In diet, you should also know some precautions and taboos when eating kelp, and don't go astray. First, the iodine content in kelp is very rich. Friends with hyperthyroidism should not eat kelp, so as not to aggravate the condition.
Second; Don't drink tea and acidic fruit immediately after eating kelp. Because tea and acidic fruits contain acidic components such as tannic acid and vegetable acid, it affects the absorption of iron in kelp.
Third; Don't eat too much kelp every time. Eating too much, the iodine in kelp is absorbed by the human body too much, which affects health.
Fourth; Pregnant women and nursing mothers should try not to eat or eat less kelp. It will affect the thyroid function of fetus and baby.
Fifth; Kelp must be cleaned before eating. In case there are pollutants or toxic heavy metal residues on it.
With regard to these five reminders, everyone should master them well in order to eat kelp better and fully absorb the nutrition inside. When people buy kelp, they basically buy dried kelp. On the one hand, it is convenient to store; On the other hand, it is cheaper. So how can dried kelp be softened? Presumably, many people use hot water to cook. In fact, it is wrong to do so. Kelp cooked in hot water is hard and black, which is not good-looking or delicious. Teach you a few tips, and the kelp is very beautiful and the nutrition is not lost.
Tip 1: steam in a steamer. Because dried kelp is covered with white material called mannitol, this substance is good for human body. Steam in a steamer, steam the kelp until it is soft, and then rinse it with clear water to reduce the loss of nutrients.
Tip 2: soak kelp in rice washing water. After steaming kelp, soak it in rice-washing water for a while, which can make kelp soft quickly and the dirty things on it walk fast.
Tip 3; Add vinegar to the water. After the kelp is steamed, put it into the water and add some vinegar in the water, so that the kelp can be quickly soaked and deodorized.
You can do all of the above three methods. Soaking kelp has less nutrient loss, good taste, soft and full glutinous.
