I. Core Product Advantages
Rooted in Chaoshan’s century-old culinary heritage, this product is defined by its signature chewy texture and rich collagen content—the hallmark of authentic beef tendon balls. Crafted from premium beef and beef tendon via professional mechanical pounding (following artisanal standards), it contains no carrageenan, preservatives, or other harmful additives. Blending nutritional value (abundant collagen and protein) with a satisfyingly springy, toothsome bite, it is ideal for hot pots, noodle soups, family meals, and commercial catering scenarios.
II. Raw Material Parameters
- Beef & Beef Tendon Blend: A precise ratio of 7:3 (beef to beef tendon) is used—beef is sourced from the hind legs of 3-4-year-old free-range yellow cattle (lean meat rate ≥95%, fat content ≤5%, protein ≥20g/100g), while beef tendon is selected from fresh cattle Achilles tendons (collagen content ≥25g/100g, moisture content ≤65%). This combination ensures the balls’ iconic chewiness and nutritional richness.
- Water Standard: Purified water complying with GB 5749 “Sanitary Standard for Drinking Water” is used throughout production to prevent impurities from altering the product’s natural flavor.
- Auxiliary Material Quality: Sun-dried sea salt (iodine content 20-30mg/kg) enhances umami; high-quality potato starch (viscosity ≥1200cP) improves shaping and maintains elasticity; food-grade phosphate (≤0.5g/kg, in line with national standards) helps retain moisture and tenderize the texture.

V. Storage Requirements
- Frozen Storage: Unopened bags must be stored in a freezer at ≤-18℃—shelf life is 12 months. After opening, repackage unused balls in airtight containers/bags and return to freezing; consume within 1 month to avoid texture degradation.
- Refrigerated Storage: Not recommended for long-term storage. For temporary thawing, place frozen balls in a 0-4℃ refrigerator for 4-6 hours; consume within 24 hours of thawing (do not refreeze, as this will break down collagen and cause sogginess).
- Room Temperature Storage: Maximum 2 hours at 20-25℃. Beyond this, bacterial growth accelerates, leading to spoilage and potential food safety risks—discard if left out too long.
- Precautions: Store separately from pungent foods (e.g., garlic, onions) to avoid flavor transfer; transport via cold chain (maintaining ≤-18℃) to preserve texture and freshness.
VI. Customization Solutions
