　　Yibei Xiang Pig

　　The Huanjiang Yibei Xiang Pig is produced in a specific geographical area in the northeastern part of Huanjiang County and has unique characteristics: piglets weaned at two months old can be used to make roasted suckling pigs, cured suckling pigs, or served simply boiled. The pigs have thin skin, fine bones, tender meat that is neither greasy nor slippery, and a deliciously fragrant taste, making them very popular among people.

　　Huanjiang Xiang Pig contains as many as 20 types of amino acids required by the human body, all present in amounts more than twice that of ordinary pigs: for example, the glutamic acid content is eight times that of ordinary pigs, the lecithin content—which contributes to brain health—is over four times higher, and the protein content is 17.82%, the highest among ordinary pigs; the fat content is only 4.3%, more than four times lower than that of ordinary pigs, giving the meat a sweet, rich flavor that is delicious and never tiresome, highly beneficial to human health and potentially contributing to longevity.
