Introduction: Recently the weather has been dry. We should eat some ingredients that nourish the yin and maintain health. Ducks are one of them, so do you know the nutritional value of ducks? What parts of the duck can not be eaten, and how to make the duck delicious? Today, the little editor will bring you an article on how to eat ducks.
Brand duck neck shops pay great attention to the treatment of lymph nodes. Do you often buy duck necks in small workshops or live ducks at bazaars? If you find a nodule the size of a soybean grain on the neck of a duck, be careful. After a week of investigation, our reporter found that although the brand duck neck shop is more standardized in the treatment of lymph nodes, a large number of untreated duck necks in some bazaars and individual food stores flow into the citizens' tables, and the public's awareness of protection is weak and worrying.
"Lymph nodes are immune by devouring bacteria and viruses, and the neck is a relatively concentrated part of the animal lymph nodes, and the virus and bacteria will remain in large quantities and appear as nodular. Long-term consumption of duck necks with lymph nodes is certainly not healthy. Du Jinping, a researcher at the Animal Husbandry Research Institute of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said.
Small workshop whole duck lymph nodes untreated
In Wuchang and Hankou, the reporter investigated 3 large chain stores (Jingwu and Zhou Black Duck), 4 bazaars and small stalls in the vegetable market. The three chain stores are located in Wuchang Parade Farm, Jiejiekou and Wusheng Road, and the duck necks sold are peeled, generally the lymph nodes are on the duck skin, and the whole duck is also stripped of lymph nodes before the slaughterhouse appears, and then boiled at a high temperature of 100 degrees Celsius.
Big companies are guaranteed, how about small workshops? In a residential area in Nanhu, the reporter found a stall selling halogen products. The reporter observed that the neck of the duck was skinned, while the whole duck was not. "Boss, have the lymph nodes in this duck's neck been removed?" The reporter pointed to a whole duck and asked, "Removed." The middle-aged man in his early forties replied. The reporter inquired further, and the boss either answered the question or was fragmented. The reporter noticed that in the neck of the duck, there are a large number of nodules the size of soybean grains. This phenomenon has been the case with every family in subsequent visits.
Among the 4 private stalls surveyed, 3 could not describe the location of the lymph nodes in detail, and when asked about the purchase channel, the other party said that he was looking for an acquaintance to buy back the live duck and then deal with it himself, "You have only heard about the lymphatic problem, the duck neck industry is like this, just like many viruses have not been overcome, or you can eat appropriately." One of the female bosses told reporters. Only a vendor at huashi's south gate said that the lymph nodes were all on the skin of the duck and were peeled off when they were processed.
Citizens have never heard of this problem
At a large bazaar on Wusheng Road, all stalls selling whole ducks with fresh produce do not treat lymph nodes. Citizens' awareness of protection is even more worrying. When asked about the treatment of lymph nodes, Ms. Deng, who was picking live ducks, looked dazed and said that she had never heard of the problem.
"I've heard you can't eat more duck neck, but I don't know why?" Miss Dou has told many consumers the big truth. Miss Dou's family lives in Zhuo Daoquan, saying that she especially loves to eat duck neck, buy 2 or 3 nibbles when there is nothing to do, sometimes buy on a small cart in front of the house, sometimes buy in a large chain store, but each time the duck neck is different, some are very smooth, some have a lot of attachments on it, until a few days ago, a friend told her that eating too much duck neck may cause disease, because the lymph nodes can not eat, she began to observe the duck neck she bought back.
The reporter interviewed 20 citizens at random. 18 people can't say how to identify lymph nodes, and they also admit that every time they eat duck neck, they pick it up and nibble it, never look at it.
Expert: Long-term consumption of duck necks with lymph nodes is not healthy
"Long-term consumption of duck necks with lymph nodes is definitely not healthy." Du Jinping, a researcher at the Animal Husbandry Research Institute of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, introduced that this is because there are more lymphoid tissues in the neck of the duck, usually manifested as nodules the size of soybean grains, if the lymph is not removed during the processing process, or in the case of late cooking and cooking processing, the temperature is not high enough and the time is not long enough, the virus bacteria that have not yet been killed will remain in the human body.
"During the breeding process, farmers often get antibiotics and vaccines to prevent livestock from getting sick." Professor Zhang Dabing of the College of Veterinary Medicine of China Agricultural University introduced that due to the different breeding conditions in various places, in order to prevent plague, viral hepatitis, duck serositis and other diseases, breeders in different regions need to inject ducks with drugs and other vaccines, and some of the immune active substances brought by these vaccines and antibiotics will also exist in the neck of ducks for a long time. People who consume these active substances for a long time are affected by them and may also develop antibiotic resistance.
"The duck neck made by some small workshops is likely not completely treated with lymph nodes, or even cooked." Du Jinping said that Guangdong has a "white chop" cooking method, the live chicken and duck are directly blanched in hot water after the hair is eaten, which is not recommended, because it is likely that the viruses and bacteria in the lymph nodes will not be eliminated in a short period of time.
