Any diff between red and white meat?
-
How do we tell red meat and white meat other than colour? any nutritional difference between them? is fish white meat while salmon is red?

To differentiate between red and whitle meat is not merely on the color perceived by the eyes although for most of them you can. The actual definition of these meat is the myoglobin(a kind of oxygen transporting protein found in animals similar to the Haemoglobin in our blood which makes it look red) Hb is found in blood while myoglobin is found in muscles. The lifestyle of the animal will give us an idea what 'color' its meat is.....for instance Cow produce red meat because it has slow movement and myoglobin is there to store the excess oxygen needeed to produce ATP(energy) for the slow movement. Chicken has white meat as it has relatively fast movement in the case of running about so ATP production is higher rate and oxygen is constantly being used up and no need to be stored up...little amount of myoglobin renders the meat white. Most fishes are whitle meat even for salmon, pork etc and beef, mutton are some examples of red meat.
Red meat as i said are high in myoglobin (and so high concentration of Iron) and is good for people who need more iron. It is also higher in proteins since the creatin present are higher. -
Thanks
So is pork red meat?
If so, does it go well with red wine?
And does white meat salmon go well with non-red wine? -
Red meats should go withred wine while seafood should go with white wine..Originally posted by Sturtles:Thanks

correct me if i'm wrongOriginally posted by NeonTetra:pigs run fast so u say is it red or white meat?
pork is white, so is salmon.
escargots and turtles are red.
I would think that all land animals are white meat since they can move reasonably fast.
tigers, horses must be white meat then...
maybe I just misunderstood your previous explanation. -
porks are indeed white meat..along wid fish ....
