Jujube is rich in nutrition and is a popular food. We often eat fresh dates, dried dates and candied dates, and the nutritional value of these three dates is different, so we should pay attention to the selection when buying.
fresh jujube is not only sweet, crisp and juicy, but also rich in nutrition, among which vitamin C content is the highest, but it is not resistant to storage, and it will lose its fresh and crisp taste in a few days at room temperature. For the convenience of preservation, fresh dates can be dried and made into dried dates. However, after the jujube was dried in the sun, it not only lost its water, but also lost vitamin C soluble in water, which also had a great influence on other nutrients. Making fresh dates into candied fruit is another way of preservation, but the nutrient loss in candied dates is greater, and almost all the vitamin C in them is destroyed.
There are many ways to eat three kinds of jujube, fresh jujube is the most beneficial to absorb nutrients, while dry jujube is suitable for porridge or soup, which can release nutrients well. When cooking porridge or soup, if dried jujube can be matched with some foods, it can enhance the curative effect, such as jujube and medlar soup for neurasthenia, jujube, peanut and egg porridge for iron deficiency anemia and jujube and celery soup for hypertension. Compared with fresh jujube and dried jujube, candied jujube has the least nutrients and the highest sugar content, and it is also best used for porridge, which can dilute the sugar concentration in candied jujube.
Jujube has the effect of enriching blood, which is generally considered to be the most suitable for women to eat, but in some cases it is not the case: women with swollen eyes or feet and abdominal distension during menstruation are not suitable to eat jujube, otherwise the edema will be more serious; Women with hot constitution are not suitable for eating red dates during menstruation, otherwise it will cause excessive menstrual flow. In addition, although red dates can be eaten frequently, it is best not to exceed 2 pieces at a time. Eating too much will damage digestive function and cause constipation. Because of the high sugar content in red dates, eating too much can easily lead to tooth decay. In addition, the skin of jujube is hard and extremely difficult to digest, so it must be chewed fully when eating, otherwise it will damage the gastrointestinal tract and affect the absorption of nutrients. ...
