Buy pig's hoof, front hoof or back hoof? The difference may be great. It's not cost-effective to buy the wrong meat with fewer bones.
Buy pig's trotters to see if you bring them. There are many kinds of pig feet in the vegetable market, and the prices are different. For example, trotters without tendons are much cheaper. In fact, to tell whether the pig's feet have tendons, just look at whether there are cuts on the surface of the pig's skin. If there is, it proves that the tendon has been taken out. If the skin of the pig's foot is intact, it proves that the tendon is still there, so you can buy it with confidence.
The difference between the front hoof and the back hoof, as the saying goes, "front hoof and back hoof" means that the front hoof is thicker and tastes better, and the back hoof generally only eats hooves, because the back hoof has more hoof meat. If you make braised pork feet or braised pork feet, try to buy front feet. If it's stew, you can choose the back hoof, but how should you distinguish the front hoof from the back hoof? It can be distinguished from wrinkled skin. The front hoof is straight and slightly curved, and the two claw tips raised by the front hoof are not worn much. On the contrary, the hind hoof bends more, the claw tip often touches the ground, and the wear will be more.
If you are from the countryside, it is obvious from this picture that the front hoof is obviously thicker and the back hoof is obviously thinner. I think after reading this article, it is easy to tell what is the front hoof and what is the back hoof when buying pig's trotters.
Tip:
Bian Xiao does not recommend buying trotters instead of frozen trotters.
First, buy fresh ones for health reasons.
Second, the protagonist's fresh nutrition is far greater than the frozen hoof.
