Are cold vegetables less nutritious than fresh vegetables? Nutritionist Li Wanping pointed out that this may be a myth that the people often misunderstand! In fact, when fruits and vegetables are harvested, vitamins and antioxidants have gradually been lost. Instead, cold vegetables can avoid continuous oxidation due to good and fast cold storage technology, and can also keep food nutrients in place!
Although cold-fried vegetables are convenient, they have low nutritional value? mistaken! Li Wanping posted a text on her face fan page to crack the common myths of cold-fried vegetables. When fruits and vegetables are harvested, vitamins and antioxidants have gradually been lost. Before the ingredients are quickly refrigerated, cold-fried vegetables will first kill the cyanine-fried vegetables, so that the enzymes in the plants will be stopped first and avoid continuous oxidation. Therefore, don’t say that cold-fried vegetables are the most nutritious vegetables.
No washing and free relieving"Although some vitamins and minerals will be lost during the cold cooking process, just like the general principle of cooking, some nutrients will be lost." Li Wanping said that if the cold cooking environment and transportation process can maintain good quality, it is fine for cold vegetables to be stored for more than half a year. Some foreign research also pointed out that chilled blue and broccoli can even maintain more nutritional value than fresh vegetables that are kept in the refrigerator for 3 to 7 days.
In addition, people often wonder, "Can cold vegetables be cleaned without washing? Do you need to be cleaned before eating?" Li Wanping said that cold vegetables have been washed before the market, so they do not need to be cleaned after buying them home. She also reminded that cold vegetables do not need to be dehydrated, and they can be cooked directly to heat up, which can prevent nutrients from being damaged.
As for the fact that if you buy too many fresh vegetables and can't finish cooking, you can put them in the refrigerator and cook them. You can also cook them first and then cook them again. Can you pick them up when you want to eat them? Li Wanping said: "The principle is OK, but the color and taste will change." Therefore, there are not many vegetables that can actually be made into cold dishes, because the color and taste will be considered. In addition to three-color vegetables and cauliflower, green beans and edamame can also be made into cold vegetables.
How to choose cold-fried vegetablesNutritionist Wang Jiewei also pointed out on his face fan page that if you want to eat cold-fried vegetables and eat them healthily, you should pay attention to whether there is ice crystal shape on the vegetables caused by rapid cold-fried vegetables. Rapid chilling is the best way to preserve the freshness of nutrients and ingredients. Most of the ice crystal particles produced are more delicate; if the cold chilling is slow or repeated chilling, the ice crystal particles are larger, and the freshness of the ingredients will be damaged.
In addition, it is best to choose cold-fried vegetables with similar nutritional value to raw foods, such as peas, green beans, croaker, spinach and green cabbage. Research has found that these fresh vegetables have similar antioxidant activities and nutrients compared with cold-fried conditions; interestingly, the skin of peas helps preserve the nutrients of the kernel, and cold-fried peas even contain a higher &beta than fresh peas when cooked.
Wang Jie reminds that although cold vegetables will lose some nutrients, they can cook by adding additional fresh vegetables when cooking. The two can reduce the time spent on cooking and also take into account the nutrients needed by the whole person. As for the best cooking time for cold vegetables, you must also grasp it well. Because cold vegetables have been killed, overcooking may become soft and not delicious. It is recommended to put the time for cold vegetables to be cooked, which usually only needs to be at the end to preserve the nutrition and taste at the same time.
