"Seven things to open the door, chai rice oil salt sauce vinegar tea"; when it comes to eating, it has to be said that everyone is concerned about one thing; if you want to make a delicious dish, you must have high-quality and healthy ingredients, when it comes to ingredients, I want to talk to you about "the common umami ingredients on the Chinese family table - fresh chicken and meat". Chicken, one of the most common meat foods, is delicious and rich in some other nutrients such as abundant high-quality protein. It is precisely because chicken is "sparkling and cute", and the "gossip" about it is spread all over the online platform. Some people say that many parts of the chicken body can not be eaten, otherwise it will be poisoned; others say that chicken meat contains a lot of hormonal substances, often eating is easy to affect the development of children. All kinds of remarks are thought-provoking, in fact, there are still some differences from what you think; polish your eyes to see the truth, and may you be healthy to "eat chicken".
What parts of the chicken can't be eaten?
Some people say that "chicken butt can not be eaten, otherwise it is harmful to the body". In fact, about the chicken butt should be treated differently, chicken butt, because it contains two kinds of glands that can not be eaten (supralutar and tail fat gland), it is not recommended that you eat, but in fact, you have removed the chicken butt in the chicken sold in the regular supermarket (commercial slaughter), you do not have to worry at all; of course, if you are killing the chicken at home, the chicken ass is still directly thrown away, do not leave hidden dangers for your body.
It is rumored that "the chicken head is the part of the chicken that cannot be eaten, and its toxicity is even stronger than arsenic", in fact, this is an out-and-out rumor. Speaking of facts, although the chicken eats through the mouth (the part of the chicken's head), the food must be absorbed into the gastrointestinal tract and then enter the bloodstream, even if there are really toxin substances, it also needs to be metabolized through the liver and kidneys, and it will not accumulate to the so-called head at all. If you give a chicken head a reason why it can't be eaten, it can only be said that its appearance is somewhat "terrible".
There is also a part of the chicken that has attracted a lot of people's attention, it is the "chicken wing tip", many people say "the chicken wing tip is the part where the chicken is injected, where it is easy to accumulate antibiotics, harmful to the body"; but this is not the case, chickens may indeed use antibiotics in the intensive breeding process, but some antibiotics are injection-type, the injection site will generally choose the place where the skin is looser, and generally choose under the wing, that is, under the wings, rather than the "wing tip" that you all think. What you need to pay more attention to is that the chicken will quickly spread to all parts of the body after the injection, if the place where the needle is injected cannot be eaten, then all the places on the chicken body seem to be unable to eat, do you think it is possible?
Can't eat the offal on the chicken? Saying that chicken offal can not be eaten, mainly because the legend that chicken offal is prone to the residue of toxin substances in this part; in fact, similar to chicken heart, chicken gizzard, chicken intestines, chicken liver, chicken kidneys and other parts of chicken offal may indeed have harmful substance residues, compared to chicken meat may be more, but not as terrible as everyone thinks, taste the taste can be, not often eat the problem is not big.
In contrast, the part you are not recommended to eat is "chicken skin":
From the perspective of health, chicken skin is not recommended for everyone to eat the part, chicken skin contains more fatty substances, its saturated fatty acid content is higher, regular consumption is easy to increase the risk of obesity, high blood lipids, diabetes, gout and other problems, for the modern health of the consider, it is not recommended to eat.
Rooster or hen, which is better?
Speaking of fundamentals, roosters and hens have almost the same nutrients compared to they, and hens are only more "parenting" than roosters; it is recommended that you enjoy delicious chicken when eating chicken, and there is no need to study the problem of "rooster PK hen".
Chicken is easy to contain hormone substances, after eating it is easy to affect the normal growth and development of children?
Taken together, this is a poor statement.
Speaking of fundamentally, after a long cultivation period, the broiler breed has grown very fast, and there is really no need to add additional hormones to promote the purpose of ripening. In other words, assuming that the chicken is additionally added with hormonal substances, it is easy to increase the liver and cardiovascular burden of the chicken, and even easily increase the risk of death.
Speaking of which, in fact, there will be no merchant who will feed hormones to chickens, and it will not affect the normal development of children because of this matter.
For "caged chickens", free-range native chickens are better nutritious and tasted?
This statement, like the "native egg theory", has been "spread" by everyone. Buy chicken and buy native chicken (hang out chicken), such chicken is more delicious and nutritious, really?
From the perspective of food safety, caged chickens have a more standardized health and epidemic prevention management system, and its safety and health are relatively more secure; the so-called "native chickens" have disadvantages in this regard, without supervision, health quality is prone to problems, such as various avian influenza.
From the perspective of tasting taste, many people feel that the taste of native chicken will be better and feel more fragrant. Fundamentally, the chicken is more fragrant to eat because compared to the intensive breeding of broiler chickens, the amount of movement of the chicken is greater, the chicken meat will be relatively more elastic, plus the chicken likes to eat insects and other wild foods, more than the feed will have more so-called "flavor substances", eating will naturally feel more fragrant, but in fact, there is not much difference.
From a nutritional point of view, whether it is protein or fat, or vitamins and minerals, there is no significant difference between caged chickens and free-range chickens, and the difference is negligible.
From a price point of view, the cost of caged chickens is relatively low; coupled with various advertising gimmicks, free-range chickens will naturally sell more expensive.
Therefore, the safety and health level of the "caged chicken" that regulates intensive breeding is more secure and the price is relatively lower; the so-called "hanging chicken" is slightly better in taste, but the price is more expensive; that is, if the free-range chicken can ensure its safety, you can buy it at will, the difference between the two is not large, because you can't eat much yourself.
Chicken is a meat food that is very recommended for everyone to eat:
Chicken, poultry food in the representative substance, compared to the pig beef mutton you often eat, chicken meat has the characteristics of "low fat, high protein, low calorie and low cholesterol", high nutrition and high absorption rate, is a good tonic meat, even its product (eggs) is also quite excellent, known as "perfect food".
Healthy "eating chicken" should avoid misunderstandings:
Healthy "eat chicken", chicken skin should be removed:
Considering health factors, it is recommended that everyone can be peeled when eating chicken, chicken skin contains more lipid substances, regular consumption is easy to increase the risk of obesity, high blood lipids, diabetes and other problems; please note: eat chicken to peel.
For chickens, heat up completely:
In order to ensure the safety of eating chicken, in order not to add trouble to the body, when eating chicken, it must be heated and cooked completely.
The "Food Safety Precautions for H7N9 Avian Influenza Virus" issued by the National Food Safety Risk Assessment Center points out that avian influenza viruses are generally sensitive to heat and can be "killed" by heating at 65 °C for 30 minutes or boiling (100 °C) for more than 2 minutes.
Therefore, if you want to ensure that you eat a safe and secure chicken, please rely on the temperature and time, and the food you enter will be safer.
Low temperature cooking is more reliable:
In contrast, the meat of chicken is relatively tender, and its taste is more delicious, it is recommended that you use the low temperature cooking method of steaming and stewing to heat it, restore the true taste of food, and taste delicious.
Relatively speaking, try to avoid choosing to use the high-temperature cooking method of frying and roasting to process the chicken, on the one hand, to reduce the intake of fatty substances, on the other hand, you can also avoid the intake of carcinogens produced by high-temperature cooking.
Note: Although fried chicken is delicious, it is easy to eat you as a fat person, taste it, please do not "greedy cup".
Some people want to eat less "chicken":
First of all, if you have an allergy to chicken, refuse to eat chicken to avoid adding annoyance to your body due to eating chicken.
Secondly, if you have a chronic disease such as gout, please strictly control the amount of chicken you eat, refuse to drink chicken soup, and avoid ingesting more purine substances, which will aggravate the condition.
In the end, your "fat" is only clear to yourself, assuming that you are already very fat, then "taste it".
Chickens, although just a bird, are rich in the "health" that you all did not expect. Reliable to eat chicken, eat what should be eaten, refuse what not to eat, put aside rumors you can eat more clearly. Eat chicken healthy, restore health, buy safe ingredients, and may you absorb the highest quality nutrients in chicken.
