How much is a yellow skin now? Can I eat it? How do you tell the difference?

Cowhide is the skin of animals and cattle. It is often used in handicrafts because of its exquisite leather, firm and durable leather. So how much is a piece of scalper skin? Can I eat it? How can you tell the true from the false? I learned from the leather market that the price of unprocessed rawhide is about 300 to 400. The specific price depends on the quality and size of your leather. Rawhide processed into cooked skin (that is, semi-finished products) the price is one grade higher than before, but there is also a good difference.

Can you eat cowhide?

Cowhide is as rich in collagen as pigskin, but the texture of cowhide is tough, and some people find it too difficult to chew and taste not good enough. In fact, there are many ways to eat cowhide. For example, fried cowhide with spiced celery, crystal cowhide jelly, brine cowhide and so on.

How can cowhide tell the true from the false?

1. The method of lighting with fire is the most simple and direct. The smell of dermis kindled is similar to that of hair. After burning, there is no knot in one's heart, and one can pinch it with fingers. After burning, the fake skin gives out a pungent smell and forms a pimple after burning.

2. Looking with the eyes is mainly used to distinguish the types of leather and the quality of leather grains, to observe that there are more obvious pores and patterns on the surface of the dermis, and there is a layer of textiles on the reverse side of the synthetic leather as the base plate. this textile base plate is used to increase its tensile strength, while the reverse side of the dermis does not have this layer of textiles, this identification is the most simple and practical way.

3, touch the leather surface with your hands, if there is a smooth, soft, plump and elastic feeling is real leather. Synthetic leather feels like plastic, with poor recovery, and the thickness of the folded pattern is more or less the same.

4. Natural leather has a strong fur smell, which is more obvious even after treatment, while artificial leather products have a plastic taste and no fur taste.

5. Cowhide has a certain thickness and fastness, which is characterized by small pores, uniform and compact distribution, plump leather surface, stronger leather plate than other leather, firm and elastic feel.

Attached: first layer skin and second layer skin

The first layer of skin: it is directly processed from the raw skin of cattle, or after depilation, it is transversely cut into upper and lower layers, and the upper part of the tight fiber tissue is processed into the first layer of cattle skin. The first layer is composed of a dense and thin fiber layer and a slightly loose excessive layer closely connected with it, which has the characteristics of good strength, elasticity and process plasticity.

Two-layer skin: it is a two-layer part with loose fiber tissue, which is processed by chemical material spraying or covered with PVC and PU film. The second layer of skin has a loose fiber tissue layer, which can be used to make leather goods only after spraying chemical raw materials or polishing. it maintains the characteristics of natural elasticity and process plasticity, and its thickness is the same as that of the first layer.
