    If it is only a small amount of white mildew, it is likely that the bacon is cured due to the excessive salt, and after being released when stored in a humid environment, it is condensed on the surface of a layer of white "salt frost".

    2. Smell the smell.

    2) Inferior bacon: the fat has rancid taste, hala taste, foul smell or other peculiar smell, or has obvious chemical agent odor.

    3. Touch with your hands.

    1) High-quality bacon: the flesh is dry, firm, acupressure without traces and elastic;

    2) Inferior bacon: the meat is soft and inelastic, with obvious traces after acupressure, moist and mucus on the outside, and mildew spots cannot be erased.

    2. If moldy bacon can be eaten, start with the following methods.

Or if you want to keep it, you can wrap it in clean paper and wrap it in a container with charcoal or lime, or put it in a rice jar. When the weather is sunny, take it out and dry it often, and you can keep it for a long time.

    2. Wash it directly with water, then put it under the sun for a day, then put more salt on it, and hang it in a ventilated place; Or you can choose to wash it with rice washing water, which is easier to wash off the moldy spots on it than clean water, and you can eat it after a day of exposure.

Bacon is kept at room temperature, when the taste is the most authentic before the third lunar month, and as the temperature rises, the bacon will become pungent in taste, although the meat quality remains the same. Therefore, after the third month of the lunar calendar, bacon cannot be stored at room temperature.

    Hello, I'm honored to answer for you, it's edible. The black color of bacon is the black substance on the skin of bacon, which is because the bacon is smoked in the smoking process, and some solid particles in the smoke are attached to the surface of the meat and become black after a long period of placement, so the black we see when buying bacon can be understood as some impurities attached to it, which can be removed after simple cleaning, so there is no need to worry about anything.

    The bacon is moldy and cannot be eaten.

    If there is mold in the process of placing the bacon at home, it is not recommended to continue to eat. Because the surface of this moldy bacon will produce a lot of harmful bacteria, and if you continue to eat it, you will be prone to abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting and other gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms. In addition, bacon itself contains a certain nitrite component, which has a certain degree of carcinogenicity, and the carcinogenic content in the bacon will increase after the appearance of mold.

    How to preserve bacon without mold:

    1. When the temperature is low in winter, we put the bacon in a cool and ventilated place, which can be naturally placed for about 1 month. Families with firewood stoves in rural areas generally hang lap-mei above the firewood stove mouth, and smoke lap-mei again every time they burn firewood. This method will make the bacon drier and drier, so that it will become old bacon after 1 month.

    2. Bacon can be frozen in the refrigerator for 1-2 years without spoiling, but the longer the time, the more harmful substances increase, so the taste and taste are not as good as before putting it in the refrigerator.

    3. Wrap the bacon in paper, put it in a basket or carton, and put straw or wheat straw ash on each layer; In rural areas, it can also be placed in granaries where rice is piled up. It is about 1 month to be sunbathed in the sun, and it can generally be kept fresh for about half a year.
