It s all pig s trotters, which is better to buy, front hooves or hind hooves?

If you eat it at home, then the meat on the front leg is naturally more fragrant. In life, many people like to eat pig's trotters, because it does not have the greasy feeling of pork, and it tastes more chewy and elastic. In addition, he also has a lot of collagen, which is liked by many girls, but many people don't understand, what is the difference between the front hooves and the hind hooves, which one should be bought, and which one is more delicious?

In fact, in terms of taste, the taste of the front legs is better, but in terms of nutritional structure, it is actually the same before and after. It's just that in the eyes of some people, they think that the front hooves of pigs are hands, and the hind hooves are legs, so they think that the hands are a little more tender than the legs. But in fact, the pig's front and rear hooves can also be understood in this way, his front leg meat is generally a little more, because he is supported to walk every day, so there is more lean meat.

The flesh and bone of the hind legs are larger, and the flesh is a little less.

In fact, we can also see from the above that which of the two is better, generally the front leg meat is slightly more expensive, we are mainly used for braised pig trotters, braised pig trotters. And the ** of the hind leg is relatively cheaper, we can see this dish in some rural banquets, and the back pig's trotters are used. We must also pay attention to their freshness when choosing, because there are many pig's trotters that are bleached with bleach, so that they will look more white, but in fact, the real pig's trotters have a little yellowing feeling.

In fact, people who can cook can make very delicious dishes no matter which one they use, and this mainly depends on personal technical problems. I don't think you need to worry too much, it mainly depends on your own preferences, if you like a little tender, then it is the front hoof, if you like a little chewy, then eat the back hoof. After all, although there is a difference between before and after, in fact, their nutrition is the same, but there is a slight difference in taste.

Front feet, careful observation can find that the front feet of the pig's trotters are smaller than the back feet, the front feet move more, the part of the force, the pig's trotters are tight, and the back feet are relatively less moving, and they will be a little greasy.

It depends on what you use to do, if you want to make soup, you should choose to mention later, if you choose braised soup, it is more suitable to buy front hooves.

In the past, we thought that when buying pig's trotters, we should choose the hind hooves because they look leaner and the meat is more tender. The front hooves, on the other hand, are more fatty, have coarser fibers, and have a worse taste. But over time, we've found that this back-to-state perception may be different.

Modern people have begun to pay more attention to healthy drinking and clear food, pursuing low-fat, low-calorie, and high-nutrient foods. Against this background, the front hooves appear to be more dominant. The front hooves are fatter than the hind hooves, but they contain higher collagen content and higher nutritional value.

Collagen is another important nutrient in addition to the carbohydrates, fats and proteins we consume daily, which has great benefits for beauty and health. It is able to promote the increase of elasticity and prevent relaxation; Delay the aging and maintain a youthful state; Enhance the elasticity of joints and ligaments, prevent arthritis and other diseases, etc.

Of course, the choice between front and back hooves is still a matter of personal taste and nutritional needs. If you want a more tender chewiness, the hind hooves are still a better choice. But if you want high nutrition and beauty, the front hooves are more suitable.

The front hooves have more meat because he exercises a lot. So its flesh is particularly firm. It contains thick pig's trotters, so this kind of front hoof is suitable for making braised pig's trotters.

We all know that pig's trotters have the effect of raw milk. You can also buy some front pig's trotters to make pig's trotter soup. The meat of the rear pig's trotters will be particularly loose because it does not exercise much.

The main cooking method of the back pig's trotters is to drink the pig's trotter soup. When stewing pig's trotter soup, you can put some soybeans or white radish to match!

The front hooves are better, so when we buy pig trotters, novices should first pay attention to the joint parts of the pig trotters, because the front feet of the pig are bent forward, because we will also find that the joints of the premise are bent forward in the process of observing the pig's walking, and the joints of the rear are bent backwards, so in fact, when we buy the pig's trotters, we can distinguish from the joints of the pig's trotters, and the pig's trotters are the pig's front pig's trotters or the back pig's trotters.

In terms of nutritional value, there is no essential difference between the front and hind hooves of pig trotters, and they are also rich in a lot of protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, etc., all of which have nourishing effects.
