Harm of rootless agent:
Additives such as rootless agent, plant growth regulator and thickener are hormones. Rootless agent is a kind of hormone pesticide which can rapidly divide bean sprout cells, and it has the same carcinogenic and teratogenic effects on human body as nitrogen fertilizer. Excessive intake of hormone drugs will cause some harm to human body, such as premature development of children, physiological changes of women, osteoporosis of the elderly and so on. Even if some hazards will not appear in the short term, long-term deposition will inevitably bring adverse effects on health.
Precautions:
Safe bean sprouts
Safe bean sprouts should be uniform and normal in color, clean in hypocotyl, thin in tail, about 4-5 cm long, fresh, crisp and clean, free from impurities, colorless, shrinking or rotting, with inherent bean flavor and no peculiar smell; In addition, pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella, Shigella and Staphylococcus aureus should not be detected.
Matters needing attention
Pay attention to the following points when buying bean sprouts: when watching bean sprouts, naturally cultivated bean sprouts are not soft, crisp and white, while bean sprouts with edible additives are thick, watery and gray in color. Second, look at the roots of bean sprouts. Naturally cultivated bean sprouts have developed roots and no rotten roots and shoots. Third, look at the beans. Naturally cultivated bean sprouts are normal, while bean sprouts soaked in chemical fertilizer are blue. Fourth, see if there is water coming out of the broken bean sprouts. What comes out without water is naturally cultivated bean sprouts, and what comes out with water is bean sprouts soaked in chemical fertilizer.
