How to distinguish whether buying pig's trotters is good for the front foot or the back foot?

The front foot is relatively better. Although it is difficult to see the difference between the front foot and the back foot of a pig's foot from the appearance, careful observation will reveal that the front foot bone of a pig's foot will be smaller than the back foot.

Because the front foot is the main stress part of the pig's foot, the front foot has pig's hoof tendons, the meat is firm, and the back foot is greasy because of less exercise, so the front foot of the pig's foot is relatively better than the back foot.

The elbow of the forefoot of a pig's foot generally bends backward, while the elbow of the hind foot of a pig's foot bends forward. This difference is obvious, you can see it at a glance.
