Introduction: Pork spleen is a narrow and long organ with a deep red color. Its cross-section appears triangular, and the surface is flat. The pork spleen is located on the left side of the pig’s stomach, adjacent to the kidneys on the back and the liver on the front side. Pork spleen is a high-protein, low-fat, low-cholesterol, and low-calorie food. It contains rich amounts of iron, zinc, copper, and other trace elements, as well as various vitamins such as B1 and B2. It also contains a variety of amino acids and peptides that are beneficial for human health. Fresh pork spleen should have a light brown color, be glossy, firm in texture, elastic, and have a slight odor. Decayed or spoiled pork spleen will have a grayish-green color, loose texture, poor elasticity, and a foul smell. Abnormal pork spleens, such as swollen, atrophied, or those with spots and lumps of various colors, should not be consumed.
