I believe everyone has eaten pig's trotters, women eat beauty and beauty, men eat to strengthen their bodies, the nutritional value is extremely high, and it is very popular in our country, so it is more expensive than ordinary pork.
But people who buy groceries often know thatPig's trotters are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the meat quality Q bomb delicious fresh pig trotters, ** are generally relatively high,And those frozen trotters,** are not even half of the trotters of fresh pigs.
Therefore, many people wonder why there is so much difference between the twoWhy is the ** of frozen pig's trotters so cheap?Is there some ulterior secret?
It is understood that with the better and better conditions of our country's people, since 1978, the demand for pork by the national population has beenFrom 9 kilograms per year, it has risen to 70 kilograms per year in 2022
It is equivalent to saying that the 1.4 billion people in our country eat about 700 million pigs every year, not counting other meats.
It is also for this reason that China's demand for pork is extremely high, although the domestic production of pork is huge, but it can not fully meet the needs of domestic people, resulting in the need for China to purchase a certain amount of pork every year.
But one thing worth noting is that in addition to importing whole pigs from abroad, ChinaI will also use a cheap ** to buy some pig offal and limbs.
Because the food in Western countries is relatively simple, they usually only eat lean parts, such as pig offal, limbs, pig heads and other essences, they will only find it difficult to swallow, so they will sell these parts to China with cheap **.
In fact, this can also be understood, after all, their cooking methods, in the eyes of our people, are really not enough, and our country, which has always been known as a food country, these parts are directly fragrant for us.
However, if you want to send these meats, you need to go through many customs and finally arrive in China, so merchants generally choose to freeze them, which can greatly extend the shelf life.
But it is precisely because of this that after these meats are delivered, compared with fresh meat, the quality is not half a star, plus,If the meat is not fresh, the texture will be greatly reduced.
For this reason, if a business wants to attract customers, it can only fight a battle, and the ** of fresh pork and the ** of frozen pork are also staggered.
Speaking of which, there must be people who are puzzled, although the ** of the two is staggered,But it is the same part of the pig, why is the ** of the pig's trotters more expensive than pork?
If you want to talk about why pig's trotters are more expensive than pork, you have to talk about the characteristics of pig's trotters that people love and hate.
As we all know, pig's trotters should be the place where the pig moves the most in addition to its mouth, and its meat quality has become very tendony, plusIt is rich in collagen, calcium, phosphorus, iron, etc., as well as various vitamins.
WhileThe collagen in pig's trotters has a strong beauty effectFor women, it can be said that it is a must-have medicine at home.
And the vitamins it contains can effectively help the elderly prevent osteoporosis, after all, the old saying goes:What you eat, what you make. In addition, its taste and texture are very attractive, and it is a special food in many places, so it is widely eaten by people.
From these points alone, the nutritional content of pig's trotters is much stronger than that of pork, not to mention that in terms of quantity, there are only four pig's trotters in a whole pig, and pig's trotters are more scarce.
Therefore, pig's trotters have become a recognized tonic, especially when someone in the family is sick or fractured, the best choice must be pig's trotters with all the face.
But as more people buy it, some of its secrets are also seen through by people, so what is it?
As the pig's trotter became widely loved, some of its peculiarities quickly became apparent, the most incredible of which wereIt's all pig's trotters, why are some expensive and some cheap?
This can't help but make people feel puzzledIf the imported frozen pig trotters are because the freshness is not enough, then what about the cheap domestic pig trotters?
You must know that most of these pig trotters come from large domestic pig farms, which can ensure the freshness of pig trotters in real time, so why is there a difference in **?
It turns out that after these pigs are slaughtered, they will be sent to various places for sale, and the pig's trotters are one of these parts, and after they are sent to the stalls, they will not be bought immediately, there are always some leftover pigs' trottersMerchants need to freeze for secondary salesAfter a long time, the ** difference appeared.
In fact, in addition to these, there is also a way to use some bad pigs, such as those that are already old, and generally male boars will sell them when they have grown to the best meat quality.
But because the sow has the ability to reproduce, it will be preserved, breed the next generation, and continue the development of pork, but if at this time, the sow is due to physical reasonsIf you can't reproduce, then you will be decisively abandoned.
Due to the long growth period of the sow, the meat quality will be very woody compared to the young boar, and the taste will be greatly reduced, especially its trotters.
Although the trotters of these sows are larger than the usual trotters and look better, the real taste cannot be compared with other trotters, so this kind of trotters will be cheaper.
There are also some merchants,Perhaps in order to make money, some dead pigs will be sterilized and disinfected for secondary saleto make a profit.
In addition, there will be people who inject a large amount of water into the pig's trotters to make the pig's trotters look very round and full, in order to prevent this practice from being discovered by buyers on the spotThey will choose to freeze the trotters to increase the weight of the trotters as a way to make black money.
But with the increasing number of people buying water-injected pig trotters, such practices of black-hearted merchants have also been made public by the majority of netizens, such as inOctober 29, 2023When someone filmed ** broke the news, himselfOn the trotters I bought, there are obvious needle eyesAt that time, I didn't pay much attention to it, but after the customer thawed the pig's trotters, he was surprised to find that there was a lot of water flowing from the position of the needle's eye, which was a strange scene that made people have to doubt.
Immediately the customer will ** posted on the Internet, and this matter has also attracted the attention of the majority of netizens, the person in charge of the supermarket after knowing, said that when the pig's trotters were sent, it was frozen, and the specific need to find ** business to ask.
This alone can be seen from thatIn order to make black money, some unscrupulous merchants deliberately inject pig's trotters with water to increase the weight of pig's trotters.
In fact, this kind of thing is not new, as early as 2011, such incidents have emerged one after another, the most jaw-dropping of which is that at that time, there was a man who had been buying pigs around the village and town.
Without exception, these purchased pigs are all pulled down in the factory prepared in advance, and the pigs are injected with water, so as to increase the weight of the pigs, and then sold by special channels.
At that time, after this matter was investigated, the relevant departments punished the man for 15 years, and this matter was also a sensation at the time, but despite such an example, there are still many black-hearted businessmen emerging in endlessly.
For example, in August 2021, oneMr. Deng, who is known for his roast pig's trotter business, spent 3,900 yuan online to buy 10 boxes of pig's trotters.
When he first got the express, Mr. Deng didn't find anything wrong, but after the pig's trotters thawed, Mr. Deng was surprised to find that these pig's trotters were leaking!
As can be seen from **,Mr. Deng pressed hard, and there was a splash in the pig's trottersThis situation made Mr. Deng, who had been roasting pig's trotters for many years, instantly notice that something was wrong. He seriously suspected that the trotters had been watered in order to achieve a sufficient amount.
As it turned out, it was exactly what Mr. Deng thought.
Through the above and its examples, it can be clearly found that the price of a penny is very reasonable, and the expensive pig's trotters must have its expensive reason.
And those cheap frozen pig trotters, I have to say, there are great unknown risks, which also tells everyone that inWhen it comes to eating, be sure to buy fresh ingredients, and don't take risks with your body for temporary gains.
