Understanding Meat Colors: What Your Steak's Hue Reveals About Its Quality
A recent video from butcher Horacio Vallejos, known as 'tecnicasdecortes,' sheds light on why meat can exhibit three distinct colors, offering valuable insights for consumers. According to Vallejos, dark-colored meat is often a result of prolonged stress experienced by the animal before slaughter. This stress elevates the meat's pH, leading to a dry surface and reduced juiciness upon consumption. Conversely, pale meat indicates that the animal underwent a short period of stress, resulting in poor water retention and a drier texture. The most sought-after meat, characterized by an intense pink hue, comes from animals that received proper care and treatment before slaughter. These cuts maintain a neutral pH, ensuring excellent juiciness and flavor, making them the preferred choice for consumers. Vallejos emphasizes that understanding these color variations can help consumers make more informed decisions when purchasing meat.
