I want to mention that the red dates mentioned here should refer to dried red dates, so put aside the vitamin C rich in fresh dates first. (Because fresh jujube is the king of vitamin C, its content is the highest among all familiar fruits, which is 243mg/mg, and vitamin C, a water-soluble vitamin, will be lost after being heated at high temperature. In order not to waste, it is necessary to eat vitamin C in fresh dates raw. ).

Main nutritional components of jujube (dried jujube and jujube)

It is rich in energy (3 17 kcal/100g), carbohydrate (8 1. 1), dietary fiber (9.5), calcium (54), potassium (185) and iron.

In addition, red dates are rich in vitamin P, as well as a large number of cyclic adenosine monophosphate and saponins.

People want to know whether raw or cooked food is more nutritious, mainly in two aspects:

1. Will the water-soluble vitamins (vitamin C and vitamin B) contained in red dates be lost after cooking?

The content of water-soluble vitamins in dried jujube is not very high, for example, vitamin C is only 7- 14mg, vitamin B 1 is 0.04-0.08, and B2 is 0.08-0. 15, so you don't have to worry too much about their loss even when cooked. And if vitamin C is supplemented, you can eat fresh fruits, and vitamin B can be supplemented from whole grains.

Secondly, which is easier to digest and absorb, raw or cooked?

Because dried red dates are rich in dietary fiber, if cooked, the dietary fiber will be relatively soft and easier to digest and absorb. Of course, most of the dietary fiber in jujube is in the jujube skin, but the jujube skin is easy to fall off after cooking, so many people spit out the jujube skin when eating cooked jujube, so the intake of dietary fiber is not much.

Judging from these two points, in fact, the nutrition of red dates is similar to that of cooked dates. If the spleen and stomach are not easy to digest, they should be cooked and eaten. If the stool is dry, you can eat it raw. For the average person, you can eat whatever you want without being too entangled. In fact, like Lycium barbarum, it can be eaten raw or cooked in porridge.

The nutritional value of jujube eaten raw or cooked has little change, but some cellulose components become soft after cooking. For some friends with bad mouth and indigestion, nutrients are easier to be absorbed, so the nutritional value obtained will be relatively higher. I like to eat raw red dates myself, because the sugar is thicker and tastes sweeter (who doesn't like sweet things? ). If it is stewed in soup or boiled red dates are soft and tasteless, I don't like them very much, but my mother likes steamed red dates very much, probably because of her mouth. However, it is suggested that middle-aged and elderly friends can eat "steamed dates" so that jujube meat is easier to digest. It is best to peel the jujube skin, because the dietary fiber content in jujube skin is high, which may affect the absorption of indigestion.

Some friends will think that nutrients will not be lost after food is heated. Wouldn't it be better to eat it raw?

In fact, the most nutrient loss of fresh dates after drying is vitamin C. Originally, fresh dates are the "king of vitamin C" in fruits, and the content of vitamin C is several times higher than that of kiwifruit, which we are most familiar with. However, jujube loses a lot of vitamin C after dehydration, and finally 100g contains about 14mg of vitamin C..

The heated jujube loses more water-soluble vitamin, namely vitamin C, so we can also ignore this loss, which can be supplemented by a fruit. Therefore, the nutritional value of heated jujube is not much lost, but because the dietary fiber content of jujube is very rich, these dietary fibers and other components become soft after heating, which is more conducive to absorption.

Eat raw dates or cooked dates, depending on the way you like, or if you have poor digestion, you can choose to eat cooked dates.

But there is a way that is not recommended, that is, soaking red dates in water to drink, but this may be the way that more friends choose. Many friends throw red dates away after soaking in water, which is really wasteful. First of all, jujube is wrapped by jujube skin, and its beneficial components are difficult to dissolve in water. If jujube slices and dried dates are soaked in water, we can only drink the water-soluble components, but many of them are wasted, such as flavonoids, polyphenols, dietary fiber and so on. In short, it is recommended to eat jujube to supplement beneficial ingredients, and it is recommended to eat jujube to cook porridge or soup.

Many friends may also want to ask, do you eat fresh dates or dried dates?

In fact, each has its own advantages. For example, as I said just now, fresh dates are particularly rich in vitamin C, but they lose a lot in red dates, and other beneficial substances are actually not much different. However, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, fresh dates contain more sugar and water, so this kind of food will produce phlegm quickly, which is not good for people who are wet and fat. However, after drying, the properties of red dates become milder, which is not suitable for producing wet phlegm and will be more suitable for more people. In short, food forms and eating methods are all particular. We can increase the diversity of food and choose the form of food according to our own situation.

Jujube has been cultivated in China for more than 4,000 years, and the earliest record can be found in The Book of Songs. Because the ripe fresh jujube is easy to rot, and the storage time at room temperature is short, coupled with the limitations of transportation and preservation, the dried jujube fruit called jujube is usually seen in the market.

As the saying goes, eating dates once a day will never get old. It can be seen that the health care function of red dates in people's hearts is very important. Jujube contains protein, fat, sugar, anti-circulating acid, calcium, iron, vitamins and other trace elements needed by human body.

The content of vitamin C in fresh jujube fruit is very high, almost one jujube fruit can meet the needs of an adult for one day, but most of vitamin C will be decomposed and destroyed during high temperature drying.

Jujube records in Compendium of Materia Medica: "Eliminate evil spirits in the heart, calm the middle, nourish qi, calm the stomach, dredge nine orifices, help the twelve meridians and treat various drugs."

I don't know if you have noticed. In life, we often see the methods used by red dates to nourish the body, mostly soaking, boiling or steaming. Not many people advocate eating raw dates directly, because the fiber content of jujube skin is high and it is not easy to digest, especially for people with bad stomach. Eating too much will lead to flatulence, and nutrients are not easily absorbed completely.

Whether soaking, boiling or steaming dates, don't put the whole date in, it's better to cut it and eat it, otherwise, even if the date expands, most of the nutrients and taste of the pulp are not cooked, or because the jujube skin is really hard and tough.

In addition, it should also be noted that it is best to remove the jujube stone, because it has more calories, and it is not easy to get angry after removing the jujube stone.

To sum up, red dates are made of fresh dates, and vitamin C has been decomposed and destroyed. The nutrition of raw jujube is similar to that of cooked jujube, with little difference, but cooked jujube can absorb nutrition better, so I think cooked jujube is better than raw jujube.

1, jujube is still cooked, with good effect and high nutritional value, which is more conducive to absorbing the effective components contained.

Jujube alias has beautiful jujube, dried jujube, good jujube, jujube, thorn jujube and so on.

Because sex is sweet and warm, it can make the body accept it gladly. It was praised as the top grade by Shennong Herbal Classic.

2, because jujube soup can enhance muscle strength, increase weight, enhance endurance and resist fatigue after being cooked; It can promote bone marrow hematopoiesis, enhance immunity, improve deficiency of both qi and blood, and promote calcium absorption.

In addition, jujube has the functions of beauty, anti-aging, anti-oxidation, liver protection, anti-tumor, blood pressure reduction and blood lipid reduction, so it is determined by Chinese medicine as a medicine for invigorating qi and nourishing blood and calming the nerves.

Don't forget: "three dates a day, live forever, eat ripe dates."

In fact, there is not much difference between "raw" and "cooked" jujubes, and few beneficial ingredients in jujubes will be lost after heating, so don't worry too much about the loss of nutrients. Some friends may ask: if you cook red dates, won't those vitamins and antioxidants in red dates be lost? In fact, a lot of water-soluble vitamins have been lost in red dates. Jujube is called dried jujube after being dried by fresh jujube, and it loses a lot of water, especially vitamin C. Originally, 100g fresh jujube contained about 240mg of vitamin every month, which was the proper king of vitamin C. But now, only about 14mg of dried jujube was left, which lost more than half, and some antioxidant components of water-soluble new vitamins in other jujubes were actually lost. Therefore, in the form of dried jujube, actually, we won't lose more beneficial substances because of heating, even if we lose some ingredients, such as more vitamin C, but if we want to supplement this vitamin C, we might as well eat another fruit.

Jujube is a very common health food with homology of medicine and food in our life. Many friends insist on eating jujube, medlar and other foods every day at home. Jujube is indeed rich in beneficial components and active substances, and it is beneficial to improve health if you insist on eating it. However, this red date was bought raw. We heated it and ate it. What's the difference between stewing in soup and porridge and eating directly? Which way to eat is better? Actually, I personally like to eat raw dates directly. Raw jujube is full of sweetness, dense meat, chewy and delicious. However, the advantage of jujube is that the dietary fiber content in jujube skin is particularly rich, which is easy to plug teeth, which may be unfavorable to people with bad teeth and weak digestive ability. At this time, the value of heating jujube is reflected. After heating, the dietary fiber of jujube peel and jujube meat softens, which is more conducive to chewing and digestion. The jujube peel can be torn off after heating, and the jujube meat can be eaten by middle-aged and old friends.

It is ok to eat red dates directly. Many friends like to cook rice, jujube rice, or jujube porridge, and steam it in steamed buns and steamed buns, which are all good ways to eat, and cooked ones are also desirable. But personally, it is not recommended to cook red dates into soup. If the red dates are soaked in water for too long and heated for too long, the meat will be soft and mushy, and the sugar inside will be mixed into the soup, which tastes bad and is easy to be discarded, but in fact, the discarded part is also nutritious, and the boiled part may not be eaten; What is even less recommended is that the whole jujube is soaked in water and the jujube is wrapped in jujube skin. The nutrients in jujube can't be dissolved in water, so many friends put jujube in water and throw it away. That is to say, the cut dried dates are used for soaking in water, and the ingredients mixed in the water are incomplete. It is recommended to eat after soaking in water. However, due to soaking in water, the flavor of jujube becomes weak and the jujube meat is loose. Many friends don't like it and throw it away. These practices are a bit wasteful. Jujube has a high sugar content, so it is not recommended to eat too much at a time. It is recommended to eat 3~4 dates and 5~7 dates at a time.

For older people, it may be better to steam red dates before eating them. My family often steamed red dates. One is easy to digest, the other is good taste, and the third is that nutrition will not be lost.

As the saying goes,

Eat three dates a day and you will never get old.

In winter,

Jujube is considered as a good health care product.

But should this jujube be eaten raw or cooked?

Some people think that eating raw red dates is more nutritious.

Some people think that cooked red dates are healthier?

There is a saying: "raw jujube is the most nutritious, and too high temperature will destroy vitamin C in jujube";

Is it a waste to eat raw red dates?

There is a saying: "It is a waste to eat red dates raw. Eating cooked red dates can not only strengthen the spleen and stomach, help digestion, but also avoid excessive gastric acid secretion and cause stomach pain. "

Fresh dates are recommended to be eaten raw, and dried dates or cooked food are better.

The reason why there is a debate about eating raw and cooked dates is mainly because there are many kinds of dates, including fresh dates, dried dates and candied dates.

Fresh jujube is not only sweet, crisp and juicy, but also rich in nutrition, among which vitamin C content is the highest. "For fresh dates. It is generally recommended to eat raw to ensure that the vitamin C inside is not destroyed.

For dried dates, there is little vitamin C left, so there is no saying that raw vitamins are reserved for other purposes. Dried jujube is still recommended cooked food, especially for the elderly, children, women and other people with relatively fragile gastrointestinal tract, and the burden of cooked food on the gastrointestinal tract is relatively small.

Fresh dates, dried dates and candied dates should be carefully selected.

I want to eat dates for health in winter. How to choose fresh dates, dried dates and candied dates?

As far as nutritional components are concerned, of course, fresh dates are more nutritious and complete. But now this season, there are not many fresh dates on the market, so it is generally not recommended to eat anti-season fruits. Therefore, from the perspective of health care, it is not suitable to eat fresh dates in winter. Between dried dates and candied dates, dried dates are more recommended. "candied dates are the process of pickling dates once, and the loss of various nutrients is much greater than that of dried dates."

In addition to nutritional components, the sugar content of the three dates is also very different. The sugar content of fresh dates is generally around 20%, dried dates are 40%-50%, and candied dates are higher, reaching 60%-70%. Therefore, for patients with diseases such as diabetes and those who are worried about obesity, candied dates should be eaten with caution.

Healthy eating method of jujube

Soak red dates in water to nourish the liver and detoxify.

A brewing detail of jujube determines its efficacy. Jujube skin is tough and difficult to digest. If the whole jujube is brewed, its effective components are difficult to completely dissolve, so it is best to break it before brewing. It should also be noted that fresh red dates should not be brewed or boiled. This is because its vitamin C content is very high, and boiling with hot water will seriously destroy vitamin C.

Boil soup with red dates to relieve cough and moisten lungs.

In the Tang Dynasty, Meng E's Bi Xiao Fang recorded that cooking soup with red dates, tremella and rock sugar can relieve cough and moisten the lungs.

Boiled eggs with red dates enrich blood and nourish skin.

Red dates soak in wine, and blood vessels are unobstructed.

In the soaking process of jujube, nutrient-rich organic matter is more easily dissolved in wine, which has a certain effect on keeping blood vessels unobstructed.

Jujube originated in China and has been planted in China for more than 8,000 years. Jujube is rich in protein, fat, sugar, carotene, B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin P, calcium, phosphorus, iron and adenosine cyclophosphate. Among them, the content of vitamin C ranks among the best in fruits and has the reputation of vitamin king.

Fresh jujube: not only sweet, crisp and juicy, but also nutritious, with extremely high vitamin C content. The content of vitamin C in 100g fresh jujube is as high as 243mg. Eating fresh jujube raw can retain more vitamin C in jujube, improve the function of capillary wall and help eliminate ecchymosis on skin. It is generally recommended to eat it raw to ensure that the vitamin C inside will not be lost in large quantities. However, jujube is wet, and raw food is easy to cause excessive gastric acid secretion, especially for people with bad stomach.

Dried jujube: the content of vitamin C has been lost, so there is no saying that eating raw can retain more vitamins. For the elderly, children, women and other people with relatively weak gastrointestinal tract, cooked food has a relatively small burden on the gastrointestinal tract and is more conducive to health.

Jujube can be divided into dried and fresh products. Fresh dates are recommended to be eaten raw, and water-soluble nutrients such as vitamin C are less lost, but they are not suitable for people with weak gastrointestinal function. There is little difference between raw and cooked dried dates, but eating cooked food for the elderly and children can reduce the burden on the stomach and be beneficial to health. Although jujube is good, it should not be eaten in excess, otherwise it will damage the digestive function. Even steamed red dates should not be eaten more, about five or six a day. In addition, jujube has a high sugar content, especially jujube made into snacks, which is not suitable for diabetics to eat, so as to avoid the increase of blood sugar and aggravate the condition.

Red dates can be eaten raw or cooked, depending on your stomach. 1, raw, clean, raw red dates are a brand supplement, strong stomach. 2, cooked red dates help digestion. For a fresh date. It is generally recommended to eat raw to ensure that the vitamin C inside is not destroyed. For dried dates, there is little vitamin C left, so there is no need to eat vitamin C again. Jujube can be made into tea, steamed, boiled, eaten raw, or porridge and soup. Steamed red dates taste the best, steam for about 40 minutes or more, and don't open the lid for more than half an hour after turning off the fire (put enough when steaming, you can eat them raw or cook soup). Everyone has different tastes, so I personally think it is better to eat raw.

Thank you: There are many kinds of red dates, including fresh dates, dried dates and candied dates.

Fresh jujube is not only sweet, crisp and juicy, but also rich in nutrition and high in vitamin C. It is generally recommended to eat raw to ensure that the vitamin C inside is not destroyed.
