Hello, everyone, this is Qingqing who loves cooking. I'm Qingqing. Sparerib is a kind of meat food that we often eat in our life. High nutritional value, containing protein, vitamins, calcium phosphate and other nutrients. It is especially suitable for the elderly and children to supplement calcium. At the same time, the practice of ribs is also varied, which can be used for stewing soup, steaming, stewing, or making sweet and sour ribs. , are very delicious.

Although ribs are delicious, many friends don't choose them, and they can't tell the difference between "front row" and "back row". They either specialize in picking meat, or let the stall owner help them pick it casually, so it is difficult to buy high-quality ribs. Moreover, the ribs can't be bought well, and the taste of the dishes will be greatly reduced. Or our own loss. Not much to say, let's first teach you the difference between pigs in the front row and pigs in the back row, and how to choose ribs correctly.

First, the first row of pigs

First, let's get to know the pigs in the front row. In fact, the position of the pig in the front row is the rib near the pig's front leg. Pigs have many bones in the front row, especially the two ends, which are brittle bones, so they have less meat. Although there is little meat, it is the essence. This part of the meat is very tender, fat and thin, fresh and smooth, and tastes excellent. Moreover, the pigs in the front row are easy to cook and boneless, which is especially suitable for braised pork ribs and steamed pork ribs. The only deficiency is that the bone marrow is less and it is not suitable for long-term stewing.

Second, the pigs in the back row

Let's talk about the back row of the pig, which is the part near the pig's tail. Compared with the pigs in the front row, the pigs in the back row have more lean meat and tighter meat quality, which is more suitable for soup and long-term stewing. Because there are more bone marrow in the back row of pigs, if it is used for stewing soup, the nutrition of bone marrow will penetrate into the soup, so that the stewed soup is not only rich in flavor, but also very nutritious.

Third, the difference between pigs in the front row and pigs in the back row.

In fact, the prices of pigs in the front row and pigs in the back row are almost the same in most areas, so when we buy ribs, we only need to decide according to our personal tastes and cooking methods. So how do we distinguish the pigs in the front row from the pigs in the back row?

First, the length of the ribs. From the length analysis, the front row pigs are longer than the back row pigs, and the two ends of the front row pigs are generally connected with brittle bones or some relatively large bones. Second, the thickness of the ribs. Generally, the bones of pigs in the back row are thicker than those of pigs in the front row, which can be clearly seen by naked eyes. The thickness of the pig's back row further shows that it has more bone marrow. Third, the thickness and tenderness of meat. Generally speaking, the meat of pigs in the front row is relatively thin, tender to the touch, fat and thin. The meat in the back row of pigs is thick, almost all of them are lean meat, which can be recognized at a glance.

Four. abstract

When buying ribs, whether in the front row or the back row, you can buy them according to cooking methods and taste needs. If you want to eat more meat, and it is used for stew, you can buy pigs in the back row; On the contrary, if you want something that can be easily boned and cooked and used for barbecue, stew or steaming, you can buy pork in the front row.
