People who like to eat Japanese food can't resist delicious and tender raw fish or fresh food, but there is always a worry and hidden danger when eating raw food, that is, they are afraid that parasites will entangle themselves. At this time, everyone will say, just add some mustard and squeeze some lemon juice. In fact, this is all a misunderstanding!

1 lemon juice

Many people add lemon juice when eating raw fish, thinking that this action can kill parasites with acidic lemon juice. In fact, lemon is often added or pickled raw fish with lemon juice to enhance flavor, but it has nothing to do with killing parasites.

2 mustard

When eating sushi, many people are used to adding mustard, especially fish. They think mustard has the function of killing bacteria and parasites. In fact, no matter wine, vinegar, mustard or spices, it can't kill marine parasites, so you don't have to intentionally add mustard to choke yourself next time.

3 brine

There are also some people who soak raw fish and seafood in salt water. If the salt concentration is high enough, it can indeed kill parasitic eggs on seafood, but if the time is not long enough and the salt concentration is not high, the effect of killing parasites is also very limited.

4 cold storage

Refrigeration is an effective way. If raw fish can be frozen at minus 35 degrees for 20 hours, the parasites in the fish can be greatly killed. But workdinary families, or small restaurants should not be able to achieve the function of refrigeration to below zero, so ordinary refrigeration is not working!

In fact, eating raw food, especially raw fish and seafood, will inevitably have parasites, which is why it is suggested that the elderly, pregnant women, children and people with poor immune system should not eat fresh food. But also to ensure that the source of the restaurant is credible, in order to reduce the illness caused by eating raw food.
