Horse meat has a higher nutritional value than beef, but why no one eats horse meat?

In fact, some people eat horse meat, but the number of people is smaller. This is due to a combination of the taste of horse meat, the cost of raising horses, and the use of horses.

First of all, let's take a look at the taste of horse meat, because I have only eaten horse meat once, and from my personal point of view, the taste of horse meat may not be very accurate. So, I asked some friends who had eaten horse meat many times.

First of all, from my personal point of view, it was the horse meat that my father brought back as a specialty on a business trip, and its ** is more expensive than beef, but I have to say that the horse meat cooked by myself tasted so bad that I never wanted to eat it a second time. In my opinion, the taste is very strange and difficult to chew. However, I heard that Huishui horse meat in Guizhou tastes very good, and some friends who have been to Guizhou think that horse meat is a delicious delicacy, but it is difficult to operate it yourself.

Since I have never been to Guizhou, I will first classify horse meat as a delicious food that can only be cooked in a certain way. Then it is more expensive, and it requires a specific method to cook delicious horse meat, which can be regarded as one of the reasons why few people eat horse meat.

The cost of raising horses is higher, and horses are not as easy to reproduce as animals such as chickens, ducks and geese, and horses have poor reproductive ability. And horses have a longer growth cycle. The cost of raising horses to a large size is higher, and the ** of horse meat is not much higher than that of beef, and at the same time, because the audience of horse meat is small, there is no prescribed breed of meat and horse for horses, and there is no unified quality inspection standard.

In short, selling horse meat in areas with a small audience is a thing that outweighs the loss, which leads to a large number of places selling horse meat in Guizhou, Xinjiang and other places in China, and other places are even difficult to buy, let alone eat.

In addition, horses are more useful, and many grasslands have paid horse riding programs, and these horses can be ridden for a day to earn the price of selling a horse. Compared with horse meat, which can only be sold once, horse breeders naturally prefer this kind of long-term profitable project, so they are reluctant to sell horses as meat horses.

Because the smell of horse meat is very strong, many people can't stand the taste, and even if you add seasonings, it is difficult to hide the flavor, so you rarely eat it.

Because the taste of horse meat is not good. Due to the long-term running, most of the horse's body is full of muscles, and its taste is very woody.

Horses are mainly a means of transportation, and people do not have the habit of eating horse meat. In ancient times, horses were mainly used as a means of transportation to fight on horseback, and the custom of eating horse meat has not continued since ancient times.

In fact, horse meat is better than beef in terms of nutrition and health, because scientific studies have shown that horse meat contains less fat and more protein, and not only that, but also contains amino acids that are essential for the human body but cannot be produced on its own. Therefore, if you look at the nutritional value of meat alone, horse meat should be a more popular meat than beef, but this situation is very rare, and the author believes that there are two reasons behind this phenomenon, namely economic factors and human emotional factors.

First of all, let's talk about human emotional factors, the development of human civilization is inseparable from the help of horses, and horses were the main transportation labor force before the Industrial Revolution. Because adult horses are generally taller and stronger than humans, they are often capable of many transportation tasks. People need horses to transport goods, and they also need to charge on horseback when fighting, and many of the world's legendary nomads have built their kingdoms on horseback.

For soldiers who have been in contact with horses for a long time, horses have become their friends in life.

Even if they can't speak, that doesn't stop them from having emotions that resonate with humans. For merchants who relied on horses to transport their goods, horses were an important tool for their livelihoods, so there was also a certain degree of trust and dependence on this animal. Then let's talk about the economic benefits of horses, although horse meat can be eaten, but according to the descriptions of people who have eaten it, horse meat tastes similar to wild goats, not delicious.

Secondly, if horses are used as a livestock that provides meat products, then the economic benefits it can bring to humans will be greatly reduced.

Because horses are not able to efficiently convert food into their own meat, it has to do with their own digestion. Cattle and sheep may grow 1 catty of meat after eating, but horses can only grow half a catty of meat or even less. And if horses are allowed to do the work of transportation, they can serve humans all their lives, trekking through mountains and rivers, and all humans need to provide is water and food.

In contrast, the latter way of using horses is more economical, which is the second major reason why humans rarely eat horses.

Horse meat has a higher nutritional value than beef, but why is it not on the table?

In fact, the simplest reason is that the meat of pigs, cattle and sheep is more delicious than horse meat, and although horse meat is nutritious, it is not as delicious as other meats. There are many other reasons besides taste. Horses are not easy to cultivate, in ancient China, horses were usually used as a means of transportation, was used on the battlefield to facilitate the soldiers to fight, and this also shows that the value of the horse itself is relatively high, the reason for the initial cultivation is not as food.

The speed of horses is very fast, many times faster than cattle and sheep, with the existence of horses, ancient people can communicate with each other, even if the communication time is relatively long, it is better than riding cattle and sheep to deliver letters.

If there were no horses, the news of ancient times would be more closed, and it would be more inconvenient for people to travel in ancient times. It can be said that horses are very important for ancient people, so they are also relatively expensive, and only warriors or rich people can use them. Horse-drawn carriages, for example, can only be equipped with those who have money.

Because of this concept, people in the future will breed horses for other reasons, not for food reasons. This concept has gradually been passed down, and it has also formed an inherent concept in people's hearts, which makes people unbearable to attack horses. And because of their long-term relationship with humans, horses have also become very spiritual, just like cats and dogs at home, and can even understand human commands.

In the process of getting along with horses, we can also find that each horse has its own unique personality, just like humans. To eat such a creature is really unpalatable. Some are more mischievous, some are calmer, they are very helpful to humans, and I don't think they should be used for food.

The cost of raising a horse is not very large, but the cost of raising a horse well is very large, some horses are raised by their owners to be shiny, while others have coarse hair due to lack of nutrition. Nowadays, we can hardly see the traces of horses in society, and we can only see people raising horses when we go to the suburbs or horse farms. And every time you see a horse in the city, it will feel relatively fresh.

In general, many of the reasons why people don't like to eat horses have to do with the taste of horses, as well as our history and culture. Horses are adorable animals and good companions for us humans, just like dogs, they can play a very big role in our lives. Although we can't see horses in big cities anymore, we hope that people will be kind to this animal and not use it as food, after all, this animal is very spiritual.

Because there is very little horse meat in ordinary times, and horse meat is not very delicious, the taste of beef and mutton is better, and there are many cooking techniques, so I prefer to eat beef and mutton.

This is because the amount of horse meat is relatively good, and the taste is not particularly good, and then it is difficult for people to eat this meat.

Although horse meat is very nutritious, horse meat has a special taste to eat, which not many people can accept, and the ** of horse meat is also relatively high.

Although horse meat has a lot of nutrients in it, horses have also made a lot of contributions to our country, so people can't bear to kill horses, and the taste of beef and mutton is also very delicious and easy to breed.

Because these two kinds of meat are relatively cheap, and horse meat is very expensive, ordinary people can't afford to eat it at all.

Because beef and mutton are more acceptable than horse meat relative to popularity, and the price is also very reasonable, they prefer to eat beef and mutton.

This is because although horse meat is particularly nutritious, it is not easy to digest, and the process of making it is also complicated.

In our lives, we often eat a variety of meats. Whether it's pork or beef and lamb, this is what we eat a lot in our lives. But there are some animals whose meat is very delicious, but people rarely eat it, and today we are going to talk about horse meat.

Because we know that horse meat is also a type of meat, so what is the reason why they have no one to eat it?

The nutritional value of horse meat is very high, horse meat is very delicious, and its fat is also very good, and even the nutritional value is also very high, some people will choose to eat some horse meat when some liver diseases and promote blood circulation. In addition, horse meat can also prevent some arteriosclerosis, and it can be very effective in enhancing people's resistance, but few people eat horse meat in China, especially in Inner Mongolia and some countries that rely on agriculture. As their labor, people are reluctant to eat, and the use of horses is also very useful, such as some pulling goods or transportation, so people are reluctant to eat horse meat.

Horse meat is too expensive for horses to be used as a means of transportation, but they can help people to reduce a lot of burden, so some people see horses as a very important member. Especially at a time when production is very backward, horses are a very important asset that can create a lot of valuable tools. So under the hint of such a long-term thought, people think that horse meat is not to be eaten.

Another reason is that because horse meat is very expensive, it is very difficult for such expensive horse meat to be popularized throughout the country. And the purchase price of the merchants is also very expensive, not to mention the sellers to buy horse meat, so it is very difficult for us to see people eating horse meat in the market.

At the same time, some people think that horse meat and beef are a bit similar, but they don't know that horse meat is actually more nutritious, so under such a blind spot of knowledge, many people will think that eating beef can replace eating horse meat. Why spend a lot of money on horse meat, so if people have been thinking about it for a long time. It will make them more inclined to beef when choosing horse meat and beef, so fewer and fewer people will eat horse meat.

Because horse meat has a bad taste, it tastes very hard, and many people find the taste weird. If the cooking method is not done properly, it will be very unpalatable, and then there is the fact that the horse's reproductive ability is not strong, and it cannot be farmed on a large scale like pigs and chickens, and it is not an economical animal.

The main reason is that horse meat is particularly untasty, and horses are also very important to us, and the cycle of raising horses is relatively long, if you sell meat, you may not make money. So in general, no one will eat horse meat.

It may be because the horse meat does not look good, and the taste of the horse meat is also very hard, and there is also a peculiar smell, which is difficult to accept, so no one eats it.

That's because the donkey meat market has always been very scarce, and there are very few stores of donkey meat, so people rarely eat it.

It may be because it is difficult to breed, and the difficulty of raising is relatively high, and the meat is not particularly delicious, so no one eats it.

Preface: In the long course of history, China has gradually formed its own characteristic food culture, and in these food cultures, I believe that everyone is no stranger to meat, and we can see a variety of meat delicacies on many people's tables. Why is it that donkey meat, pork and mutton can also be seen in the market, but horse meat is basically not seen?

Let's share it with you. <>

In various costume plays, we can see that horses are basically used as a means of transportation. Horses played a very important role in ancient China, helping people to pass letters, participate in wars, and so on. If it weren't for the special period, then the ancient people would not have eaten horses, and this habit has been preserved, and horse meat is not seen in the market now.

In our minds, horses are more like good friends of humans. Without its help, many exchanges and communications of ancient people were very inconvenient. <>

There is such a saying among the people, donkey meat is fragrant and horse meat stinks, and you don't eat mule meat when you are killed. It can be seen that compared to horse meat, donkey meat is still very popular with everyone. In everyone's traditional belief, horse meat is stinky, so no one eats it.

At the same time, in terms of the time of raising horse meat, the cycle is relatively long. If horse meat is used as meat**, not only do you not like to eat it, but it is also very difficult to raise, so it is rare to see horses raised for meat. <>

The survival characteristic of horses is to eat small and frequent meals, its esophagus is relatively narrow, and the large intestine is particularly developed, which helps to digest and absorb roughage. Compared with other carnivores, horses eat less each time, and if you want to raise a horse, it is not an easy thing for the farmer, and in the end, the income from surviving is very small. Horses have relatively developed muscles, if the same is 100 catties of grass, sheep can get a catty of meat when they eat it, while horses only eat half a catty of meat.
