Carotene is a fat-soluble substance. Only when it is dissolved in oil can it be converted into vitamin A and absorbed by human intestinal mucosa. Therefore, when cooking carrot dishes, you should put more oil (carrots are very oily), and it is best to fry them with meat. Don't eat it raw, because it is not easy to digest and absorb, and 90% of it is directly excreted because it is not absorbed by the human body. Boil carrots for a short time to reduce the loss of vitamin C.

So put a little more oil when frying. Carotene is also a fat-soluble vitamin, which can only be absorbed by frying the human body with oil!

My personal secret book can be fried with a little fat, first with some oil, then with carrots, which will be more fragrant. The vegetarian dishes in the restaurant will be fried with meat oil, which will be very fragrant!

I like to eat carrots and stir-fried cabbage slices, and adding some fungus is also good. Put some onions (or a little pepper noodles, if you like) in the pot and slice the carrots and cabbage. Stir-fry carrots and fungus first, then put Chinese cabbage slices. If the Chinese cabbage slices are thick, you can cut the Chinese cabbage into two layers, and the thinner Chinese cabbage will be delicious. Stir-fry over high fire, add some vinegar, soy sauce and salt. It's simple. Add chicken essence before cooking. Remember not to fry it too hard. When you get old, cabbage will come out of water and not be crisp.

American scientists have confirmed that eating three carrots a day can help prevent heart disease and tumors. So how to eat carrots conforms to the principles of nutrition?

Someone took three carrots with the same weight and divided them into three groups: raw, cooked with a little fat and cooked with enough fat. Results The digestibility of β -carotene in carrot was different under three conditions, which were 65438 00%, 30% and 90% respectively. This experiment shows that the digestion and absorption rate of β -carotene in the body is related to the amount of oil used, and the nutritional value of carrots cooked with enough edible oil is higher than that of raw food.

Another experiment was made with carrots of the same weight: one group sliced carrots and fried them in oil for 6- 12 minutes; The other group of carrots is cut into pieces for seasoning and stewed for 20-30 minutes; The third group of carrots is cut into pieces to taste, then the meat is added and stewed in pressure cooker 15-20 minutes. The results showed that the pressure cooker could minimize the contact between carrots and air and improve the preservation rate of β -carotene

Although carrots are rich in β-carotene, they cannot be absorbed and utilized by human body if they are not eaten properly. When eating raw carrots, the human body can only absorb a small amount of carotene, and most of the carotene cannot be absorbed and utilized by the human body, which will greatly reduce the nutritional value of carrots.

Scientific Cooking: When cooking carrots, you should remember the best practices to keep them nutritious. (1) Cut carrots, add seasonings and stir-fry with enough cooking oil. (2) After dicing, stew it with pork, beef and mutton, preferably in a pressure cooker 15-20 minutes.

Stir-fried shredded carrots:

Take carrot 1 root, ground meat 100g, salt and soy sauce. Shred carrots. Put it aside. Mix minced meat with soy sauce. Take an oil pan, pour minced meat and stir-fry until it changes color, then add shredded carrots and salt, and stir-fry over low heat until shredded carrots become hard.

Steamed dumplings with carrots are also delicious.

Radish is eaten in different ways.

Radish is rich in amylase and some mustard oil, which can promote gastrointestinal digestion and increase appetite.

Eating white radish "raw chewing" is more scientific. Because the amylase in radish is not heat-resistant, it will be destroyed when the temperature exceeds 70℃; Vitamin c is also afraid of heat.

Chinese medicine believes that raw radish is pungent and cool, which has the effects of quenching thirst, clearing away heat, resolving phlegm and relieving asthma, helping digestion, diuresis, breaking phlegm and detoxifying. After cooking, it is sweet and warm, which can relieve qi and digest food.

In addition, radish contains interferon inducer with strong activity, but the interferon inducer of radish is not heat-resistant, so it can directly contact mucosal cells only when eaten raw, chewed or squeezed into juice, which stimulates the production of interferon in digestive tract and reduces the chance of cancer in digestive tract. Also, radish is rich in crude fiber and lignin, but it is easy to be destroyed when cooked.

Carrots are rich in nutrition, but many people eat unscientific and waste nutrition. Eating cooked carrots is better than eating them raw. First of all, the nutrient carotene contained in carrots-vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin, which is insoluble in water but soluble in fat. If eaten raw, more than 70% of carotene cannot be absorbed, but if cooked, the absorption and utilization rate can be greatly improved because of the increase of oil. Even cooking with oil, different methods have different effects. Practice has proved that the preservation rate of carotene is 79% when carrot slices are fried, 8 1% when fried, and higher than 95% when carrot slices are stewed with seasoning and meat.

Research by Hugh Southon of the British Food Research Institute confirms that cooked carrots are more effective in preventing heart disease and cancer than raw carrots.

If carrots are cooked and mashed before eating, the absorption rate of carotene will be 4 ~ 5 times higher than that of raw carrots. Because there are hard-walled cells in carrots, they can help the cells to demould after cooking. Therefore, the most scientific way to eat carrots is cooked. It is best to cut carrots and stew them with meat.

Tips:

One trick is fresh: radish seems simple, but in fact, each part can be eaten in different ways. From the top of radish to 1/3, the content of vitamin C is the highest, but the texture is slightly hard. Shredded and sliced, cooked quickly, used to make stuffing with mutton, which tastes excellent; Radish contains more sugar in the middle, and its texture is crisp and tender. You can dice it to make salad, shred it and mix it with sugar and vinegar. There are many substances such as amylase and mustard oil in the tail of radish, some of which are spicy, which can help digestion and increase appetite. If peeled and eaten raw, it is the best choice for diabetics to replace fruits.

Because mutton is hot, it enters the spleen and kidney meridian, which has the functions of tonifying spleen and kidney, strengthening bones and muscles and resisting cold.

Pork ribs and radish soup, about 500 grams of white radish, cut into pieces and put a knife into water to boil, and pour off the water. Small ribs (soft ribs) 500 grams.

It is suitable for chest distress, heartburn, abdominal distension, costal pain, dysphoria, and bad breath caused by food stagnation or overeating.

Radish, maltose, fresh radish, mash to get about 500 ml of juice, add about 50 g of maltose, stew in water and take it warm. It has the functions of clearing away heat and resolving phlegm, relieving cough and moistening dryness.

2 Radish porridge and 150g japonica rice are cooked into porridge as usual, and 1 time is taken daily, which has a certain auxiliary effect on treating diabetes.

Honey Radish Take the white radish after the first frost, wash it and mash it to get juice. After stewing, add appropriate amount of honey and take it warm, 50 ml each time, 1, twice a day, which has the effect of relieving cough and resolving phlegm, and can cure cough and phlegm.
