Pig ears are a very delicious food, and many people like to eat pig ears. However, due to the relatively large demand, it has been in short supply. So many people "play their creative ability" and make artificial pig ears for sale.

What are artificial pig ears?

Artificial pig ears are things in the shape of pig ears synthesized by artificial chemicals. Generally, most artificial pig ears are made of plastic and gelatin. We know about plastics, but what is gelatin? Gelatin is the hydrolysate of collagen, which is a high protein without fat and cholesterol. It is a natural thickener. Generally, gelatin needs to be added when making dessert or jelly. Usually gelatin is made of cooked animal bones, skins and tendons.

How to identify artificial pig ears

Generally speaking, you only need to observe carefully to find out whether it is a real pig ear or an artificial pig ear.

1, observe the line with your eyes. The real pig ear has muscle layer and lean meat, and the texture of the texture tissue is very clear, and obvious fat particles and capillaries can be seen. If it is an artificial pig ear, there is no texture on it, and there may be counterfeiters who put artificial hair on it to confuse buyers.

2. smell the smell with your nose. Generally, artificial pig ears are brightly colored, but they smell bad after chemical treatment.

3. use fire. If you suspect that you have bought an artificial pig ear, you can take a pig ear and bake it under the fire. If you find that the pigskin is concentrated and no oil drops come out, then this pigear is artificial.

I believe everyone knows how to distinguish artificial pig ears. Remind everyone that eating artificial pig ears is not only harmful to health, but also very harmful. Don't buy artificial pig ears cheaply, so as not to endanger your health.
