Old beef and "tender beef" are very different, and I am afraid of buying the wrong beef when buying beef, look at these 3 points

Beef is a kind of meat that is more common on our table and is deeply loved by the public. Beef contains a lot of rich protein and dietary fiber, per 100g of beef contains 3.2 mg of iron, 20.1 mg of protein, although rich in nutrition but relatively low in calories, so it is especially suitable for fitness and weight loss people.

Although beef is loved, it is how to choose

This to

Tender beef

also has a lot of attention, today I will share with you the difference between "tender beef" and "old beef", and how to choose.

When many friends choose beef, they will choose to look at the air-dried film, thinking that fresh beef does not have an air-drying film, and the old beef

for a long time will have an air-dried film, in fact, observing the air-drying film can not judge whether the beef is "fresh" or not.

Observe the beef texture

If you want to choose fresh "tender beef", you must first look at the texture of the beef,

the texture of fresh "tender beef" is muscle plus some fat, and it will look very full. Generally, "tender beef" is in the prime of the cow, so the muscles are firmer and the taste will be more delicious.

"Old beef"

will have more fat, it looks like the texture is rougher, there will be a gap of about 1 mm in the middle of each texture, see the beef with a gap in the middle of the texture, generally "old beef", everyone should see clearly when buying.

Observe the color of the beef

The difference between "tender beef" and "old beef" can be seen in the color of the beef. The color of "tender beef" will generally appear bright red or light red, and the color will be more bright and shiny.

"Old beef" and "tender beef"

are the opposite, not only the color will be a little dull and black, but also have no luster, which is also the most intuitive difference between "tender beef" and "old beef". Therefore, when you buy beef, you prefer bright colors, so that the taste of beef is more tender.

Observe the beef rebound speed

To know how fresh the beef is, press the beef with your hands. If it is fresh beef, after pressing by hand, the beef will rebound relatively quickly, very tough and elastic.

If it is "old beef", after pressing the beef with your hand, the beef will not rebound so fast, and the rebound speed will not only be slow, but also have the feeling of collapsing into a pit. Most of such beef is stale.

Smell the beef

In addition to observation, another way is to smell the beef. The smell of "tender beef" will have a faint bloody smell, while "old beef" will generally have a heavier taste, and there may be other peculiar smells.
