The Red Juice in Red Meat From the Grocery Store Isn't Really Blood...


(Informational)
If you believe that the raw meat juice is blood
then that is where you are sadly mistaken my friends.
The red juice is actually the mixture of water and protein and myoglobin.
What is myoglobin?
Myoglobin is a common protein which has the ability to store oxygen in muscle cells.
Myoglobin has high level of red pigment so the more that is added the redder the meat.
Red meat gives an appearance that it is fresh.
Giving the meat a "fresh" appearance allows the grocery store to sell more.
