Meat Seasoning Powder

以動物角蛋白製成的肉味調味粉，共有雞、豬、山羊三種，每一罐只使用單一種動物的毛。原料經水解後與糖一同加熱，產生肉類的香氣，並保留各種動物原有的風味。價格依原料在本地的產量而定：雞粉以業務用大包販售，豬粉裝在家用鐵罐中，山羊粉則盛於山羊造型的白瓷罐，帶有濃郁的山羊風味，宜少量使用。

A meat-flavoured seasoning made from animal keratin, available in chicken, pig and goat, with each variety using the feathers or hair of a single animal. The raw material is hydrolysed and heated with sugar to produce a meaty aroma, while retaining the natural character of each animal. Prices follow how much of each animal is raised locally: Chicken Powder comes in bulk catering packs, Pig Powder in household tins, and Goat Powder, rich in its distinctive flavour, in a goat-shaped white porcelain jar, to be used sparingly.

原塊是角蛋白質食品中形態最接近原形食物的一級，價格高於粉狀與壓縮成形的產品。乾燥、未染色的版本為標準款，也是流通量最大的型態。輕而蓬鬆，表面霧面，帶有細密的海綿狀孔隙。各部位只以材料的深淺與光滑度區分，同一品項每一塊形狀相同。不同廠商的產品在口感與色澤上略有差異，原料類別與必需胺基酸含量皆依法標示於包裝，可自行比較選購。

Of all keratein foods, the block comes closest in form to whole food, and it is priced above powdered and pressed products. The dried, undyed version is the standard, and the form sold in the largest volume. Light and airy, with a matte surface and a fine spongy porosity. Its parts are told apart only by the shade and smoothness of the material, and every piece of the same item has the same shape. Texture and colour vary slightly between makers; raw material category and essential amino acid content are labelled on every pack as required by law, so buyers can compare for themselves.
