of the lunar calendar, bacon can't be preserved at room temperature.
The best way to preserve bacon is to wash it, wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the freezer, so it can be preserved for a long time, even for three to five years.
