Pig keel refers to the bone in the middle of the pig's back, which contains a large amount of high-quality protein and a variety of trace elements. Often and appropriately consumed, it can nourish the yin and tonify the kidneys, tonify the qi and replenish calcium and nourish the blood.
The keel is particularly lean, has a low fat content, and contains a lot of bone marrow. After cooking, these soft and juicy bone marrow are released. After consumption, it can increase bone density and make our bones stronger; it can also enhance the hematopoietic function of human bone marrow, thereby playing a role in delaying aging.
The method of pork keel is also varied, which can be boiled or stewed in soup, which is extremely delicious and nutritious. These June days are the rainy season again, hot, stuffy and wet, until people are physically and mentally tired and weak. Drink some keel broth to replenish your energy and fuel your health!
The keel soup is actually very simple, but everyone's approach is probably different. If you want to stew the keel soup is milky and delicious, there are still some small skills. Should the keel be blanched? Is it under cold water or hot water? How can the calcium in the bones be better precipitated?
I bought two pounds of pork keel from the supermarket, paired with a small piece of kelp, and added a carrot. Kelp is known as "longevity dish", is a low-fat low-calorie food, can supplement calcium and lower blood pressure, but also to prevent obesity, is really a good and harmless health food.

The method is super simple, while looking at the phone while doing it can be done, come with me to make this delicious home-cooked health soup!
