How to quickly tell whether pork is fresh or not?

Because sometimes some pork is thawed at low temperature, it may not lose much water, so it may be difficult to distinguish it only from the appearance. Here are three tips for you:

1, touch humidity method. Generally, no matter what kind of meat is thawed, the surface meat will leave a wound after thawing. After that, even if you dry the water and sell it, you can feel the water by touching the surface of the meat with your hand and pressing it gently. This kind of meat must be thawed with frozen pork, and it is not recommended to buy it.

2, pulling meat method. Generally, no matter how the meat is thawed, as long as it is frozen and thawed, it will be damaged. If there is no obvious moisture by hand, you can try to pull a piece of meat slightly by hand. If the meat is easy to pull open, then this meat is definitely not good meat, because the meat quality of fresh pork is generally tight, and it can't be pulled open by hand, let alone slightly.
