Although some people consider fatty pork to be unhealthy, it has been proven that such meat has a beneficial effect on the nervous system and quality of sleep, and is also suitable for consumption by those who suffer from gastrointestinal problems.
If you want the dish to not only be healthy, but also provide a lot of pleasant sensations to your taste buds, you should choose pork wisely.
The cut you choose will depend on the method you plan to use to cook the meat.
For example, if you are trying to make soup, choose shoulder blades or spare ribs – they will make the broth more flavorful.
If you plan to treat your family to a salad or a main course, the flesh from the shoulder blade, ham or less budget-friendly tenderloin will do.
If you have a choice, give preference to chilled pork. Frozen is no worse, but it is much more problematic to verify its quality.
Good meat has a dry surface and a uniform pink color with white streaks. There should be no dark spots or weathered areas.
The pork shouldn't smell - if you feel any sourness, put the piece aside.
To verify the quality of the meat packed in film, press it - the pit that appears on the pork should smooth out within a few seconds. This is a sign of a fresh product.
