Kelp is a kind of weed that grows in the sea, so it contains minerals unique to the sea. Eating more kelp helps to supplement the potassium that the human body lacks. However, in order to better preserve kelp, people often buy dried kelp when buying kelp. At this time, if they want to eat kelp, they must soak it before eating it. But how long is the best time to soak kelp?

How long does it take to soak dried kelp before eating?

Soak dried kelp in cold water for about 30 minutes and it will swell. Wash the dirt on the surface of kelp and change the water before soaking, and then change the water every 20 minutes for 20 minutes. However, it depends on the quality of kelp. It doesn't matter if the kelp meat is thick and hard for a long time, otherwise the time will be shorter.

How long does it take to soak dried kelp?

Generally speaking, the soaking time of kelp is determined according to the texture and arsenic content of kelp. If it is a tender kelp with low arsenic content, the soaking time should not be too long, but if it is hard and high arsenic content, it needs to be soaked for a long time.

After soaking dried kelp in water for 5 to 10 hour, its arsenic content is still as high as 5 mg/kg. After soaking in water for 24 hours, its arsenic content can reach the food safety standard. Therefore, it is best to soak dried kelp for a long time before eating it.

Nutritional value of kelp

Kelp is rich in carbohydrates and trace elements, especially iodine. In addition, kelp also contains more than 40 kinds of active ingredients, such as crude protein, dietary fiber, sugar, mannitol, amino acids, colloid, vitamin A/D/C/B1B2/B5/B6, and is known as "marine vegetables". The combination of kelp and tofu is the most common dish in Japan, and it is considered as a panacea for immortality. According to the statistics of the United Nations Health Organization, Japanese women hardly suffer from breast cancer, while the probability of American women suffering from breast cancer is very high. This is because Japanese actresses often eat kelp, while American women eat very little.

Selection method of dried kelp

1, see if there is any frost.

Kelp contains high iodine and a substance called mannitol, which will adhere to the surface of dried kelp in the form of white powder. Therefore, it is best to choose dark brown dried kelp with frost on its surface. If dried kelp is partially red or partially yellow, do not choose dried kelp. Such kelp may be polluted, and its quality and nutritional value will be worse. In addition, dried kelp also has a strong seafood flavor. If there are other smells, the quality of kelp will be greatly reduced.

2. Look at the color of kelp

Dried kelp is dark in color and grayish green, which is a good natural kelp. Do not choose emeralds.

Step 3 observe the appearance and texture

Good kelp leaves are wide, thick green or yellowish purple, and there are no dead leaves.

See if the kelp is complete, thick and has small holes. If the kelp is small and broken, or damaged in a large area, don't buy one with small holes.

Touch the surface with your hands.

Step 4 smell it

The kelp seafood without bleaching and dyeing has a strong flavor, but the kelp seafood flavor after bleaching and dyeing is reduced.
