The difference between pig's hand and pig's foot

The difference between pig's hands and pig's feet is that pig's hands will have more meat than pig's feet.

Some people can't tell the difference between pig's hands and pig's feet, which leads to mistakes when buying. In fact, there is a big gap between pig's hands and pig's feet, and the appearance price and taste of dishes will be obviously different. The bones of pig's elbow, that is, the bones of pig's hand are less, so the meat of pig's hand is more than that of pig's foot. There is a big bent bone in the back elbow of a pig.

There is a very important way to distinguish between pig's hand and pig's foot, that is, pig's hand and pig's foot are in the same position, so it can be clearly seen that Zhou's hand will be longer, while pig's foot has only bones in that position. Although each trotter has four toes, the heads of the two big toes of the pig's hand and pig's foot are different. The two big toes of the pig's foot are asymmetrical, and the two big toes of the pig's front elbow will feel as big as usual.

Matters needing attention in buying trotters

1. When buying trotters, be sure to touch the surface of trotters to see if they are fresh. If the surface of pig's trotters is particularly sticky, it means that pig's trotters have been soaked in water and are not fresh at all. You should not buy it. Eating it will definitely be harmful to your health.

2. In addition, judging from the color of pig's trotters, there is some blood on the surface of pig's trotters, because the blood inside can't be completely removed, which will leave some blood. Sometimes the color of trotters is a little light, but they are actually normal trotters. Be careful of those pig's feet that look white and big. It is very important to observe them carefully before deciding whether to buy them.

3. See if the feet of the pig's hoof are closed. Under normal circumstances, pig's trotters are closed and will not open. If the pig's feet are open, it means that the pig's feet have been soaked in medicine before opening, and the meat is particularly loose. Don't buy this kind of trotters.
