It is very hot in summer, so many vegetables bought by families can only be kept fresh in the refrigerator. Sometimes if you don't pay attention, the food will freeze. Can you still eat frozen food? Can we still eat the most common frozen broccoli? Many people are worried about whether eating it will have an effect and whether it will be poisoned. Follow Bian Xiao who taught you how to deal with frozen vegetables.

Can broccoli be eaten if it is frozen? How to eat frozen broccoli?

First of all, let me explain to you: broccoli is edible if it is frozen, and it will taste bad. Broccoli is rich in dietary fiber and vitamins, which has the functions of preventing cancer, enhancing immunity and delaying aging. It can be fried or steamed.

First, how to eat broccoli when it is frozen?

1. Broccoli has tender meat, less fiber and more water, and tastes more delicious than cauliflower. Broccoli is mainly used for western side dishes or salads;

2. Although cauliflower is rich in nutrition, it often has pesticide residues and is prone to lettuce worms. Therefore, before eating, you can soak cauliflower in salt water for a few minutes, and the cabbage worms will run out, which can also help remove residual pesticides;

3. Chewing several times while eating is more conducive to the absorption of nutrients;

4. Broccoli will become more colorful after being cooked, but it should be noted that when scalding broccoli, the time should not be too long, otherwise it will lose its crispness and the mixed vegetables will be greatly reduced;

5. After blanching broccoli, put it in cold boiled water to cool it, then take it out and drain it for later use. Cooking and salt adding time should not be too long, so as not to prevent the loss and destruction of cancer nutrients.

Second, cold salad is good for preserving nutrition.

For most people in China, the way to eat broccoli is monotonous, mostly stir-fried or fried with garlic. In fact, broccoli has an important feature, that is, after being boiled or blanched with water, the color will remain green and the taste will be more crisp. So cold salad or soup is also a good choice.

In foreign countries, broccoli is mainly eaten with salad or cooked as a side dish of western food, which avoids the loss of nutrition during high temperature heating and is more conducive to health. People who are used to eating hot dishes can also fry with meat, eggs or shrimp.

Third, how to eat

1. Wash and cut into pieces, then blanch with hot water and take out (1-2 minutes, not long, keep light green). 2. Make cold dishes alone or together with other dishes.

3, you can also re-enter the hot pot to quickly season and stir fry.

4. Stir-fry with lilies, cashews, dried seafood, mushrooms, sliced meat, onions and even tomatoes, with broccoli in the back.

In short, the cooking principle of broccoli is to blanch first, and the heating time should not be too long to keep green, so as to maintain its nutrition (blanching is the best way to make cold dishes) and good taste.

Fourth, nutrition.

As far as various vegetables are concerned, the nutritional value of broccoli is second to none. It is said that the calcium content of broccoli is equivalent to that of milk.

If you include broccoli in your menu, it can effectively help you reduce the incidence of cancer, osteoporosis, heart disease and diabetes. Broccoli is a delicious plant medicine.

According to the analysis, every 100g of fresh broccoli contains 3.5g-4.5g of protein, which is three times that of broccoli and four times that of tomato.

In addition, the mineral composition of broccoli is more comprehensive than other vegetables, and the content of calcium, phosphorus, iron, potassium, zinc and manganese is very rich, which is much higher than that of cruciferous cabbage.

When choosing broccoli, the heavier the handle, the better the quality. But we should also avoid the flower ball being too hard, because this kind of broccoli is older.

5. How is broccoli stored in the refrigerator?

If you want to store some for winter, you must pay attention to the processing link;

1. blanch the cut broccoli at 95 ~ 100℃ for 2 minutes, then immediately put it in cold water at 0 ~ 5℃ for cooling, and the shorter the cooling time, the better;

2. Drain and plate: After cooling, some water drops will remain on the surface of broccoli balls, which is not conducive to freezing. It is easy to connect the frozen broccoli balls together, and can be packaged and frozen after water control.
