Too long to look at
Winter dates are rich in vitamin C, but the sugar content and calories are not low, do not eat too much at a time. [In addition, there is a typo in the title, do you see it?] 】
——————————————
Jujube is native to China, has thousands of years of planting history, "Shijing" has a record of "peeling dates in August", Lu Xun also wrote that "my family has two trees, one is a jujube tree, the other is also a jujube tree", in addition, China is also an important source of jujube resources, 90% of the world's jujubes are produced in China.
Winter is coming, of course, to talk about winter dates (although it can be marketed in the summer, but because it matures later than other dates, it is called winter dates).
Two nutritional characteristics
Jujube is rich in sugars and phosphorus, calcium, iron and other mineral elements, vitamin C, carotene, B vitamins and other vitamins, as well as phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, iron and other minerals, is a kind of inexpensive nutritional fruit, said to be the "all-round champion" in the fruit is not exaggerated.
There are two nutritional characteristics that should be mentioned in particular.
| vitamin C content is very rich
The vitamin C content of each variety of fresh dates is very rich, and the average content of vitamin C per 100 grams of winter dates is as high as 243 mg / 100 g, which is 10 times higher than the vitamin C lemon that people think, and eating five or six can meet the vitamin C needs of a day.
Even if the vitamin C is lost a lot after dry dates, it is still much higher than apples.
| sugar is really lots
The calories per 100g of winter dates (about 6-7) are about 100 kcal, which is almost the same as steamed rice.
The sugar content is 25% to 38% (30.5% of the Chinese food composition table data), and the calorie and sugar content after making dried dates will be more (the Chinese food composition table data is 67.8%).
So really don't take one by one, especially the kind of dates that have also been processed with a lot of added sugar, and you have to quit eating half a pack at a time.
Five frequently asked questions
|what is the relationship between red dates and winter dates? Can it replenish blood?
Red dates are dried dates, made from ripe, fresh dates. Winter jujubes are generally fresh dates, but the varieties commonly used to make red dates are gray dates, jujubes, and golden jujubes.
The iron content in dried dates is high in more vegetables and fruits, and it is not as good as spinach and other foods rich in oxalic acid that inhibit iron absorption (vitamin C can also promote iron absorption), which is still good for women with high incidence of iron deficiency anemia.
But it's best not to just expect it to be replenished. After all, women need 20mg of iron per day, and the total amount of iron in the dates is still too small, and the absorption rate is not high. Mainly through the intake of red meat, blood products and other animal foods to supplement iron.
| rich in protein?
Some people say that dates are rich in protein and contain 8 essential amino acid clouds.
First of all, strictly speaking, we generally say what kind of nutrients a food is rich in, the so-called richness is a standard can not be said, for example, when the protein content in processed food ≥ 12g/100g or ≥6g/100ml or ≥6g/420kJ, you can claim "high" protein or "rich" protein.
The protein content of jujube does not meet this standard.
Secondly, only "containing" 8 essential amino acids are not equal to the proportion of our needs, if there is an extremely low content of amino acids, in fact, it is difficult for the human body to use the protein in this food.
So don't expect to eat dates to supplement protein.
| is it better to eat fresh dates or dried dates?
First of all, dried dates are actually date products obtained by drying or drying fresh dates, which is what we often call red dates.
After the dates are dried, the type and amount of nutrients do not increase significantly, but the sugar content is greatly improved, and the content of vitamin C is greatly reduced. (Vitamin C plummets from 243 mg to 14 mg/100 g)
Therefore, it is better to eat fresh dates.
| how to choose
Be careful that the surface red is very neatly distributed, or the bluish-red divide is obvious, as it may be hot. You can try one before buying, if it is only sweet in the skin, dried dates, chai, sour, then it is best not to buy.
How are | seedless dates denucleated? Grandma again?
No! Now it's all machine assembly line work, see the GIF below.
