What is the most beautiful sound in summer? There is no more crisp sound than when you break the watermelon. If there is one taste to describe summer, it must be the taste of watermelon.
It not only tastes sweet and has a high moisture content, but also has the effect of cooling down and removing heat, eating a piece of watermelon in hot weather, as if the heat on the body has dissipated.
Many people like to dig and eat directly with a spoon when buying it home. Eating from the sweetest center, it is simply too happy ~~
However, watermelon digging and eating, refreshing is not necessarily the healthiest way! The main reason is that it is easy to eat more, which brings these health risks to the body:
1. Increased blood sugar in the body
The sugar content of watermelon is 5.8% on average, and the sugar content of different varieties is different, mainly fructose. Watermelon has a higher glycemic index (GI) than fruits such as apples, peaches, plums, and grapes.
2. Hurt the spleen and stomach
Watermelon is a cold food, easy to hurt the spleen and stomach, even normal people should not eat too much, otherwise it will damage the spleen and stomach and cause indigestion or diarrhea.
Although eating ice watermelon on hot days has a good effect on relieving heat, it is very stimulating to the stomach and is easy to cause spleen and stomach damage, so you should pay attention to grasping the temperature and quantity of good food.
How much watermelon is better to eat at once?
You can eat 1~2 pounds of watermelon at a time (about 1/6 of an ordinary watermelon). This is about 150~200 kcal, which is almost a small bowl of white rice.
When you go to a fruit store or the side of the road, you will often see watermelon cut in half and sold it. At first, Mei Mei thought that the watermelon should be too big, and the family members may not be able to finish eating, so this is for the sake of consumers. Later, after listening to the explanation of the owner of the fruit store, I found out that it was like this.......
1. Red will make appetite stronger
People's appetite will be affected by color, watermelon skin is green, watermelon flesh is red, and red can increase appetite, when people see red, appetite will become strong.
Originally, you may not want to eat watermelon, see a whole watermelon and do not really want to eat watermelon, then if you see the cut watermelon, see the red watermelon flesh, you will instantly want to eat watermelon.
Therefore, watermelon cut and sold, will invisibly mobilize everyone's desire to eat watermelon and increase sales.
2. It is convenient to see the quality of watermelon
Cut the watermelon open, you can clearly see the quality of the watermelon.
Many people will not choose watermelon, often buy too raw or too ripe watermelon, then the merchant will divide the watermelon into two to sell, so that we can intuitively see the watermelon good and bad, cooked and unripe, than we pat the watermelon with our hands to listen to the sound.
And it is more convenient for customers to choose, and it also saves everyone's time.
3. Avoid waste
Now many people live alone, and some watermelons are so large that they can't eat them when they buy them home. So buy half a watermelon, you can eat it in a short time, and you don't have to worry that the watermelon will break if you leave it for too long.
4. The price is cheap and easy to sell
Although watermelon is not expensive, when it first went on the market, a whole watermelon also cost dozens of dollars, cut in half, and the price of half a watermelon often only needs a dozen yuan, which is more acceptable to everyone.
Although the price of watermelon has not changed, it will invisibly give people a feeling of cheapness, and more people will buy it, increasing sales.
