The meat quality of mutton is similar to that of beef, but it has a stronger meat flavor, is more tender than pork, and has less fat and cholesterol than pork and beef.
Since most mutton on the market is not differentiated into parts, many restaurants deliberately select fattier parts to sell in order to reduce costs. Therefore, when dining out, the fat intake of mutton is often higher than that of beef or pork.
Excessive consumption of this kind of animal fat may put pressure on the cardiovascular system. Therefore, you should not eat too much mutton outside, and eat it with caution on hot days or for patients with fever.

One day, I suddenly wanted to eat mutton, just because I was tired of eating beef, pig, and chicken, but they were not sold in most supermarkets and markets, so I had to search online.
After many evaluations, I found this Taiwanese sheep’s domestically produced freshly slaughtered mutton. I placed an order and bought some of each part. After waiting for the goods, I stewed it for a cup. I was shocked when I ate it. There was no sheep smell at all. I would like to say How on earth did it become so exaggerated?
After reading the description, it turned out that they had a physical store. The next day, I invited my family to rush to the site to try it out. Even the ordinary mutton shabu-shabu didn't have any odor at all. It was simply outrageous!
Before I left, I asked the proprietress why the mutton in your house didn't have the smell of mutton. She told me that the sheep they used were eunuch sheep castrated at birth, which is different from the general adult mutton outside, or one year older. Just castrated.
Therefore, the meat exchange rate of the sheep they sell is very poor. They are all very small and do not grow very big, but they can have no mutton smell at all.
This is the first time in my life that I have eaten mutton that has no mutton smell at all. Every time I eat it, I always feel that something is missing. For example, after making soup, if you don’t taste it carefully, you will only know that it is broth. But I couldn’t tell what kind of meat it tasted like, it was so exaggerated and tasteless!
Generally, adult mutton has a strong smell, which is not acceptable to everyone. This is why most people don’t like mutton. It also puts a heavier burden on the gastrointestinal tract, so it is not suitable for people with poor stomach and spleen function. Human consumption.
Therefore, when the general store prepares mutton, it may undergo special processing or add certain ingredients to reduce the mutton smell.
If you are like me and are tired of eating beef, pig, and chicken, and want to try mutton without any smell, I highly recommend them to you!
You can go to physical stores to eat mutton-shabu-shabu. If you want to make soup, I would recommend buying it home and making it yourself. The broth cooked in a pressure cooker will be full of gelatin. After all, the store just uses an ordinary iron pot for you!
In the past two months, many of my customers must have tasted the mutton soup I made, which has no mutton smell at all and is so sweet that it’s overpowering!
