With the popularity of fast-paced life, quick-frozen food has become the mainstream choice of young people for cooking. But frozen foods are not completely harmless to our health.
The following are several common hazards:
1. Loss of nutrients. During the storage process of quick-frozen food, due to the low temperature, many nutrients will be reduced, the most important of which are vitamins. 2. Excessive bacteria cause disease. Some people would think that at such low temperatures, many bacteria will die, but this view is wrong. Too many bacteria can cause diarrhea, cramps, etc., causing harm to human health.
3. Difficult to save. Generally, the shelf life of quick-frozen food is very short, which means that its actual storage time is very short. If it expires, it will affect the taste and even threaten health. One of the most common quick-frozen foods is quick-frozen dumplings. There are many precautions when eating quick-frozen foods. Here are five major precautions for eating quick-frozen dumplings. 1. When cooking quick-frozen dumplings bought from the supermarket, do not defrost them. Cook them before the dumplings are completely thawed. Because the dumpling wrappers will stick together during the thawing process, cooking them at this time will cause the dumplings to break and affect their taste. 2. When purchasing quick-frozen dumplings, read the instructions on the dumpling ingredients on the dumpling packaging bag. If there are a lot of ingredients, it means that in addition to normal things, there are probably other food additives in the dumplings. Therefore, the fewer types of ingredients on the packaging bag, the better, and the healthier it is for the human body.
3. Pay attention to the nutritional label on the back of the dumplings. Many people will notice when eating dumplings that some dumplings taste chewy. In fact, the main reason is that a lot of salt is added, and the main effect is sodium. So be sure to pay attention to the sodium content in the nutrition facts table. If the content is too high, it will cause certain harm to your health.
4. When cooking quick-frozen dumplings, add plenty of water to prevent the dumplings from sticking together. At the same time, a small amount of salt should also be added to increase the cooking resistance of the dumpling wrappers and prevent them from rotting and affecting the taste.
