What are the benefits of eating bighead carp?
1, bighead carp is rich in unsaturated fatty acids.
This unsaturated fatty acid mainly exists in fish oil, which is why there are so many cod liver oil products on the market. Unsaturated fatty acids are mainly good for human brain, especially for children. Eating more unsaturated fatty acids can improve brain function and thus enhance intelligence. The fish oil of bighead carp is viscous and rich in unsaturated fatty acids, so it has high nutritional value. This nutritional value is mainly reflected by lecithin in bighead carp. Lecithin is an essential element for the development of brain cells and an amino acid absorbed by human brain. The special protein contained in it has a great influence on children's intellectual development.
2. Bighead carp is rich in collagen.
Everyone is familiar with collagen, which can delay the aging of the body and have a good effect on the repair of body cells and tissues. The meat under the gills of bighead carp is transparent, covered with glue and rich in collagen, which is why many people like to eat bighead carp. The eyes of bighead carp are also the essence. As the saying goes, you can make up what you eat. Although this sentence may not be completely correct, it also has some truth. In other words, eating fish eyes has a good effect on the development and brightness of children's eyes.
3. Bighead carp contains blood-enriching nutrients.
Bighead carp roe is also a nutrient-rich substance, which has the functions of enriching blood and nourishing liver and kidney. If eaten for a long time, it can also treat malnutrition in children. In fact, malnutrition is not uncommon among children in our country, but it is often not found and taken seriously, so we can eat more bighead carp.
When eating fish, you should pay attention to many things. The following small series will specifically tell you what to pay attention to when eating fish. Let's get to know each other.
Precautions for eating fish
The fish is too red and white to eat. Because of the different kinds of fish, there are red-fleshed fish such as tuna and white-fleshed fish such as hairtail, but if the color of fish is too bright red or bright white, it is probably the "credit" of dyes.
Select a size of "8 points". The size of a fish determines its taste and safety. Too small, the fish has not grown up and matured, the meat is not tender enough, and fishbones will come out. Too big means that the fish is old and the meat is rough, and many harmful substances may accumulate in the body. Therefore, it is more appropriate to buy fish with the size of "eight points". For example, 1.5 kg is suitable for carp and Wuchang fish, 0.5 kg ~ 1 kg for crucian carp and 4~5 kg for grass carp.
Don't buy those with cloudy eyes and gray cheeks. When buying "chilled fish", you should first observe its eyes and gills. Fresh fish have full eyeballs, clear corneas and bright gills. Secondly, the eyeball of fresh fish is not full, the cornea is wrinkled and slightly turbid, and sometimes the bleeding in the eye is red, and the gills are dark gray-red or gray-purple. Rotten fish eyes collapse or shrivel, cornea atrophy or rupture, gills are brown or grayish white.
Now kill the live fish and put it before eating. The quality of freshly slaughtered fish is not the best, because fish will have a process of "acid discharge" and it will take some time to be more delicious. Small fish such as grass carp and silver carp should be refrigerated immediately and cooked after 2 hours; Big fish need to be refrigerated for more than 2 hours.
Sashimi should be frozen before eating. There may be parasites in sashimi, which has poor heat and low temperature resistance. It can be killed by freezing at MINUS 20℃ for 24 hours, but the ice under the sashimi plate can't kill the parasites at all. Therefore, fish can only be eaten raw when the source of raw materials is sufficient.
Don't eat salty food. Aquatic products may contain a lot of nitrite. In the process of drying or curing, some protein will decompose to produce amines, which will combine with nitrite to form nitrosamines, which has a certain cancer risk.
Conclusion: Fish is still very popular in life. Eating bighead carp often can also help us delay aging and improve brain function. When eating fish, you should pay attention to choosing some fish with full and bright eyeballs and avoid buying fish with gray gills and too big heads. Fresh fish should be put aside before eating.
