The offal of animals is rich in iron, zinc and other trace elements needed by the human body, as well as vitamin A, vitamin B2, vitamin D, etc. It is not only a delicacy in people's daily diet, but also has certain medicinal value in treating certain diseases of the human body.

Many people love to eat animal offal. Gourmets have brainstormed and developed many signature dishes using animal offal as raw materials, such as stir-fried kidney, stir-fried pork belly, shredded tripe with red oil, Sichuan fried chicken offal, hot double crispy,

Husband and wife's lung slices, waist flower, liver tip... just looking at the names of these dishes is enough to make people salivate. Take another bite and it's a beauty!

Animal offal is indeed a rare delicacy in people’s diet.

However, when people are feasting, they may not realize that the offal processed by stir-frying is delicious, but it will "make you happy and worry you".

Happiness, of course, refers to the deliciousness of the food, but what about worry?

Animal internal organs such as liver, kidneys, lungs, belly, intestines, etc. are places that "harvest dirt and evil people and practices." They are often contaminated by a variety of pathogenic microorganisms and are also parasitic sites for various parasites.

It is difficult to stir-fry the viscera thoroughly, and it is difficult to kill germs and parasites if the viscera is fried and eaten.

If a person eats uncooked animal offal, the chance of contracting the disease will be greatly increased, and the risk will be slightly higher.

Studies have also found that cattle, horses, donkeys, mules, pigs, chickens, ducks and other animals are often infected, carriers and spreaders of hepatitis B virus.

Hepatitis B virus has strong resistance. It can be boiled at 60℃ for 4 hours without any harm. Sometimes even medium-concentration disinfectants cannot kill it. It can usually be killed after boiling for 10 minutes.

.

Therefore, the best way to cook animal offal is to simmer it under high temperature and pressure for a long time to cook it thoroughly to kill parasites, germs and eggs before eating it to eliminate the risk of diseases entering through the mouth.

Avoid getting sick after eating.

Take pork liver as an example. Many people like to eat fried pork liver. They fry the pork liver very tenderly and even eat it with blood streaks, thinking that this way it will be fresh and delicious.

Pork liver contains a variety of nutrients, especially vitamin A and trace elements iron, zinc, copper, etc. It is a good supplement for patients with weakness and anemia.

However, the liver is a detoxification organ, and the animal liver inevitably carries metabolites of some toxic substances, and may also be mixed with toxic substances in the mixed feed.

At the same time, the liver is also a nutrient reservoir. Some parasites like to live in the liver, absorb nutrients, and complete their own life development process.

Parasites such as liver flukes live in the liver, and it is difficult to completely remove them by just washing the liver.

Obviously, pork liver is not a "clean" thing.

If you only focus on tenderness and deliciousness, and the frying time is very short, it is very dangerous to eat it. It is very likely that some pathogens or parasite eggs that have not been killed will be eaten into the abdomen.

Therefore, animal offal should be stewed rather than fried. Besides, short fire cannot effectively decompose the toxic substances in the offal.

If you want to fry animal offal, the fire must be bigger to ensure the health of the body.

It should also be reminded that from a nutritional perspective, animal offal is rich in protein, vitamins and trace elements. However, animal offal also contains a large amount of fat and cholesterol. Regular consumption of animal offal is likely to cause hyperlipidemia.

If you already suffer from hyperlipidemia, it will be even worse.

Therefore, although the dishes made from animal offal are delicious, for the sake of health, it is better to eat less, and it is best not to be addicted to food.
