According to archaeologists, around 7500 BC in the Neolithic period, humans in the Middle East began to domesticate and raise birds. And chickens are just one of the objects of their first attempt. Compared to wild birds, domesticated chickens have a noticeable change. First of all, they become fuller and their flesh is fuller. Secondly, their egg-laying cycle has increased significantly, providing people with more sources of food.
Once upon a time, a "clucking" chirp woke people up in the early morning, and chickens also became the spokesperson of the countryside. Today's domesticated flocks of chickens are all over the world, and they are closely linked to the fate of mankind. From nutritious protein to delicious meat, chickens bring indispensable food to humans.
The difference between native chickens and feed chickens:
Native chickens, also known as farm chickens or grass chickens, this kind of native chickens, because they grow in the vast natural environment, they enjoy fresh air and natural food, so they are of high quality, rich in nutrition, delicious in taste, and are the first choice for people to pursue a healthy diet.
The feed chickens are kept in intensive farms, artificially controlling their range of activities, growth rate and diet, aiming to pursue large-scale breeding benefits. These feed chickens grow up in an artificial breeding environment, eating additives and feed, so the meat is skinny and skinny, and the nutritional value is relatively low. Nonetheless, fodder chickens also have their value, and they are widely used in the supply of meat due to their high yield.
Native chickens and feed chickens have their own strengths and adapt to different environments and needs. However, there is a lot of price difference between them, and you must learn to distinguish them when buying, otherwise you will lose a lot of money if you spend more.
The fried chicken, hamburgers, chicken pots, yellow stewed chickens and other foods we usually eat are all processed with feed chickens. Because the cost of feed chickens is low, the merchant profits are large.
In addition to the low cost, the meat of feed chickens is tender, which is also one of the reasons for the popularity of feed chickens. Therefore, these merchants will never choose to use local chicken, unless it is those merchants who stew chicken soup, choose to use local chicken, and the stewed chicken soup will be more delicious and more nutritious.
The long-term stocking of local chickens has led to the fact that the fat in its body is relatively rich and the meat is relatively woody, so it is suitable for making chicken soup. Such a local chicken soup, if you drink it, you don't make up for it, but it also nourishes people.
In the countryside, every festival and New Year's Day, chickens will be killed to celebrate. Every time a chicken is killed, the child will always watch from the sidelines, and every time he will see the butter in the belly of the native chicken, which is impossible for feed chickens. It only takes dozens of days for feed chickens to mature for sale, so it is impossible for so much butter to be produced in the body.
Native chickens are free-range in the countryside, eating all kinds of wild vegetables and small insects in the mountains, and sometimes they are often fed with leftovers, and the growth rate is slow. As a result, a lot of butter often accumulates in the body of local chickens.
Many people don't know that when killing chickens, a piece of "butter" in the stomach is often thrown away, but they don't know that it is a treasure, and it is a pity to throw it away. The chicken juice sold in the supermarket is actually boiled out of this butter.
What exactly is butter in a chicken belly?
The "butter" in the belly of the chicken is actually fat, but it is not ordinary fat.
This butter is made from the fat of chickens for a long time, so it is only found in local chickens. The longer it lasts, the larger the butter produced and the higher the nutritional value. Because the local chicken eats wild vegetables and small insects in the mountains, and even eats some Chinese herbs, some of which will be concentrated in the chicken, so the nutritional value is very high.
Moreover, this butter contains more unsaturated fatty acids, which has the effect of reducing blood lipids and cholesterol, and is conducive to the health of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Of course, butter is also fat after all, which is high in calories and should not be overconsumed. The butter in the chicken belly is very rare, if you find butter when processing the chicken, it is recommended to save it, boil it into chicken fat, similar to lard, and solidify it to preserve.
