Introduction: Pig tendon refers to the muscle on the upper part of the pig’s leg, which is covered by a thin layer of membrane and contains tendons. It has a moderate hardness and regular texture, making it ideal for braising. A whole pig tendon weighs approximately one pound. Pig tendon meat is rich in protein, with amino acid composition similar to that required by the human body. It also contains a good amount of iron, making it a great source for blood supplementation. Good quality pig tendon meat should have a pale or bright red color, while unsafe meat tends to be dark red or purplish-red.
