Extremely delicious and precious part of the pig but is "ignored" by 90% of Vietnamese people

Pork is a popular food, used to make many attractive dishes.

However, many people do not know that the most delicious part of the pig is the crescent bone.

Because most sellers know this valuable part of meat and keep it to stew bones or make soup for their families, customers rarely know about it.

The sickle bone of the pig is mainly cartilage so it is very crispy, soft and sweet.

The crescent bone is located in the front leg of the pig, it is the connection between the tibia and the fan bone. This bone has a curved shape similar to a crescent, mainly cartilage so it is very crispy, soft, and sweet to eat.

Crescent bones are rich in collagen, calcium, protein and vitamins. Regularly eating pork cartilage, especially this part, can promote bone growth, prevent osteoporosis and enhance immunity. Especially women with poor health and want to beautify their skin should eat this food.

The crescent bone is delicious in any dish, especially grilled. In addition, this part can also be used to stew soup or stir-fry vegetables, both dishes are fragrant and crispy.

The crescent bone is extremely rich in protein and water-soluble nitrogen extracts, providing nutrients to the body.

Collagen supply

Nutrition experts say that pig cartilage (or cow cartilage, chicken cartilage...) is a food source that provides abundant collagen, supporting strong muscles and joints.

Collagen is a substance that accounts for 80% of bone structure along with calcium and accounts for 50% of the composition of human cartilage.

As people age, the amount of collagen in the body decreases and leads to many consequences.

Supplementing collagen through eating foods rich in this substance such as animal cartilage has the effect of limiting the appearance and supporting the treatment of bone and joint diseases, slowing down the aging process.

Provide protein

The crescent bone is extremely rich in protein and water-soluble nitrogen extract, including a variety of proteins, which can provide rich and high-quality nutrients for the body's major functions.

In addition, the sickle bone also contains many other important nutrients that help supplement the body's essential substances. This part of the pig is also very valuable in maintaining health.

For growing children, cartilage can be a wonderful medicine, helping them develop healthy bones, promoting them to be taller and have stronger bones.

Notes when eating sickle bones

Pork cartilage and sickle bone are parts that contain a lot of calcium and phosphorus and many nutrients necessary for the human body, but eating too much is not good because it is not easy to digest. Therefore, you should only eat 1-2 times a week.

Patients with stomach diseases and digestive and dental problems need to simmer the sickle bone until soft, the cooking time needs to be longer than other parts of meat.
