How to choose fresh and delicious buffalo meat
- You should choose buffalo meat with large muscle fibers, a purplish-red color, and little fat or white fat on the surface of the buffalo meat.
- Do not buy buffalo meat that is dark pale in color, lacks good elasticity when touched, and emits an unusual odor, as these pieces of meat are no longer fresh and tasty.
- Since buffalo meat and beef are easily confused, you should pay attention to the color of the fat and meat to distinguish between them. If it is buffalo meat, the fat will be whitish, and the color of the meat will be darker compared to beef.
- To avoid being “sold dog meat under the guise of goat meat,” you should buy buffalo meat at reputable large wholesale markets like Ben Thanh Market, Long Bien Market,… with prices ranging from 75,000 to 150,000 VND per kg of buffalo meat.
How to remove the unpleasant smell of buffalo meat
