We almost eat meat every day, such as chicken wings, lamb, pork neck, etc., which are all delicious delicaries that people often eat. But do you know which parts are not edible? The following parts can harm your health, so you should pay attention.
1. The "black skin" of fish should not be eaten.
On both sides of the fish's body cavity, there is a layer of black membrane, which is the most fishy and earthy part, containing a large amount of lipids, lysozyme and other substances.
2. The part on the upper end of the buttocks of poultry such as chickens, ducks, and geese, where the tail feathers grow, is academically called the "bursa of Fabricius". It is a place where lymphoid glands are concentrated. Because the macrophages in the lymphoid glands can engulf bacteria and viruses, even carcinogens, but cannot decompose them, the poultry "tail" is a "warehouse" that harbors dirt and filth.
3. When eating, you should easily remove the gray, yellow, or dark-red meat lumps from places like the pig's neck, which are called "meat dates", because these places contain many bacteria and viruses, and eating them can easily lead to infection.
4. There is a Chinese saying: "A ten-year-old chicken head is more poisonous than arsenic."
Why is the older the chicken, the more toxic its head becomes? Medical experts analyze that the reason is that chickens ingest harmful heavy metals while pecking for food.
5. Do not eat the skin of chicken or duck necks, nor the trachea.
These parts contain a lot of high cholesterol, so it is best not to eat these parts.
6. The "three glands" of livestock should not be eaten.
The thyroid, adrenal glands, and diseased lymph glands on animals such as pigs, cattle, and sheep are three types of "physiologically harmful organs".
7. Sheep "suspended tendon".
Sheep "suspended tendon" (also known as "hoof white pearl") is generally round,串粒状 (串粒状 is a bit tricky, maybe "bead-like" or "grape-like"? Let's go with "bead-like"), which is a tissue that has undergone pathological changes in the sheep's hoof.
8. The white inguinal glands located under the skin on both sides of the external genitalia, the brown inguinal glands next to them, and the rectal glands located on the two walls of the rectum are extremely fishy and smelly. If they are not removed when eating, the rabbit meat will be difficult to swallow.
