How to tell the quality of mutton?

Buying mutton depends on the color of mutton first: mutton with bright red and shiny meat is fresh, and mutton with white meat is likely to be water-injected mutton. Deteriorated mutton is dark red in color, dull, and the white fat part is even yellow. Frozen mutton may accumulate water under packaging if it is frozen for a long time.

Look at the texture: the mutton with fine texture and tight and elastic meat quality is better, the mutton texture is fine and short, and the goat meat quality is thick and long. Relatively speaking, mutton is slightly sticky and tastes more delicate than goat mutton, while deteriorated mutton is loose in texture and slack and inelastic in meat quality.

Smell it again: fresh mutton has no other smell except fishy smell. If it smells fishy or sour, it is likely that the mutton has gone bad.

Mutton is fresh and tender with high nutritional value. It can be used as a good food therapy for people with kidney yang deficiency, soreness of waist and knees, cold pain in epigastrium and abdomen, and fatigue. Mutton is rich in nutrition, which is of great benefit to tuberculosis, tracheitis, asthma, anemia, puerperal deficiency of both qi and blood, epigastric cold pain, physical weakness and cold, malnutrition, soreness of waist and knees, impotence, premature ejaculation and deficiency-cold syndrome.

Mutton is nutritious and belongs to traditional Chinese medicine. Eating mutton regularly can replenish blood and yang, replenish qi and deficiency, and promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Mutton belongs to calorie meat, which can warm people with cold body, but it is not suitable for people with fever, toothache, aphtha and other symptoms.

If you put a hawthorn or add some radish and mung beans when cooking, you can remove the fishy smell by adding ingredients such as onion, ginger and cumin when frying.
