Product introduction
Tendons, also known as knee tendons, are tendons on the inside of beef. This part has a shape similar to the letter Y, filtered out from the knee joints of the front and hind legs of the cow. Because there are only 4 legs, the whole cow can only get 4 parts of the letter Y, the quantity is small, so the price is relatively high. Currently, the source of our cows is limited, the number of Y letters is rare, so many people have come to import Y-shaped beef tendons with similar quality but cheaper price.
Nutritional value
Tendons seem to be an unimportant part, many people intend to remove this part in the cooking process because it is too tough and difficult to swallow. But really after knowing the nutrients contained in tendons, perhaps many people will have to rethink the use of tendons related dishes.
- Provides a perfect source of collagen for the skin and body. The skin and especially tendons contain a very large amount of collagen, from 42% to provide enough for your body.
- Protein: Although the structure and shape are not like beef, tendons also bring a large amount of protein, not inferior to beef, helping the body to fully load the protein needed for a long day of work and tiring activities.
- Fat: Although this is a substance that many people, especially overweight people, should avoid. However, if you abstain from all fats, the body will not be able to absorb nutrients fully and effectively, as well as the muscles and joints will not be lubricated. Therefore, you should still eat tendons once a week - foods that contain quite a lot of fat for the body to provide the most complete nutrition.
