What is the difference white meat red meat?

Answer 1

Red meat refers to meat that appears red before cooking like pork, beef, turkey and ostrich, while white meat refers to light-colored meat, such as fish, seafood and chicken. The different colors are based on the different locations and uses of the muscles. Dark meats occur in the legs, which are used to support the weight of the animals while they move. These muscles are designed to develop endurance for long-term use and contains a large amount of red blood cells which carries oxygen from the lungs to the muscles. In contrast the white meat, generally found within the breasts of the birds, are used for quick bursts of power which requires little of the meat-darkening myoglobin. Note that this holds for ground-based bird like chickens and turkeys - birds which use their chest muscles for flight (such as geese and ducks) have dark meat throughout their bodies.
