Pig's hoof, the front hoof is generally called "pigshou", and the back hoof is called "pig's feet", which is anthropomorphic.
Trotter is rich in collagen, which can prevent and treat skin wrinkles, enhance skin elasticity and toughness, and have special significance for delaying aging and promoting growth and development of children. For this reason, people call trotters "beauty food" and "a delicacy similar to a bear's paw."

Like pig trotter, pig trotter is also a guy who can "hold a big mouth". Pig's trotter is rich in collagen, so the cooked trotter is more sticky and greasy, and you will stop after eating a few pieces. The trotters made today are not "sticky", they taste sour, sweet, numb, spicy, and fresh. They are full of elasticity and very Q.
I use the front hoof of a pig, which is commonly known as "pig trotter". The pig's front hoof bones are small, and the natural meat is much plump. And the trotters used today do not have "cramps". After the trotters are cooked, they are repeatedly soaked in clean water to remove the greasiness. The taste of the trotters is very springy. There are many kinds of seasonings, and friends who like them can increase or decrease according to their preferences and taste.

The pig's trotter is delicious, but the raw pig's trotter is not easy to handle at home because it is not good to chop. Therefore, be careful when chopping the trotter, otherwise it is not just the taste of the trotter. It is recommended to buy the boiled trotters, blanch them at home and soak them in clean water. "
