Eating pickles will not cause cancer. Although there is nitrite in pickles, the amount we eat every day will not be harmful to our health unless we eat a lot every day. In addition, in the pickling process, although the nitrite content of pickles will be higher in a few days to ten days, it will gradually decrease after 20~30 days, reaching a very safe level. In other words, eating pickled pickles for about a month is basically harmless to the body and has little carcinogenicity.

Dietary precautions of kimchi

1. Eat fresh pickled food.

In our daily life, we must eat fresh pickled food. If you eat pickled vegetables and meat, it is easy to lead to an increase in nitrite. After these substances enter the body, they can easily react with biogenic amines in the stomach through the action of gastric acid, and eventually form nitrosamines, which have certain carcinogenicity.

2. Pay attention to the consumption of kimchi

In our daily life, we often hear that pickled food is bad for our health, mainly because it contains high sodium salt. If you eat too much, it will lead to too much sodium salt entering the body. However, high concentration of sodium can easily lead to problems in diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure of blood vessels in the body, which will easily lead to a great increase in the risk of hypertension in the body in the long run. Therefore, when we eat pickles in our life, we must eat as little as possible and not too much; Generally speaking, we should not consume more than 6 grams of salt every day, otherwise it will easily cause unnecessary problems to our health in the long run.

3. Pay attention to the duration of food curing.

Pickled food is between a few days and ten days, and its nitrite content is very high; Usually, after more than half a month or a month, the nitrite content in pickled food will continue to decline; Usually, as long as the food is preserved for 20 days, the residual nitrite in it is already within the safe level, and it can be eaten with peace of mind at this time. In addition, if we usually pickle food, in order to effectively reduce nitrite in pickled food, we might as well put some vitamin C in it, which can effectively hinder the formation of nitrite; So as to reduce the nitrite content in pickled food to a certain extent.
