Beware of water-filled meat and fresh lights
Buy fresh good meat
Now many butchers shops use Fresh lights to make the meat look tender and red and fresher. In fact, this is understandable. The merchant just opened a "fresh" beauty for the Rouru, making the entire meat stall look even more angry. Many people online do not turn on beauty filters when selling goods live.
As long as you buy groceries, is more careful. Don’t choose it because the meat looks very "fresh". Under
, take pork as an example, teach you 5 meat picking skills to easily buy really fresh good meat.
✔ Choose bright red, not dark red
bright red meat, the pig blood is cleaner and has a fishy smell, which is more suitable for babies. If the blood is not fully bleed, the pork will be darker and taste more fishy. In addition, the meat is not fresh and the color will be darker. It is not recommended to buy ones with strong fishy smell or odor.
If you find that the meat shop has a fresh food lamp, you can turn on the flashlight of your phone to take a photo, or take the meat to a place without the fresh food lamp to see what the real color is .
The color of the same piece of meat under different lights is much different!
✔ Choose the rebound-free and unwet tissue-free
Press with your hands (you can put a plastic bag) . Pork with good elasticity is generally fresher.
▲Badback of non-fresh meat
▲Badback of fresh meat
Some illegal vendors will use water-filled meat and frozen meat as inferior. Judging from the color, the color of the water-filled muscles becomes lighter, some are light red, some are yellowish, which looks swollen, and looks wet from the cut. After the frozen meat is thawed, the surface is also moister than fresh meat.
You can cover a tissue on the meat and pat it gently. If the tissue becomes wet quickly, it may be water-filled meat or frozen meat . It is not recommended to buy it.
▲Infused meat/frozen meat tissue will wet
▲Fresh meat has no water but is a little oily
(Frozen meat sold through regular channels is also guaranteed quality and has a longer shelf life. However, after thawing, it is considered fresh meat to be sold at a high price, which means that the merchant is not kind, and it will easily breed bacteria.)
✔Choose tenderloin meat and make it more tender. Buy pork liver and make up the iron
so many pork parts, recommend tenderloin and pork liver for children. The tenderloin is tender and tender, and the baby is not tired of eating it. Pork liver is a big iron supplementer. Children are prone to iron deficiency. Eating pig liver in moderation can prevent iron deficiency.
✔ Look at the tags and identify them. GB2707
This trick is suitable for parents who often go to supermarkets or buy packaged fresh meat online.There will be a lot of information on the packaging of
. First of all, must confirm that the product execution standard is GB2707, or with the "Animal Product Quarantine Quarantine" tag, and do not buy three meatless.
The meat part, production time, shelf life, pig breed, place of origin , etc. can also be learned through packaging. For example, if you choose a tender tenderloin that has a nearer date of delivery, you can choose a tender meat that tastes better when your child eats. Next time you go to the supermarket, remember to pay attention to the label.
✔ Scale meat, see if there is a quarantine seal or distribution license
After slaughtering the pigs that have passed the quarantine, they will stamp the round stamp with the word "quarantine qualified" . However, when you buy the , you may not find when you buy the stewed meat (after all, you will not stamp the pigs all over the body) , so if you post the following distribution information voucher in the place where you sell meat, it is also OK.
native eggs are better?
Pick fresh ones, which are also nutritious and affordable
Before writing this article, we asked many mothers, but we didn't expect that picking "how to pick eggs" was very popular.
There are too many types of eggs nowadays! Black bone eggs, Cordyceps eggs, native eggs, green shell eggs, ...there are all kinds of eggs, and the price is 4 or 5 times different, which is really dazzling. How to buy
? In fact, there is no need to spend more money on "high-end eggs" for
. The nutrition is similar:
Of course, if the child particularly likes to eat certain eggs and the price is acceptable, then ignore the previous content.
How do you know if the egg is new or not?
Box eggs have a production date and shelf life on the packaging, just choose the freshest . Eggs can be stored for 2 to 3 weeks at room temperature (shorter in summer) , 0 to 4℃ can be stored for 40 to 50 days.
Buy a piece of eggs and you have to judge the freshness by your eyes.
Usually, the shell of fresh eggs is rough and attached with a layer of frosty powder. The pores are obvious, the color is bright and clean, and there is no sound when shaken (the shell of the egg is often smoother and may have a odor) .
Don't buy too big
The meat is old and not safe
Let's talk about how to pick fresh fish first, mainly look at 3 points:
Look at the fish eyes
Pick the eyeballs full and prominent, the cornea is transparent and clear, high-quality fresh fish eyes are clear black and white, clean and free of dirt. The fish that is dying and sick are often dull and grayish-white.
✔ Look at the gills
You can see the color and status of the gills. Fresh fish, the gills are bright red and even, and there is no dirt. The gills are dark red and there is blood stasis, which are not very fresh.
✔ Pick the same fish of medium size
. It is not recommended to choose the same fish that is too big or too small. If it is too big, the fish is relatively older and the meat will be older. It may also be rich in heavy metals and pesticide residues (but don’t worry too much. Heavy metals are generally enriched in the internal organs and gills of fish, and the content in the fish meat is very small) . Fish that are too small are less fragrant than big fish, so it is troublesome to deal with.
It is much easier to pick fresh shrimps, has a clean belly and is more active in water .
▲Not fresh shrimp
▲Fresh shrimp is very active
In addition, many mothers have left messages recently saying that they dare not eat imported frozen fish and shrimp for their children, for fear of viruses.In fact, the quarantine of frozen food in is now very strict, so everyone can still give it to their children with confidence. is really worried that you can buy it home and wipe the outer packaging with disinfectant alcohol before putting it in the refrigerator. Make sure it is cooked completely when burning.
Zhang Wenhong also said that the probability of being caught by eating imported seafood is lower than that of the air crash!
Finally, I will share with you a little trick:
Generally speaking, gets up early and buys vegetables fresher, and buying vegetables before closing is cheaper . The arrival time of fresh foods is basically before the supermarket and vegetable market opens in the morning. If you want to buy fresh ingredients, get up early and buy them, it is easier to buy fresh and good dishes. In the afternoon or evening, it will be more or less fresh (of course, it cannot be ruled out that some ingredients arrive in the morning, first put them in the warehouse, and then put them on the shelves in batches) .
If you want to buy half-price vegetables, you can buy them when the supermarket closes at night. Braised dishes, pasta, vegetables, etc. are basically bought one free.
In addition, you can buy more fruits and vegetables locally, fresh and affordable.
