How to choose fresh and delicious pork
- Choose meat that is light pink or light red in color, with the fat being slightly translucent white. In addition, you should also choose meat that has a bit of fat or a mixture of fat and lean, so that when eaten it is not too greasy or too dry due to being too lean.
- Fresh and delicious pork will have good elasticity when you press it with your hand; after you remove your hand, the meat returns to its original shape, and there are no indentations on the surface of the meat.
- You should not choose meat that is pale in color, has a foul smell, or has a slimy texture, as these are signs of spoiled or non-fresh meat.
- Additionally, you should choose pork with a clear origin from reputable sources, quality supermarkets, clean food stores, or order from e-commerce sites like bachhoaxanh.com.
