Pea seedlings. Fan Zhihong, an associate professor at the College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering, said that pea seedlings are highly recommended, and their carotene content can reach 2700μg/ 100g, while the carotene content of fruits and vegetables that people often eat is below 100μg/ 100g ... pea seedlings can be used for cold salad, quick frying and egg spreading.
Garlic seedlings. Many people have doubts, can garlic be eaten after germination? He told reporters that garlic can be eaten as long as it is not discolored and moldy after germination. The research of Gyeongbuk National University in South Korea also found that the antioxidant content of germinated garlic is higher than that of fresh garlic, and it reaches its peak on the fifth day after germination, so it has better anti-cancer and anti-aging effects. In addition, people who are not used to eating garlic can eat some garlic seedlings. Garlic seedlings are superior in dietary fiber, vitamin C, vitamin A and carotene. It should be noted that the boiled garlic seedlings should not be too soft and rotten, and it is advisable to fry them quickly in a big fire.
Germinated soybeans. Although soybean has high nutritional value, it contains substances that hinder the absorption and utilization of nutrients. However, after germination, these obstacles will be decomposed in large quantities, which will increase the utilization efficiency of nutrients. In terms of taste, the germinated soybean is more delicious and delicate, and it is not easy to flatulence after eating, so it is suitable for people with poor digestive function. It is a good choice to beat soybean milk with germinated soybeans or stir-fry with mushrooms. It is worth reminding that germinated soybeans are not the same as soybean sprouts. Germinated soybeans are cultivated for a short time, and generally they can be eaten when the buds are less than half a centimeter.
Compared with Toona sinensis buds, Toona sinensis seedlings have higher vitamin content, especially carotene, vitamin B2, vitamin K and so on. In addition, Toona sinensis buds often contain higher nitrite, while Toona sinensis seedlings do not have this problem, so it is safer. Crispy Toona sinensis seedlings, simply mixed with salt and sesame oil, taste good.
In addition to these bean sprouts, according to Jian Kang magazine, the latest research in South Korea found that after sesame seeds were soaked for 4 days to accelerate germination, the fat content decreased significantly, while linolenic acid, phosphorus, calcium and other components increased. Sesamol contained in sesame seeds has good antioxidant function. The study also found that buckwheat can lower blood pressure and inhibit fatty liver after germination. University of alberta's research also pointed out that the nutritional value of barley increased 2-5 days after germination, which not only increased dietary fiber, but also made it easier to digest. In addition, radish bud, alfalfa bud, sunflower seed bud and peanut bud are all good choices.
Most sprouts are suitable for "steamed vegetables". The specific method is: after the sprouts are washed, cover them with a thin layer. Steamed for two or three minutes, the surface looks like wearing a thin layer of clothes, adding a little minced garlic and sesame oil, which is delicious. This method uses less oil, the cooking temperature is not high, and it can retain most of the nutrition of sprouts, which is very healthy.
Finally, experts reminded that some vegetables must not be eaten after germination, and the most typical one is potatoes. Potatoes should not be eaten when they germinate and turn green, otherwise there is a danger of poisoning, and there will be acute poisoning symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. You'd better throw away the sprouted potatoes.
