Why does giò have holes?
Delicious giò is a smooth piece with a slightly wet feeling when cut, with many pores on the surface. A smooth giò indicates that it is made from tasty meat, while a wet texture indicates that it is made from fresh meat.
The pores on the surface are created by trapping air inside the ground meat used to make giò. When cooked, this layer of air will find a way to escape, creating small holes, which also proves that giò does not contain additives.
Therefore, giò with pores will taste better than the dense type.
How to differentiate between delicious giò and giò with additives
Delicious giò
- Delicious giò has a creamy white color, slightly pinkish.

- Delicious giò has a sweet and slightly crispy taste. When eating delicious giò, there will be no unusual chewiness, dryness, residue, or off-flavors.
Identifying giò with added additives
