Compared with instant noodles, these five kinds of delicacies are "junk food". They are low in nutrition and will be of no benefit if you eat too much. The invention of instant noodles has greatly facilitated our lives. It is one of the must-have foods for business trips, but I don’t know where to start.
Since when have we been accused of "junk food"?
Many people say that instant noodles are not nutritious. In fact, its protein, fat, and carbohydrates are higher than milk. It also contains vitamins and minerals. It is very nutritious and convenient to eat.
In fact, compared with instant noodles, the "delicacies" that many people love to eat in life can be regarded as junk food. They are nutritious, but they have a lot of pigments and additives. Eating too much is not good for health.
Below I will list some common junk delicacies for you, so don’t try to eat less of them in the future.
1. Frozen meatballs Frozen meatballs can be used to make hot pot and make meatball soup. They are loved by many people.
Calling it "junk" is mainly selling it as dog meat. For example, crab sticks have no crab meat at all. They are all colored with pigments and flavored with additives.
There are also peeing beef balls, which are basically pork and chicken, and even contain more additives than beef.
The more expensive meatballs may have higher meat content or be fresher.
The meatballs that cost a few yuan a pound have been stored for a long time, and contain very little meat, all of which are additives.
2. Canned food There are many kinds of canned food, such as canned fruits, canned fish, canned beef, etc., as well as various canned pickles and seasonings, which all fall into this category.
The shelf life of canned food is very long, not only because of the vacuum, but also because there are many preservatives and other additives, and some can be stored for 3 years without any problem.
3. Pickles Pickles are a means of storing food. They can be preserved for a long time because a lot of salt is added, which inhibits the growth of bacteria.
Because of this, even if the pickles have expired, you won't be able to tell.
If you think that pickles have no shelf life, you are wrong. The pickles produced by regular companies are clearly marked with a shelf life, but you have no idea when the pickles in the supermarket were produced.
If you want to eat pickles, buy them in bags instead of in bulk.
4. Fried food No matter what the food is, as long as it is deep-fried, it will be particularly fragrant, such as fried chicken legs, French fries, etc.
However, fried foods have high fat content, which can easily lead to obesity, and many harmful substances are produced at high temperatures, such as benzopyrene, which is a carcinogen.
5. Frozen instant bags are often seen in supermarkets. I heard that some restaurants use them for takeout.
This kind of instant bag is usually stored in the refrigerator. When eating, steam it in a steamer for 15 minutes, or heat it in a microwave for 5 minutes, which is very convenient.
Instant buns come in many flavors, including twice-cooked pork, braised pork, braised pork with pickled vegetables, braised chicken, etc. They are very suitable for people who don’t know how to cook, or who don’t have time to cook.
It is definitely better to cook this type of dishes and eat them now. The ingredients used in the instant bags produced by regular companies will be better, while the instant bags made by small brands may use some leftover materials, and the taste cannot be guaranteed, so they are sold cheaply.
