Can it cause cancer?

Studies have shown that bracken contains cancer-related substances including phenylacetic acid, fernolactam, xanthoalcohols, cerexanthin and cerexanthin. Some similar substances are related to gastrointestinal cancer.

But this does not mean that we cannot eat bracken, because the bracken we eat daily is usually boiled with water before eating. This treatment will greatly reduce the content of protobracken glycosides.

However, such treatment only reduces, rather than eliminates. If consumed for a long time, protozoatein will still accumulate in the body. Therefore, although bracken is delicious, you must also pay attention to the appropriate amount.

How to treat bracken to make it healthier?

Protopterin is very volatile at room temperature, and the purified protopterin will decompose at room temperature. When scientists studied the carcinogenic effect of protopterin on experimental mice, they used protopterin that was stored at minus 20 degrees Celsius. Therefore, once protopterin is exposed to scalding boiling water, the carcinogenic effect will be significantly reduced. Adding salting or baking techniques may further weaken the carcinogenic effect.

The recommended preparation for bracken stir-fried with bacon: 250 grams of bacon, 500 grams of fresh bracken, 2 grams of salt, 10 grams of light soy sauce, 5 grams of oyster sauce, 10 grams of chili sauce, minced ginger and green onion Appropriate amount, 1 chive. Method: 1. Prepare bacon and bracken. Soak the bacon in warm water until soft. 3. Remove the old hard stems from fresh bracken and cut it into small segments. 4. Wash the picked bracken with clean water. If you are afraid of allergies to wild vegetables, you can put it in a pot and blanch it in water for 2 minutes. 5. Rinse the blanched bracken with cold water, dry it and set aside. Cut the soaked bacon into thin slices as much as possible. 6. Put the bacon slices into the pot, add a small amount of water, and cook over low heat. 7. After cooking the water, the bacon begins to release oil.
