How to choose fresh and delicious pork
- You should choose pieces of meat that are bright red and feel firm when touched.
- In addition, you should prioritize pieces that were just cut, with a dry surface and a characteristic smell of meat.
- Absolutely do not choose pieces that are pale white or dark brown, and feel soft and mushy when touched, as these are signs that they have been stored for a long time, which are not tasty and lack nutrition.
