Someone said: Eat some whole wheat bread in the morning and feel that you won’t be so hungry at noon! Some people also say: the bread tastes soft and has a sweet taste, which is more delicious and healthy than traditional fried dough sticks and soy milk. Some people even say: No matter how stressful the work is, you will feel happy as soon as you eat bread.
As we all know, bread is a food that is roasted after flour is fermented. It not only contains a large amount of carbohydrate , but also rich in trace elements , dietary fiber and other nutrients. is deeply loved by many people because of its soft and delicious taste and sweet taste.
Many friends know that bread is delicious, but they don’t know the “cat” in the bread! For example, some merchants will add a large amount of bread modification agent to bread, which can expand the volume of bread, make the taste of bread softer, and even increase the elasticity of bread.
Generally speaking, the dosage of bread improver is harmless to the body as long as it meets the national standards. , but some businesses will use potassium bromide . This substance is prohibited from being added by the state, but it can make the inner pore structure of the bread very uniform, and the noodles can also contain a certain amount of moisture. This way, the bread will not only taste softer and more elastic.
Let me put it this way, bread modification agents are harmful to the body in the prescribed dosage, but potassium bromate, and eating a little will cause harm to the body. Therefore, Lao Yu has sorted out three types of bread that we cannot eat. If you are a friend who likes to eat bread, for the sake of your own health, you might as well take a look together.
Category 1: Bread containing potassium bromate
Some friends will say: This kind of thing is not allowed to be used in the country. How do you know which breads contain potassium bromate? Don’t worry, since Lao Yu can share it with everyone, he naturally knows it! First of all, the bread is large in size, but the weight is very light. You should pay attention to such bread!
Secondly, look at the cut section of the bread! If the pore structure on the cut surface is large and relatively uniform, the bread is large in volume and light in weight, such bread contains potassium bromate. Generally speaking, these varieties of bread such as baguette , hand-pulled bread, croissant , etc. are most likely to be mixed with potassium bromate.
Think about it, although bread will expand after baking, it will not expand itself to this level like a balloon, especially the pore structure inside the bread. Whether it is machine kneading or artificial, it is impossible to achieve complete consistency when yeast fermentation in the dough. So, when you encounter such bread, remember not to buy it!
Category 2: Bread containing margarine
To be honest, at least half of the bread on the market contains margarine. But some breads are not marked with margarine on the ingredients list. Here Lao Yu talks about the names of the next margarine, such as: vegetable cream, vegetable butter, plant powder, artificial butter , margarine, margarine , shortening , creamer , generation cocoa butter , hydrogenated oil , hydrogenated vegetable oil or refined vegetable oil, etc.
Many friends will say: Isn’t it true that as long as it does not contain trans fat ? wrong! Because, the national standard (GB 28050-2011) stipulates that as long as the content of trans fat in food is ≤0.3g/100g, it can be marked as 0. So, marking it as 0 does not mean there is no trans fat! This substance, long-term consumption, will not cause too many harms to the body!
Tips: Lao Yu is already a parent, so here is a few more words.Some parents or grandparents often buy some pastries for their children. Let’s put it this way, many of these pastries also contain margarine, so before buying, remember to check the ingredients list!
The third category: bread containing a lot of sugar
It is said that bread is healthy, and this kind of bread is baked in advance by just using flour, water yeast and a little salt! Many friends, if you ask her to eat 50 grams of sugar a day, they will say that this is unhealthy, but they don’t know that the bread they eat every day has long included these 50 grams of sugar.
Generally speaking, bread containing less than 7% sugar per 100 grams of flour is called saltwater bread; while most edible breads have a sugar content of between 10% and 20%. So, when buying bread, remember to buy one with less sugar content. Speaking of this, another friend will ask: How to see how much sugar is contained in noodles?
In fact, it is very simple. The more ingredients are in the ingredients list of all foods, the higher the position is. When buying bread, look at the ranking of sugar in the ingredients list and you will know whether you put more or less!
- Lao Yu said -
Finally, Lao Yu talked again: When buying bread, if you don’t want to buy the three types of bread mentioned above, you must check the bread ingredients list. If it is made and sold on time, then you must check whether it meets the first description. If it meets the requirements, it is not recommended to buy it! Because, the second and third types are not very important to eat less occasionally, but the first type is not enough! I am greedy Lao Yu, thank you for watching, thank you!
