I cooked a chicken breast and while i cut it in half, i noticed that no blood came out of it. Since it is a muscle shouldn’t there be blood inside, no matter how clean the outside it?
In: Biology
Packaged meat is washed and drained of blood before it is packaged.
Muscles are not sealed systems. All the parts of your body that require blood are threaded with tiny blood vessels that help carry it there. A standard part of butchering any animal is hanging the animal up to let all of the blood drain.
If you were to kill a chicken and extract the chicken breast yourself, it would be plenty bloody.
