Pork is more than 20 yuan a catty. Why are the frozen dumplings in the supermarket as cheap as 3 yuan a catty?

Too many cheap additives and less pork. I have seen these prices in jiaozi, especially in some wholesale markets. The price is so low that I can't believe it. There are several kinds of jiaozi with large wholesale volume, and the prices are as follows: Basically, there are almost 30 kinds. For example, a bag of 450 grams, a box of 20 bags, the price of a box 100 yuan, 18 kg, converted into 5.5 yuan/kg; A bag of 5 kg, four bags of 20 bags, the price of 75 yuan, equivalent to RMB 3.7 yuan/kg. Plus these cheap jiaozi, the average price per catty is 3-5 yuan.

Frozen jiaozi produced by ordinary big factories. In this matter, the boss also came up with all the knowledge. The approximate cost is: First of all, quick-frozen dumplings are mass-produced, and the cost itself is Chinese cabbage and pork stuffing. 200 grams of Chinese cabbage and snacks, pork 100, very low. 2.5 yuan (the manufacturer has a lot of meat, which is definitely much cheaper), jiaozi and other raw materials 200g 1.5 yuan, ***5 yuan/kg. But there is still a premise: the company is a mature manufacturer, the raw materials used (including pork) are real, and the price is 5 yuan.

Frozen jiaozi produced by ordinary small factories. Other quick-frozen jiaozi processed by ordinary small factories have lower prices. One of the most important reasons is that the meat in jiaozi is made of soy protein instead of pork. When it comes to soy protein, many food industries have it. Soybean protein is not a synthetic material, but a protein made of soybean ingredients, which replaces pork as a common plant food. You can taste pork. Of course, this cost is much cheaper than pork. In addition, it is easy for small factories to pay attention to "thick skin and little stuffing" when they make jiaozi, and the cost of jiaozi is about 3 yuan/kg.

Some informal small factories produce frozen jiaozi. This informal small factory produces too many additives from jiaozi. First of all, "the skin is too thick" is essential, and secondly, the meat will definitely not be good. A lot of carrageenan was added to the meat stuffing. If they are not elastic, they will become very loose. There is no meat, and the rest are useless materials or additives. You can imagine how low the cost is. The cost of such jiaozi is not more than 3 yuan/kg.
