1, mutton identification method
1. Look at the color: after the fake mutton is involved in the pot, the color will turn black, resulting in a lot of floating foam; The real mutton is still pink after being involved in the pot, and there is little foam.
2. Look at the texture: the texture of the fake mutton roll is rough, and there are many lean meats after slicing, which is a large piece; The real mutton roll is delicate in texture and contains white stripes after slicing.
3. Look fat and thin: fake mutton is generally fat and thin on both sides, separated from each other, separated by hand, and broken into pieces after cooking; The real sheep fat should be a little bit sandwiched in lean meat and distributed naturally and evenly.
If you can't tell the truth from the false, you'll have to taste it yourself. Fake mutton tastes bad in your mouth; The real mutton roll smells good, but it tastes good when chewed.
From the appearance, duck meat is delicate and has few lines, and its white fat is all distributed in one piece, and it will never be distributed in lean meat, which means that the lean meat and white fat of duck meat are distinct and will not be mixed together. The fiber of mutton is thick, and white fat and fascia can be clearly seen on its lean meat. After mutton is cooked, the fat condensed from its soup is hard, but the fat condensed from duck meat is soft. In taste, the real mutton roll tastes chewy, and the duck meat has fine fiber and tastes tender. In taste, the more real mutton is chewed, the more fragrant it is, but the duck meat roll tastes fishy. At present, there are indeed cottage mutton rolls made of mutton mixed with other meats on the market. If so, the identification method is simpler, and it will disperse as soon as it is washed.

Since 1980s, Zhang Yongfei and other experts have established a flavor additive "JFZ- Semen Platycladi Concentrated Feed" by means of traditional Chinese medicine according to the principle of "spleen governs the body" in Huangdi Neijing and modern biomolecule theory, which is composed of Salvia miltiorrhiza, Herba Ephedrae, Semen Platycladi, Folium Platycladi and various beneficial trace elements. After that, 20% mutton was mixed with the daily feed made of bean cake and corn, and it was formally fed for 50 days. The ordinary mutton can be transformed into "Sanjin Bai Bao" high-quality flavor Bai Zi mutton (see the table below), making it not only a delicious food for human beings, but also a medical and health food with the functions of disease resistance, disease prevention, treatment and longevity. It won the second prize of Shanxi Science and Technology Progress Award. Zhongyang Senyuan Company is using this new technology.
Cold winter is the best season to eat mutton. In winter, the yang of the human body is hidden in the body, so the body is prone to cold hands and feet and poor blood circulation. Chinese medicine believes that mutton is sweet but not greasy, warm but not dry, and has the effects of tonifying kidney and strengthening yang, warming middle warmer and dispelling cold, warming qi and blood, appetizing and invigorating spleen. Therefore, eating mutton in winter can not only keep out the cold, but also nourish the body, which is really a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

2. Taboo to eat mutton
1, some patients don't eat mutton.
People who often suffer from erosion of mouth and tongue, red eyes, bitter taste, irritability, dry throat, swollen gums or diarrhea, or people who take Pinellia ternata and Acorus gramineus in traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions should avoid eating mutton.
2, should not be eaten with vinegar.
Sour vinegar has astringent effect, which is not conducive to the growth of yang in the body. Eating with mutton will greatly reduce its warming effect.
3, avoid eating with watermelon.
Eating mutton and then eating watermelon is easy to "hurt your vitality". This is because mutton is sweet and hot, while watermelon is cold and belongs to cold products. After eating, it not only greatly reduces the warming effect of mutton, but also hinders the spleen and stomach.
4, avoid replacing rice with tea.
Tea is the bane of mutton. This is because mutton is rich in protein and tea contains more tannic acid. Drinking tea while eating mutton will produce protein tannic acid, which will weaken the intestinal peristalsis and reduce the moisture in the stool, thus inducing constipation.
5, should not be eaten with pumpkin.
It is also recorded in ancient Chinese medicine books that mutton should not be eaten with pumpkin. This is mainly because mutton and pumpkin are warm foods. If you eat together, it is easy to get angry. Similarly, when cooking mutton, you should also put less spicy condiments such as pepper, pepper, ginger, clove and fennel.
