Pork is our daily routineOne of the most common meats in life and the main ingredient in many delicious dishes. But, you know what? There are two pieces of meat on the pig's body, which not only has low nutritional value, but also has great harm to human health and may even lead to infectious diseases.
These two pieces of meat are the pork neck and the pork lungs. In order to make money, many butcher shop owners will sell these two pieces of meat to consumers as normal pork, which makes us suffer a loss, and we don't know it.
So, what's wrong with these two pieces of meat? Why should we better not buy it? Next, I will reveal the truth about these two pieces of meat for youMake you more wise and careful when buying pork in the future.
Pork neck meat, bloody neck meat, trough meat, these names are its
Pork neck meat,It is also called bloody neck meat and groove meat, which is one of the most unclean parts of the pig's body. Why? Because when the pig is slaughtered, it is bled from the neck of the pig, so this piece of meat will be full of blood stasis, whitish in color, soft in quality, fat and thin, and there is no obvious dividing line.
Moreover, this piece of meat is also covered with the lymphatic system, and you can feel the hard particles when you pinch it with your hands, which are lymph nodes, lipomas, and thyroid tissue. Inside these things, there are a lot of parasites, bacteria and viruses, and if a pig has been sick, these things will become a breeding ground for germs, and it is difficult to cook and kill. After eating such meat, it is easy to contract diseases, such as pork tapeworm, Streptococcus suis,Swine flu and so on.
In addition to that,There is another reason why people dare not eat pig neck meat, that is, the pig on the farm, the most injected part is the neck. Because there are more nerves in the neck, after taking the drug, it is easier to be absorbed by the pig body, so there will be a lot of toxins and hormones accumulated here, and the harm to the human body is also great.
Therefore, the state has explicitly banned pork neck meat as edible meat**, but some unscrupulous merchants will still sell this piece of meat to consumers as normal pork for the sake of profit, which makes us sufferI don't know yet.
So,How can we avoid buying pork neck? In fact, as long as we pay attention to the following points, we can easily discern it:
Look at the appearance. The fat and lean meat of the pork neck meat are wrapped and intertwined, there is no obvious boundary between fat and lean, the color is whitish, the meat is relatively soft, and sometimes the prominent lymphatic particles can be clearly seen. In normal pork, the fat and lean meat are separated, the color is reddish, and the meat quality is relatively firmThere are no traces of lymphatic granules.
Feel. Pinch it with your hands, and the pork neck meat will obviously feel hard and grainy, which is a large number of lymph nodes, lipomas and thyroid tissue, and healthy pork does not have these grains.
Smell the smell. Pork neck meat generally has a strong bloody smell and obvious peculiar smell, while normal fresh pork has a fixed smell and no peculiar smell.
See**. Pork neck meat is much cheaper than normal pork**, so don't buy pork for a momentary bargain when buying itto the pork neck meat.
Pig lungs, which look white and clean, are actually the dirtiest
Pig lungs are on pigsAnother part that is not suitable for consumption, although it looks white and clean, is actually the dirtiest. Why? Because pig lungs are the respiratory organs of pigs, their function is to filter oxygen and carbon dioxide from the air, but also to absorb dust, dirt, bacteria and harmful substances in the air.
These things will accumulate on the surface and inside of the pig's lungs, forming a black membrane that is very unsightly. Moreover, pig lungs are also a paradise for parasites, and many parasites will multiply in pig lungs, such as porcine lung flukes, porcine lungcystis and so on. These parasites can disrupt the normal function of pig lungs, causing inflammation, bleeding, etcnecrosis and other symptoms.
Someone will say,I just need to clean the pig lungs, can I eat them? Actually, this is a wrong idea. Because pig lungs are made up of many small holes, no matter how much you clean them, you can't completely remove the bacteria, viruses and parasites inside, and the protein content of pig lungs is very low, and the nutritional value is also very low, and there is no benefit to eating it, but it may cause harm to the human body. Therefore, the state has also banned pig lungs as edible meat**, but some unscrupulous businesses will still sell pig lungs as normal pork to consumers for profitLet's suffer,
So,How can we avoid buying pig lungs? In fact, as long as we pay attention to the following points, we can easily discern it:
Look at the appearance. The appearance of pig lungs is white or light gray, with many small holes on the surface, and sometimes black membranes or blood stains can be seen. Normal pork, on the other hand, has a reddish color and a smooth surface with no small holes or a black film.
Feel. If you pinch it by hand, the pig lungs will obviously feel soft and inelastic, while normal pork will have a certain elasticity and will not be easily deformed. Smell the smell. Pig lungs generally have a fishy smell, while normal fresh pork has a fixed odorNo odor.
Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has already understood that these two pieces of meat on the pig, pig neck meat and pig lungs, are best not to buy, because they are not only low in nutritional value, but also have great harm to human health, and may even lead to infection.
Therefore, when we buy pork, we must carefully distinguish and not be "pitted" by unscrupulous merchants. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the way to eat pork, it is best to cook or fry, do not eat raw or semi-raw pork, so as not to cause gastrointestinal discomfort or parasitic infection.
Although pork is delicious, it should also be in moderation and not excessive, otherwise it will increase the risk of obesity, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, etc. I hope everyone can eat healthy and have fun.
