Spring is here, everything is revived, and it's the annual "spring vegetable" season.
When it comes to spring vegetables, toon must be on the list! A few days ago, a pound of toon in Nanjing sold for 80 yuan, which attracted widespread attention and even rushed to the hot search.
For toon, people love and hate, people who like to eat it will think that toon is incomparably delicious, and people who do not like to eat always feel that toon has a strange taste.
In the comment area, netizens also successively Gave Me their favorite way of eating. Among them, the most mentioned way to eat is "toon scrambled eggs".
If you also like to eat toon scrambled eggs, then the following questions must be paid attention to!
A plate of toon scrambled eggs under the belly,
Old Peter's organ failure!
This is a news reported by the People's Daily in 2019, when a 75-year-old gentleman vomited and diarrhea, shivered and trembled after a meal, and was urgently sent to the hospital by his family.
In the hospital, the old man was diagnosed with food poisoning. Because of the deeper poisoning, it triggered a series of chain reactions, including kidney and liver failure.
The old man usually lives a regular life, and basically does not eat out, why is he still suffering from food poisoning?
According to the recollection of Lao Bo's family, Lao Bo had picked more than half a kilogram of toon buds from outside before he was poisoned. Because he loves to eat toon, lao bo casually handled the toon, put it together with the egg and fried it, and ate almost all the toon scrambled eggs in one breath.
Toon scrambled eggs, as a very common dish, why does it cause poisoning? Does this mean that we can't eat scrambled eggs with toon in the future?
In fact, the reason why this old man was poisoned was mainly because he had overdose.
Because the toon enriches the soil with nitrate during its growth, nitrate is converted into nitrite during cooking. We all know that nitrite is a very dangerous substance, our human body ingestion of 0.3-0.5g will be poisoned, about 3g may lead to death.
The average nitrite content in kilograms of toon is 30-60mg, which means that it is difficult for us to be poisoned by eating according to normal amounts. After all, putting aside the dose to talk about toxicity is to play hooligans, but I am afraid that everyone will not know moderation when eating, like the above old man is a typical example.
Of course, I personally feel that the above case may not have much to do with nitrite, according to the amount, half a pound of toon is not enough to cause such serious consequences, may be related to the old man's own immunity, and whether it is allergic.
That being said, we still have to pay more attention when eating!
Endless "toon accidents",
Sound the alarm for everyone!
In April 2017, a man in Jiangsu was rushed to the hospital after eating a pot of scrambled eggs with toon.
According to the man's later dictation, it turned out that he took the toon home that day and washed it with tap water, and then took the eggs and fried them. Because I thought it tasted good, I ate a few more bites, and after taking a nap, I began to have symptoms such as nausea and wanted to vomit.
Also in April of the same year, a man in Hebi also developed symptoms such as nausea and diarrhea after eating toon for two hours.
Looking at the above cases, either it is a casual cleaning or poisoning caused by eating too much. In fact, the toon is not as scary as we think, as long as it is handled and eaten correctly, the risk is still very low.
Blanch water before eating
Blanching water is one of the most direct and simple ways to reduce nitrite, generally after blanching for one minute, you can remove most of the nitrite and nitrate. What's more, the blanched water removes the bitter taste and reveals a turquoise color.
Choose young sprouts to eat
In the germination stage, the nitrite content of toon is also relatively low.
More than toon,
Blanch these 3 types of vegetables before eating!
Vegetables with high oxalic acid: spinach, amaranth, amaranth, purslane and bitter melon.
Because of the high content of oxalic acid in this type of vegetable, for people with a bad stomach and intestines, it may be stimulated to the gastric mucosa without boiling water. For healthy people, this type of vegetable taste is very bitter, if not blanched, it will affect the taste.
What's more, oxalic acid is soluble in water, so blanching water before frying can greatly alleviate the bitter taste.
Eat poisonous vegetables raw: lentils, long beans, green beans and fresh yellow cauliflower.
Pods such as lentils and four-season beans often contain a substance called saponin and phytohemagglutinin, which has a strong irritation to the mucous membranes of our digestive tract, and once ingested, there will be symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea, abdominal pain and so on.
The fresh yellow cauliflower contains a substance called colchicine, which will be converted into colchicine once it enters the human body. You know, the toxicity of these two colchicine is very strong.
Therefore, when this kind of vegetable is fried in the next pot, do not start the pot as soon as it is broken. The safest way is to blanch the water and then fry it.
Vegetables that are worried about pesticides and microbial residues: broccoli
Broccoli is the most difficult vegetable to wash thoroughly, if you are worried about microorganisms or pesticide residues, you can first wash it twice with water, and then soak it for ten minutes.
However, I recommend boiling water because it is more conducive to the cooking and taste of broccoli. It should be noted that it should be thoroughly cleaned before boiling, and after boiling, try to cool the water.
Precautions for blanching,
A lot of people never pay attention!
Blanching time is not too long, it is best to "wide water and fire, fast in and fast out", to minimize the loss of nutrients; when boiling water, can be the whole blanched water do not cut, can be large pieces of try not to cut into small pieces; vegetables after blanching water turn yellow? If you want to keep the color emerald green, you can add a little salt and oil when blanching water; if you want to maintain the taste of vegetables after boiling, you can blanch the vegetables and put them in ice water to cool down.
