How to choose a meat
Most often, chops are prepared from pork or beef. Each hostess can independently choose the kind of meat that she and her family members like best.
Pork is rich in B vitamins, as well as zinc, iron, potassium and magnesium. Pork fat contains arachidonic acid, unsaturated fatty acids and selenium. People suffering from various cardiovascular diseases should prefer pork to all types of meat.
Beef is rich in connective tissue protein, which is very useful for the health of blood vessels, joints and skin. The disadvantages of beef include the fact that it is digested much longer and harder than pork. In addition, it contains a large number of nitrogen-containing compounds that adversely affect metabolic processes in the body.
Specialists advise you to use different types of meat so that the body receives all the necessary substances. Beef can be replaced with more dietary and healthy veal.
Neck chops, ham, and other soft parts of pork and beef carcasses are great for chops.
