Grandma Hu planned this in her heart. As a result, as soon as she opened the sack, she was smoked with a choking smell and coughed twice violently. When her daughter-in-law heard the sound, she ran out and saw her mother-in-law holding peanuts in her hand. When she came forward, she saw that these peanuts were obviously moldy and smelled like a nose. After peeling, mold could also be seen.
The daughter-in-law said to grandma Hu, "These peanuts are moldy and can't be eaten." Grandma Hu is not willing to throw it away. It's all her own hard work. It's a big deal to bask in it, wash it and eat it again. What's the problem? The daughter-in-law refused to listen to her advice and said, "If you are worried about poisoning, don't eat it."
Aflatoxin breeds after food is moldy, which is highly carcinogenic, easy to be poisoned after eating by mistake, and may also induce a variety of cancers. It has been listed as a carcinogen by WHO, and this toxin is difficult to remove, and there is nothing to do with daily methods. Don't expect to kill it with sunlight and boiled water.
Some elderly people think it's enough to peel off the shell and then cut off the broken part. In fact, this method can't remove all the mold, and it is very dangerous to eat too much. Moreover, peanuts are so small that it is unrealistic to check and cut them one by one. On the surface, only a small part is moldy. In fact, mold has polluted the whole bag of peanuts. To be on the safe side, it is better not to eat them. Similar foods include corn, nuts, tea and steamed bread.
How can you tell if peanuts are moldy? You can see whether its shell has changed color, and whether there are many molds floating out after peeling. The peanuts inside may turn yellow and change color, and the red color is wrinkled. You can taste it in your mouth, which is very bitter and difficult to swallow at all.
When you eat peanuts, you should pay attention to it. It may deteriorate because it has been preserved for too long, and it is useless to feel distressed again. After all, health is still important. Then, is it reasonable for Grandma Hu to say that peanuts can preserve health and are good for blood vessels?
Most middle-aged and elderly people have chronic diseases, so they are very cautious in their diet choices, hoping to eat foods that are good for their health and have no impact on the disease. In most people's eyes, peanut is a representative of more oil. Because peanut oil is refined from it, it is difficult to have a good impression on it, and fear of eating it right will have an impact on blood lipids and liver. However, a foreign study subverts people's views. It turns out that peanuts are good for the cardiovascular system. Let's take a look at the relevant research.
A study in Stroke magazine pointed out that peanuts help protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which is the result of a follow-up of more than 70,000 middle-aged and elderly people 15 years. Participants ate 4-5 peanuts with shells every day, and their risk of cerebral infarction, stroke and cardiovascular disease decreased by 20%, 16% and 13% respectively.
Peanuts can also help middle-aged and elderly people maintain their weight, because peanuts have more dietary fiber. Eating some peanuts when you are hungry and then eating dinner can help reduce your appetite, which will reduce your calorie intake. Moreover, peanuts will occupy a part of the space in the stomach. If they are not chewed, they will eventually be discharged, which is equivalent to going through a process in the body without generating too much energy, which is very beneficial for people who want to control their weight.
In addition, people who have a bad stomach and feel uncomfortable when they are hungry can eat some peanuts after getting up in the morning to relieve acid regurgitation and heartburn, and it is very convenient, and they can eat it without waiting too long, which can immediately alleviate hunger. In addition, peanuts can also exercise the chewing ability of middle-aged and elderly people and make their teeth stronger. If you eat raw peanuts, you can stay in your mouth for a long time after chewing water, which has a certain protective effect on your teeth.
Some people say that peanuts are healthy, so can I eat them with it when I drink? It can also offset the harm of alcohol.
First of all, most drinkers eat fried peanuts with salt sprinkled on them. The healthy properties of peanuts have been changed, nutrition has decreased and calories and oil have increased. Eating more will easily affect cholesterol levels.
Moreover, it is still matched with alcohol, which is already harmful to the liver. Now that peanuts are added, the fat produced increases, which brings more pressure to the liver. Therefore, fried peanuts and alcohol are really not a "good match". If you like peanuts, you can eat raw flowers and boiled peanuts.
However, no matter what kind of peanut, it can't offset the harm of alcohol, because alcohol goes through the liver, blood vessels and nerves, and the harm is everywhere. Peanut is just an ordinary food, which has no function of repairing and detoxifying. After entering the stomach, it can only produce a small amount of protection of gastric mucosa, and it can't completely eliminate the stimulation caused by alcohol.
It should also be noted that peanuts are common allergens. It is best to taste a small amount before eating, and then continue eating if there is no reaction, as is the case with other foods containing peanuts. In addition, if the stomach has been removed, or there is a serious gastric ulcer, it is not recommended to eat more peanuts, because it is hard and smooth, and it may make the stomach uncomfortable if swallowed carelessly.
In any case, the way to eat peanuts is very important. Boiled peanuts and raw peanuts are healthy and suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. It is enough to ensure four or five peanuts or a small handful every day. Don't eat them as snacks. Mildew and fried are not recommended, and eating more is useless.
