There are 4 kinds of ingredients that are often "faked" on the market, many people like to eat them, so don't buy them after reading them
With the continuous progress and development of society, people's requirements for food are getting higher and higher. However, there are some ingredients on the market that are difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, and we have to be vigilant about what we eat. Among them, there are four ingredients that are particularly easy to counterfeit, and these four ingredients are the ones we buy and eat regularly. For the sake of our own health and that of our families, let's take a look at these ingredients!
Ham sausage – fickle disguise
Ham sausage, whether adults or children, everyone loves its unique aroma and taste. There are a variety of ham sausages on the market, including pork, cod, chicken, and more. However, there are some inexpensive and overly pink ham sausages, which are usually made by soaking in the pigment, most of which is starch. These ham sausages have a flat and bland taste, and even have a weird taste. These are some of the manifestations of fake ham sausages on the market.
For this kind of ham sausage, eating it is not good for the body, so we should be vigilant and try to choose fresh ham sausage in the supermarket. Those ham sausages that are too cheap are usually not very good, keep that in mind. Especially those boxes of ham sausages purchased online, they are obviously made of red pigment and starch, don't eat too much, because the impact on the body is too great.
Fish tofu – false taste
Fish tofu is a common ingredient in hot pot and spicy tang because of its tender taste. However, many fish tofu on the market is not made from real fish, but is synthesized from flour, starch and other spices. Regular consumption of these fake fish tofu also has a great impact on the body, especially those tofu that has been frozen for too long, and we try to eat as little as possible.
Duck blood - fake crispy
Duck blood is another ingredient that can be easily faked, and it is similar to pig blood. The duck blood we usually eat, it should be slightly fishy and crispy, but some duck blood is too Q-bomb, and it will burst the juice when you bite into it. This duck blood is usually synthesized with chicken blood, pig blood, and other pigments, making it difficult to distinguish. The only way to experience it is when you eat it.
Don't know how to tell the real from the fake duck blood? Let me share with you a little method. We first cut the duck blood we bought back into small pieces, and clamp it with chopsticks, if it can be easily crushed, it means that it is real, and you can buy it with confidence. If it can't be crushed no matter how you clip it, it means that gel or carrageenan and other substances are added to it, and such duck blood is not recommended to buy, and it has too much impact on the body.
Sweet potato vermicelli – hidden silica gel
Sweet potato vermicelli is one of our most common ingredients, and many people like to buy the kind of vermicelli that is particularly dull in color. However, later I learned that the sweet potato vermicelli, which was particularly dark in color, was very likely to be fake, and a large amount of silicone was added to it in order to pursue more profits. Such vermicelli tastes similar to sweet potato vermicelli, but it is not good for the body when consumed for a long time.
If we go to pick vermicelli, we can actually tell whether silicone is added in a simple way. We take out a vermicelli directly and fold it by hand, and if it can be easily broken, it means that it is true, because the vermicelli is made of starch. If you keep breaking it, it means that you have added silicone, and eating too much will have a great impact on your health, especially if you are not good for your child's development.
These are the four most easily counterfeited ingredients on the market. I hope that through the introduction and methods of this article, you can be more vigilant, choose healthy ingredients, and protect the health of yourself and your family. Remember, be careful when buying ingredients and don't let counterfeiters take advantage of them!
