Preface
Chicken as the mainland second only to pork meat source, by the majority of families love, it is not only cheap, the dishes are also very delicious, whether it is steamed, fried, stewed, boiled chicken can always occupy a place, but we usually buy chicken in the vegetable market, often can find a piece of "butter" in the stomach.
There are different opinions about this piece of "butter", some people say that this cannot be eaten, but some people say that this is a "treasure", so can this be eaten? What is this piece of butter?
"Butter" in the belly of the chicken
After checking the information, it was found that this piece of butter is really not simple, and not every chicken can have it, this piece of butter is not a "toxic substance" in some people's mouths but an ordinary piece of fat, and this piece of fat can even be regarded as a symbol of a chicken's identity.
The most common on our market is the white feather chicken, this breed of chicken from birth to into the market only takes 40 days, fast forming, low breeding cost by farmers love, this breed of chickens generally do not appear in the body of "butter" because they eat feed, only need to ensure the most basic nutrition is enough.
Most of the chickens with butter in the body are native chickens, most of these chickens are free-range, and eat some high-fat grains every day, these grains accumulate in the body, butter will be formed, when the white feather chicken has reached the age of slaughter, the butter in the body of the native chicken has just begun to form.
Therefore, people who know how to buy chicken, look at this piece of "butter" to know what the quality of this chicken is, so this piece of butter can not only be eaten, but also a piece of essence, eating this piece of butter can form trans fatty acids in the body, which has the effect of beauty and beauty, and can also improve their own immunity.
As for why some people say why this piece of butter can't be eaten, in fact, there is a reason, this piece of butter is not suitable for all people, if you have high blood lipids and high cholesterol, this piece of butter is not an exaggeration for you to be "poison".
Or maybe I have eaten it once, but because the method is wrong, the taste is very fishy, so I think this piece of butter cannot be eaten, so how to cook this piece of butter correctly?
Most people use this piece of butter to make soup with chicken, generally if you only use chicken to make soup, the finished soup is white, which looks very light, but if you put in this piece of butter to make chicken soup with full color and flavor, and there will be a layer of light yellow fat on the surface, it looks very nutritious.
Misconceptions of "butter".
After many people understand this piece of butter, they will always regard this as an indicator when choosing chicken, thinking that the quality of chicken with butter is high, and some people use this indicator to judge whether they are buying local chicken, this method is actually not advisable, although it is easier to have butter in local chicken, but it cannot be judged by this point alone.
Although the white-feathered chickens are said to eat a fixed feed every day, and the molding period is relatively short, it does not mean that butter will not grow in their bodies.
The method of judging is also very simple, the color of the butter in the body of the general free-range chicken is a very healthy yellow, as for why it is yellow, the main reason is that the feed used may contain a large amount of carotene, and over time this color is formed, although the white feather chicken will also form "butter" but the color is very different, this is generally more white.
And there will be a market where there is demand, some unscrupulous traders in order to be able to better cater to the market, will feed some ordinary breeds of chickens with a large number of hormones, with artificial means to quickly mature, this kind of chicken looks no different from ordinary chickens, butter looks more "full" If you pursue "butter" too much, it is likely to fall into the trap of consumption.
But don't be particularly worried, the mainland's regulations on food safety are becoming more and more strict and standardized, as long as you go to the formal way to buy this can be largely avoided this situation, but in recent years, there are very few chickens with "butter", why is this?
Disappearing "Chicken Fat"
In the past, when there were more rural areas, basically every household in the north would raise a few chickens, especially the hen was the most popular, because the economic value brought by the hen was much higher than that of the rooster, and the rooster could only be sold, and the hen could not only buy but also lay eggs.
At that time, a very interesting phenomenon was formed, that is, a family may not be able to afford to eat vegetables, but there are too many eggs to eat, which also reflects the frequency of hens laying eggs from the side, if the nutrition is sufficient, it can basically be done 1 day, if the nutrition can not keep up with the possibility of 2 days, it is also possible that the hen will not lay eggs in order to ensure that she does not lay eggs.
So at that time, in order to increase production, the hen was very careful, eating and drinking well every day, when the rooster was killed for a round, as long as the hen could still lay eggs, his position would not be shaken, but once the hen would not lay eggs, then he should also "retire".
People will take him to the mall to sell, this kind of "enjoyed" old hen usually has a lot of butter in the body, in addition to this situation, every winter and summer is also the peak of this kind of hen slaughter, because hens do not produce eggs all year round.
The weather is too cold and hot will make the hens "strike", in order to have a better cycle these chickens will be brought to the market for culling, and now, this market is gradually being eliminated, why is this?
First of all, there is the cost problem, in the past, there was no way to raise chickens, in order to survive and raise chickens, and now there is no need to worry about the problem of not being full, and the cost of raising chickens has become higher.
But now the proportion of farming has been greatly reduced, and the cost of feed is also one thing, and even if you raise, the energy spent every day is only the value of eggs and hens themselves, these things have been greatly reduced since the introduction of white feather chickens in the mainland, so the local chickens are completely cost-effective from this aspect.
And now there are many rural areas that prohibit private large-scale breeding, which is also part of the regulated market, because individual breeding is not easy to manage, chaos is frequent, and even pollutes the surrounding environment, so under the restrictions of various aspects, there are fewer and fewer individuals raising local chickens.
And with the mainland in recent years began to engage in infrastructure construction, many rural areas have been demolished and reconstructed, from the former bungalow single yard, into a community, in the community to raise chickens is certainly not good, dirty and messy not to say, the noise of the chicken will not be complained by the neighbors, so the breeding of local chickens retail households have gradually withdrawn from the market.
But in recent years, the wave of breeding native chickens has begun again, the purpose of introducing white feather chickens in the mainland is to saturate the chicken market, and then the price will be completely knocked down, the advantages of these white feather chickens needless to say are fast, low cost, high meat yield, but the disadvantages are equally obvious.
The meat quality on their bodies is far inferior to that of free-range chickens, and the nutritional value is not as good as that, so now many people have begun to return to the "primitive" and began to find a place to breed local chickens, and these local chickens are not worried about buying in the market at all, and there are even many restaurants rushing to ask for them.
And with the rise of the Internet, a lot of new models have been derived, I don't know if you have ever brushed this kind of live broadcast room, after you give the anchor some gifts, you will have your own local chicken online, and then after raising, they will slaughter the meat and mail it to you in a unified "cloud chicken" model.
This is actually the "atavistic" phenomenon of the market, when the market is scarce, the saturation of the market is always the primary goal, when the market begins to saturate, quality becomes the only differentiator.
