Everyone's life has to go through several storms and waves, and for these so-called "unusual" foods, they also have to fall from a height, see if you have ever misbelieved?
Once all the rage, these 3 "expensive" foods turned out to have really ordinary nutritional value, and they were not as exaggerated as the legend said.
1. Ejiao
Even now, there are many people who like to give gifts to Ejiao, which is known as the "blood tonic holy product", which is very suitable for people who are weak after childbirth, recovering from serious illness, and have a double loss of qi and blood. Not only that, but it is also said that ordinary people can also beautify their beauty after eating.
And its price has been hyped up to thousands of yuan per 100 grams before, but what about the facts, it is more and more withdrawn from the "rivers and lakes", and it has been seen clearly by some people.
What is real Ejiao? Ejiao, as we all know, is made from donkey skin, which does contain nutrients needed by the body, such as protein, amino acids needed by the human body, calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, zinc and other nutrients.
But if you want to replenish blood, it is not so simple, you must know that the iron content in every 100 grams of ejiao is only about 4.7mg, which is far inferior to pork liver, duck blood, chicken blood and other blood-replenishing ingredients. There is no evidence to confirm the beauty and anti-aging, and the price is high, so there is no need to be overly superstitious.
2. Saffron
In the gastronomic world, saffron is especially loved by women. It is rumored that saffron is the "imperial flower", which itself has a very special fragrance, and is the same source of medicine and food.
The price can be seen by everyone, some are thousands of yuan a catty, and some are tens of thousands of yuan a catty, and the price is very expensive. But in fact, for people in good health, there is no need to over-pursue saffron, and do not overeat, otherwise it is easy to stimulate the body's nervous system and make you feel uncomfortable such as mental excitement.
3. Cordyceps
Once Cordyceps sinensis was praised to the sky, and its value was as high as tens of thousands, and for its identity, it seems that many people are still in a state of "confusion". Is it medicine, food, or health supplements?
In fact, according to the "Propolis, Cordyceps Sinensis and Other Names Shall Not Be Hung with the Name of "Food", it has been clearly pointed out that the Ministry of Health has not approved the use of Cordyceps sinensis as an ordinary food raw material. In addition, it should not be ignored that due to improper storage and other problems, the surface of Cordyceps sinensis may also have more parasites and other components attached.
This is also the reason why cordyceps sinensis is best fried and drunk, boiled and drunk, as for itself, it is not so high nutritional value, it is better to eat wolfberry, astragalus, American ginseng and other civilian foods.
