Have you also been deceived by the red lights in the supermarket? The era of "beauty" of fresh lamps is gradually withdrawing from the market after the ban was imposed last year, and consumers can finally see the original appearance of the ingredients.
Still, for many people who lack life experience, choosing fresh meat is still a challenge. So how can you buy fresh meat that satisfies you?
The first thing to see is whether the meat is frozen.
1. Unfrozen meat
Freshness can be identified from the following three aspects:
1. Look! Fresh meat is generally transparent, smooth in color, light red on the cut surface, and has a slightly dry film on the surface;
2. Touch! The surface of fresh meat is moist and non-sticky, the meat is firm and elastic, and the surface will recover quickly with a light touch of the hand;
3. Smell! Depending on the type of meat (chicken, pig, beef, etc.), it should have its own unique smell, but it is fresh if there is no peculiar smell.
2. Frozen meat
1. Observe whether the meat retains its original color and the cut surface is pale rose;
2. The fleshy tissue is solid, the surface is not dry, and there is no peculiar smell.
In addition, if the fresh meat bought home cannot be processed and eaten in time, it needs to be refrigerated (not too long, it is recommended to eat within 2 days) or frozen (it is better to eat within half a year).
