Fruit juice can be said to be a physical way of eating fruits, and it is also a way of eating that has been controversial in recent years. Compared with directly nibbling on the fruit, the juice can make up for the hollowness in the taste, so the juice has a lot of fans.
The fruit juice that has been drunk for thousands of years is now called lack of nutrition. I have to say one thing that's hot now: Nutrition experts say that juice is no healthier than cola. The experts have good reasons and, of course, scientific evidence. Mainly from the process of juice analysis, to the juicer at high speed to destroy the ascorbic acid oxidase, so that vitamin C is oxidized, resulting in nutrient loss, and the juice process will destroy the fruit fiber, after filtering, most of the remaining is just fructose. This is really not as good as drinking Coke, at least the theory of experts seems invulnerable.
I don't disagree with the experts, but too professional can only be used as a reference, because the experts do not say how to solve the problem of making juice is the maximum nutrient retention. There is no absolute healthy food in this world, but individuals take what the body needs, and when they consume food, control the proportion of total food intake, that is healthy. Hasn't the development of our food processing technology for thousands of years been aimed at facilitating the intake of nutrients? How in the end it is all unhealthy. Excessive interpretation of a certain aspect of food, and then the combination of finely processed food and unhealthy reciprocity, does not necessarily blow into a panacea is healthy food.
Juice is definitely not a drink that exists now, and by definition, as long as the melon fruit has not been fermented, the drink processed into juice is the juice. In China 3,000 years ago, there was juice in the true sense, and the "Li Ji Nei Ze" recorded the drink of "醷", which was called "plum pulp" in the annotations, which is also the earliest plum drink record in China.
From "Chu Ci • Summoning Souls": "Turtle cannon lamb, there is some garnet pulp" Here "garnet pulp" is sugarcane juice, a sweet and delicious drink, which was very popular in high society at that time. So much so that the Book of Han describes sugarcane juice as a must-drink for wedding banquets and sacrifices. It can be seen from here that the ancients also liked to drink juice, but the fruits of the ancients were not modernized as now, and the sugarcane juice was simply squeezed.
The type of fruit juice is increased with the increase of fruit, and by the Tang Dynasty juice has developed to the level of health, the juice of this period can be said to be a natural nutrition. In the Tang Dynasty's "Records of the Great Cause", the practice of sour plum pulp is recorded: "Take the Fufang leaf as the green drink, the yuzu root as the red drink, the buttermilk as the white drink, the wumei pulp as the Xuan drink, and the Jiang Gui as the yellow drink." "It was an appetizing and spleen drink that was prevalent at that time, and the juice of this era emphasized the complementarity between fruits to achieve nutritional balance and certain needs in daily life."
After the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, various juices emerged in an endless stream, so that the freshly made juice could not meet people's needs, and a large number of juice powders and juice pastes appeared. On the road of juice, the wisdom of the ancients has been played to the extreme, it can be said that the practice of the past is now impossible to do with the juice machine, and it is no wonder that experts say that there is no nutrition.
For example, Gao Lian recorded in detail in the "Zunsheng Eight Notes , Drinking and Eating Notes" that the practice of "orange soup" is very good: "One pound of orange, shelled and white film, finely cut with the skin, mashed with orange meat, sautéed with salt one or two, licorice one or two, ginger one or two, mashed juice and evenly." Oranges are the same. Dry and sealed. Take a little soup and serve it, it's wonderful. "This practice of taking the juice and drying it was once very popular, and it was also convenient to brew and drink with water.
Now the juice is only less than the ancients' ingredient collocation, mainly there is no collocation method, we know that the improper matching of the juice, may cause health damage, so simply a single drink is safe and simple, and does not delay and juice addiction, but also a delicious.
As for the high-speed operation of the juicer, the destruction of nutrition is also inevitable, personally think that according to the total amount of nutrient intake per day to allocate more reasonable, there is no need to chant a tight curse on a glass of juice, everyone said it!
