potato chip? Spicy strips? Are there still small dried fish?
In the snack world, there is certainly a place for small dried fish that is full of fresh flavor.
When I ate it, it was really pack after packet, and I couldn't stop at all.
But do you know what kind of fish is made of 1 yuan / bag of small dried fish in the supermarket? Is there any nutritional value? Is eating too much harmful to the body?
Don't patronize and eat, take a look!
Small dried fish for 1 yuan / bag in the supermarket,
What kind of fish is it made of?
The small dried fish for 1 yuan / bag in the supermarket is basically made for two kinds of fish - anchovy and silver fish. Both species of fish are small fish that can be eaten holistically without the need for scales, fins, heads and organs. In addition to fresh food, most of it is dried and processed into dried products or small snacks collectively known as "sea catfish".
What is the nutritional value of dried fish?
These two small fish are high-quality protein aquatic products and contain a variety of nutrients such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc and vitamin A, but because other restricted intake ingredients are not low, they cannot be regarded as foods with high nutritional value and health components. The nutritional characteristics of this fish have the following pros and cons:
Silver fish is a rare, edible part of the high-quality protein aquatic products with a high content of 100%. Dried silver fish is for preservation and transportation. Dried silver fish made of exposure, as the moisture content decreases, its nutrients are concentrated, but the color, aroma, taste and shape will remain unchanged for a long time, which can be perfectly matched with a variety of ingredients.
According to the Chinese Food Ingredient List (Second Edition), fresh silver fish has a high protein content of 17.2g/100g. However, the content of fat and cholesterol is not low, 4g/100g and 361mg/100g respectively. From the available information, it can be seen that each 100 grams of sun-dried silver fish contains 72.1 grams of protein and 13 grams of fat.
Dried anchovy is the main force in small packages of dried salted fish in supermarkets, and it is also a food with high protein and fat content. According to the literature data, the total amount of dried crude protein of anchovies is 59.4%, and the fat content is as high as 16.0%, of which saturated fatty acids (SFA) account for 60.0% of the total fatty acids.
It can be seen that 1 yuan 1 pack of small dried fish is not suitable for everyone, especially people with dyslipidemia or weight control. However, in the case of insufficient protein intake at meals, such as eating only rice porridge or nibbling bread for breakfast, choosing dried fish as a snack can better supplement nutrition and protect immunity.
Can you eat dried fish with confidence?
From the perspective of food safety, small packages of dried fish in supermarkets can be eaten with confidence.
From June 18, 2021, all enterprises producing and processing small dried fish from edible fish must implement the group standard "Flavor Cooked Dried Fish (T/CAPPMA 01-2021)" approved by the Standardization Technical Committee of the China Aquatic Products Circulation and Processing Association. That is to say, the small dried fish that is currently sold for 1 yuan and 1 pack on the market, its raw material processing and the added ingredients are in line with relevant food safety standards, and can be eaten with confidence.
However, from a nutritional point of view, small dried fish really can not be eaten. As mentioned above, small dried fish is high in fat and calories, although it is also a high-protein food, but it can not play a weight loss and muscle gain effect like chicken breast or dried tofu, but will become an energy bomb.
More importantly, the sodium content of dried fish is not low, and in order to change the fishy taste of dried fish during processing, it is inevitable to add antiseptic and bacteriostatic additives to increase color and improve taste. Even if the amount of additives is within the standard range, if consumed uncontrolled, it is likely to lead to the accumulation of indoctrination in the body of young children, pregnant women and elderly and frail people, causing harm to their health.
What to pay attention to when eating snacks?
Scientifically correct choice of snacks can supplement the nutritional and energy deficiencies of the meal, maintain vitality and good health, that is, choose low-fat, low-salt, no added sugar foods that are not processed or low-processed, such as soybeans, yogurt, fruits, steamed or roasted potatoes and nuts in moderation.
However, once the wrong snack is chosen and developed into a long-term habit, it will lead to health problems such as energy exceeding standards and nutritional imbalances, especially for children and adolescents, which will affect their normal growth and development, and lay hidden dangers for the occurrence of certain diseases in adulthood.
Such as spicy strips, potato chips... It is the wrong snack choice, which not only belongs to high oil, heavy salt, delicate carbs, stimulating taste bud addiction food, but also may have a variety of additives, pigments, sweeteners and even heavy metals exceeding the standard and pollution problems, which should pay special attention to, try to eat less or do not eat this snack, especially in special physiological periods.
