Pig blood

Pig blood is also called blood tofu, but in Guangdong it is usually called pig red, which is very auspicious. Pig blood is a very cheap healthy food. It is high in protein, iron, zinc, cobalt, etc., and low in fat. Therefore, it has the effects of strengthening the physical fitness, nourishing the blood and beauty, preventing hyperlipidemia, and delaying aging.

In Guangdong, the most common way to eat pig blood is to cook it into pig blood soup. The ingredients are very simple. Pig blood is boiled with green onions, ginger, coriander, and white pepper powder, and it becomes a bowl of hot and spicy soup. You can find pig blood soup in almost every stall selling beef offal. Drinking a bowl of it in the cool or cold season will really warm your heart. Of course, if you make pig blood soup at home, you can also add some tofu, leeks, Chinese cabbage, bean sprouts, spinach, etc. to make the taste richer. In addition to Guangdong, there are many other pig blood delicacies, and the preparation is more complicated, such as Sichuan Maoxuewang, Northeastern blood sausage, Taiwanese pig blood cake, etc.

Like other foods, no matter how good pig blood is, it should not be consumed in excess, because the blood also contains metabolic waste (including hormones, drugs, urea, etc.), and consuming a large amount of it will also bring a burden to the human body. Nutrition experts recommend that unless there are special needs, it should not be consumed more than twice a week.
