According to legend, in ancient Baoqing Province (now shaoyang area), there were mothers and sons who depended on each other.
The husband died of tuberculosis (tuberculosis), and the son suffered from tuberculosis, which could not be cured after many medical treatments (there were no anti-tuberculosis drugs at that time).
One day, he met a good doctor and asked him to eat more pig blood to supplement nutrition.
And his son's mouth, refusing to eat pig blood alone, the mother cut the pig blood, tofu, pork belly, etc. into a sycamore and mixed them together to make balls, and his son liked to eat.
The balls he makes have gradually become the most characteristic local delicacy - pig blood balls.
The nutrient content per 100 grams of pig blood pills is as follows:
Scientifically made pig blood balls are a delicious dish, although loved by everyone, but their preparation and consumption methods are still exquisite.
In the early years, it was reported that a black-hearted trader smoked his heart and mixed sick and dead pork into pig blood balls to sell into the market.
Such pig blood pills are not only not delicious, but even damage people's health.
Because the quality of pig blood balls cannot be identified with the naked eye, it is best to eat homemade pig blood balls.
In addition, for the consumption of pig blood pills, the following points should also be noted:
First, the production process should be paid attention to
Pig blood pills are a smoked wax product.
Both the "benzopyrene" produced during the smoking process and the smoked substances are already proven carcinogens.
Therefore, it is recommended to use modern instruments and equipment for baking and cooling when making.
Minimize the production of the above substances.
Second, patients with hypertension and other diseases should pay attention
A large amount of salt is added to the process of smoking pig blood balls.
Therefore, pig blood pills are a food with a high amount of hidden salt (sodium content 468.9mg/100g).
For patients with hypertension and chronic renal insufficiency, it is not suitable for eating.
Third, remove the outer black skin and eat
When eating pig blood balls, you can cut off a layer of black skin wrapped on the outside.
Although the taste is a little worse, eating in this way reduces the intake of harmful substances.
Fourth, nutritional supplementation should be balanced
For patients with wasting diseases such as tuberculosis, pig blood balls are a good source of nutrients such as protein and iron.
However, water-soluble vitamins are obviously insufficient.
Therefore, attention should also be paid to the supplementation of nutrients in this regard.
