Once a Shanghainese, bargaining.
Today's Shanghainese accept everything as ordered.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic in late March, the number of new local cases in Shanghai has gradually increased, and the city of 25 million people is also facing a severe test according to the needs of epidemic prevention and control.
On the one hand, the pressure of the epidemic has led to a run on medical resources, and even the tragedy of some patients being unable to get timely treatment and delaying treatment.
On the other hand, 25 million people are banned and insisted, express delivery, takeaway is equal to the traffic synchronous click on the pause button, people are also facing a most original question---- how to eat?
If the vegetables sprout, can they be eaten?
If the ingredients are not properly preserved, some vegetables will be easy to sprout and smoke a branch, if most people usually discard them in time.
But at this critical moment, "home vegetables arrive at ten thousand gold", it is difficult to stay up late to get the dishes that you grab, at this time it sprouted, wasn't the kung fu of that night done in vain?
However, when vegetables sprout, some can be eaten, and some cannot be eaten.
Sprouted potatoes cannot be eaten
When it comes to sprouted foods that are highly toxic, potatoes come to mind first.
In order to avoid pests nibbling on young buds and affecting the growth of germination, potatoes will have a natural mechanism to protect themselves, that is, to secrete a toxin called "dragon sunflower", which is mainly present in the rhizome of potatoes, which is the part that everyone usually eats.
Once you find that the potatoes are starting to sprout or turn green, please throw them away immediately for safety reasons.
Do not eat sprouted peanuts
The buds produced by the flowers, although not as toxin-rich as potatoes, are theoretically edible.
However, it is still recommended that you try not to eat it, once the peanut germinates, the shell and seed coat will be destroyed, resulting in easy contamination by mold.
In addition, the humidity and temperature suitable for germination are also very suitable for the propagation of mold, and the peanuts are rich in nutrients, which forms a hotbed for mold reproduction.
If the peanuts at home germinate, although the mold is not visible to the naked eye, it is likely that there is already mold, and it is safer to throw them away for safety.
Sprouted sweet potatoes, eat as appropriate
Sweet potato germination itself will not produce any harmful substances, after all, we occasionally eat sweet potato leaves.
However, the environmental conditions suitable for germination are likely to cause mildew, and mold will produce some toxins during growth and reproduction, such as sweet potato ketone, which is also a possible danger to sweet potato germination.
So whether you can eat it, we also need to check whether the sweet potato is moldy, once found abnormal, do not eat.
Sprouted taro can be eaten
Taro will also sprout if left for a long time. But the sprouted taro is free of toxins, and everyone can eat it with confidence.
From the perspective of nutrition, food is still better to eat fresh, this time the nutritional value is relatively high, once it is time to germinate, in order to support the growth of buds, it will definitely consume a lot of nutrients.
Sprouted garlic can be eaten
Garlic bought from the market, if the temperature is more appropriate, will soon sprout up.
Usually sprouted garlic, because a part of the nutrients are consumed, the garlic cloves will become dry, compared to fresh garlic, the taste will not be so good, but the sprouted garlic does not produce any toxic substances, or can be eaten with confidence.
All in all, in the final analysis, whether food can be eaten or not depends not on whether it germinates or not, but on whether it produces toxic substances after germination.
However, for vegetables, freshness is the most important quality assurance, and once they germinate, it also means that the food has missed the optimal use period.
But for Shanghainese who are now in the lockdown period, they must also learn to adjust their mentality, pay attention to food preservation every day, and ensure that the vegetables they have stolen are not wasted.
However, fortunately, the number of new cases is gradually declining, and the material transport of the epidemic is gradually improving.
It is hoped that the city can soon return to its former elegance and calmness.
