【Shandong】Pork skin jelly
Overview
Pigskin jelly is rich in collagen. Eating more can remove wrinkles and improve beauty. Pigskin contains protein, fat and dermatan B sulfate, which can soften blood vessels, anti-coagulation, promote hematopoietic function and skin injury healing, and has health and beauty effects. The hematopoietic function of its gelatin is better than that of donkey-hide gelatin. Regular consumption can increase the hemoglobin content and the number of white blood cells and resist the formation of thrombosis. Families in the north will cook some pork skin jelly with pig skins before the New Year, and serve it as a New Year dish. Season with soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil when eating. It is a very good cold dish for New Year’s Eve dinner
