In the autumn and winter season, the temperature in the mountains is gradually getting cooler. The days when there is a gust of autumn wind and a shower, it rains in the east and drys in the west, and there is a rainbow belt in the middle, it is also far away from us. On the contrary, instead, it is endless harvesting and harvesting.
As the climate gets cooler, the work of pickled products during the year has also been put on the agenda. Every household is preparing to eat spicy and sour pickled vegetables and pickled meats in the coming year. Especially the pickling of pickled vegetables and pickled vegetables has become the highlight of every household's daily work.
In rural areas, pickled vegetables and pickled products are popular because of their rich taste, good taste and easy to preserve. However, some experts say that although pickled products are delicious, they are not suitable for eating more. What are the benefits and disadvantages of pickled products? Today, I will talk to you.
So, what are the benefits of eating pickled vegetables and pickled products?
1, can better preserve ingredients, extend the shelf life of food, and maintain the original taste of ingredients.
2, Pickled foods may contain some probiotic bacteria, so proper consumption has a certain effect on improving the body's immunity.
3, enhances appetite, especially for some elderly people and children with poor appetite. Eating pickled vegetables or pickled products is conducive to stimulating taste bud perception and improving the transmission of hunger information.
4, For example, active lactic acid bacteria in kimchi can inhibit the growth of spoiled bacteria in the intestines, help digestion, prevent constipation, lower cholesterol, and other effects; the natural plant enzymes produced by sauerkraut during the soaking process have the effect of improving immunity and purifying the digestive system, etc.
So, what are the disadvantages of eating pickled vegetables and pickled products?
1. Pickled vegetables or pickled products contain more nitrite . It will synthesize some carcinogens in the body. If eaten occasionally, it will not have any impact. Long-term consumption will have a huge impact, so pickled products should not be eaten for a long time.
2. During the production process, especially in packaging processing plants, in order to prevent rot and transportation, some pickled products will add too much food additives, which can easily cause harm to the body after consumption.
3. Long-term consumption of pickled vegetables and pickled products will not only increase the metabolic burden of the kidneys, but also easily lead to the occurrence of diseases such as hypertension and , especially for the elderly and children with weak body resistance and immunity.
4. For people with weak digestive ability and newly recovered from serious illness, their gastrointestinal tract is very weak. Eating a large amount of pickled vegetables and pickled products can easily increase the digestive burden of the gastrointestinal tract.
5. For patients who have physical injuries and have not yet recovered, eating pickled vegetables or pickled products for a long time can easily cause ulcers or inflammation in the wound body.
So, who is not suitable for eating pickled vegetables or pickled products?
Category 1,
The salt content in the pickled products is too high, so it will increase the burden on the kidneys.
Class 2, pregnant women
During pregnancy, pregnant women often eat pickled products or pickled vegetables, which may affect the fetus.
Category 3, elderly and children
The kidney function of the elderly and children is incomplete and the digestive system is weak, so it is easy to cause harm to the body.
Category 4, people with poor spleen and stomach
Most pickled products are not easily digested and absorbed by the body, so people with poor stomach should eat less.
So, where does the saying that eating pickled vegetables and pickled products come from?
First of all, Since pickled vegetables are also healthy foods, where does the saying that pickled foods are toxic? Studies have shown that the safety issues of pickled vegetables mainly come from the nitrite produced during pickling. Nitrite is a strong oxidant that does not harm human health within a limited amount. Acute poisoning will only occur when the human body consumes excessive nitrite.
Next, experiments show that the nitrites in pickled vegetables mainly come from the nitrites contained in vegetables. During the pickling process, the nitrate in the vegetables will be decomposed by some bacteria and converted into nitrite. However, as the pickling time extends, nitrite is gradually used or decomposed by bacteria to produce acidic substances such as acetic acid and lactic acid, which can decompose nitrites.
Again, vegetables or pickled products are not high two days before pickling. But between the 3rd and 8th days, the nitrite content reached its peak. After day 9, the nitrite content began to drop, and nitrite basically disappeared after 20 days.
So, how to eat healthy pickled products?
First of all, Enough time and enough salt for home pickling vegetables are the key to ensuring the safety of pickled vegetables. Due to the large temperature difference between north and south in my country during autumn and winter, the time for pickling vegetables is also different. Generally speaking, the pickling time in the northern region is often more than one month, and the pickling time in the southern region is also more than 20 days.
Secondly, is the kind of vegetables or pickled products that are pickled for two or three days to more than ten days. Because the pickling time is short, it cannot be fully fermented, and the risk factor is higher.
Finally, To ensure safety, it is best to wash with hot water before eating pickled vegetables to remove possible nitrites. In addition, pickled vegetables are high-salt foods. Regular consumption will not only increase the burden on the kidneys, but also damage the gastrointestinal mucosa. Therefore, you should not eat too much or eat it often.
Eat pickled vegetables and pickled products healthily and reasonably, and be speechless in the countryside and cities. Only by enjoying delicious food can we better protect our bodies. What do you think? Welcome to leave a message for communication!
