Homemade kimchi will be much safer. Generally, the nitrite content of pickled vegetables gradually increased and began to decrease after one week. After 10, the content of nitrite is low and relatively safe. Therefore, pickles must be preserved for more than 10 days before eating. Pickles in the market will shorten the curing time in order to speed up the sales of pickles.

How to eat pickles to be healthy

Eat in small quantities

Pickled vegetables can only be eaten in small quantities as seasoning dishes, and cannot be eaten more or frequently. It is best not to eat more than 15-20g of kimchi every day.

Arrange in an appropriate proportion

Because the nutritional value of pickles is not high, it is necessary to supplement vitamins and other essential nutrients with vegetables and fruits when eating pickles.

Add ginger and garlic

Garlic and ginger can be added when pickling or frying pickles. Ginger and garlic can inhibit nitrate-reducing bacteria in stomach and reduce nitrite content in stomach.

Wash pickles

Pickles can be washed many times before frying to remove excess sodium salt, thus reducing the intake of sodium salt, reducing the risk of physical illness, reducing the acidity of pickles, weakening the stimulation to the stomach and being healthier.
