Today, let's learn the nutritional knowledge of "instant noodles" and whether instant noodles are really junk food? Is it really toxic?
When it comes to instant noodles, many people will scoff at it,
Think it's junk food;
But is that really the case?
instant noodle
Once upon a time, it was the only hope of a full stomach, and in the previous era of economic underdevelopment and material shortage, instant noodles were the best food for the stomach, and there was no one;
Cheap and convenient.
Modern instant noodles
It was created in 1958 by Momofuku Ando, a Japanese of Taiwanese descent.
Inspired by the fried dim sum,
Genius came up with this species of fried instant noodles, which has since become a hit and become a classic in the history of human food.
Even by 2021,
In flood control, earthquake relief, green-skinned trains, and extreme environments, instant noodles are still the first in food choices.
But as a dietitian who has been practicing for many years,
It is still recommended that you eat less instant noodles.
Instant noodles contain a lot of preservatives?
This is really wronged it, mainly instant noodles do not use preservatives;
Analyze from the pastry,
Pasta is generally divided into fried and non-fried.
After being fried at a high temperature of 130 ° C ~ 140 ° C, the fried dough cake is dehydrated and hardened, and the moisture content is extremely low, only about 3% to 4%.
Instead of fried dough cakes, other processes other than frying are used, such as hot air, microwave, vacuum, etc., to dehydrate and dry the instant noodles.
Without enough water, bacteria can't survive.
Analysis from vegetable packets
Just looking at it, you know that the vegetable packet is also dried and dehydrated, which will not breed bacteria and will not require preservatives.
Analyze from sauce packets
Sauce packages are generally high oil and high salt, and the high salt environment itself has a certain bacteriostatic effect. Preservatives added to some sauce packs are also within the scope of safety standards.
Is the inner layer of the instant noodle barrel toxic?
"This film in the bucket looks like wax, and boiling water in the bucket will produce toxic substances" it seems like this is the case, but in fact you don't understand.
Imagine
If manufacturers apply wax in barrels and melt into noodle soup, it is too easy to find.
At that time, the manufacturer is afraid that it will not be able to eat and walk around.
That waterproof and smooth film is a food grade polyethylene (PE) coating.
The melting point of polyethylene is about 110 ° C, even if it is just boiling water, the maximum temperature is only 100 ° C, it is impossible to melt it.
So, the problem of toxicity really don't worry!
Is instant noodles really not nutritious?
This depends on which ingredients to compare,
You can't always compare the nutrition of instant noodles with the nutrition of milk;
The same is made of flour, so it is most appropriate to compare it with the nutritional ingredients of our common noodles;
Judging from the results of the study:
Instant noodles, especially non-fried instant noodles and noodles, have some similar nutritional compositions, mainly provide carbohydrates, and contain a certain amount of protein and fat (there is really not much difference in nutrition).
The sodium content and fat content of fried instant noodles are generally higher.
In addition, the dietary fiber, vitamins, and other minerals of the three are less (be sure to accompany meat and vegetables when eating instant noodles).
Whether it is instant noodles or noodles, they are staple foods, and friends during weight loss should still control the amount.
Reasons not to recommend eating instant noodles
Instant noodles are convenient though,
But it really can't get into the eyes of the nutritionist;
The problem with instant noodles,
The first salt is too much,
The nutritional composition of the instant noodles and the spice pack,
The sodium content is usually 2000 to 3000 mg, and eating a barrel will make your salt intake exceed the standard for a day (6 grams);
The second oil is too much,
The fat content of fried instant noodles is mostly 16% to 20%,
According to each pack of instant noodles + noodles about 100 grams to calculate,
The fat content of a pack of instant noodles + spice packs is about 16 to 20 grams, and eating a pack is almost enough for a day (25 to 30 grams).
The third nutrient is unbalanced
Instant noodles are a staple food, but usually everyone is basically not side dishes.
Directly brew a bowl of simple noodles, so that the nutritional elements are relatively single and unbalanced.
Finally, I really can't help but want to eat instant noodles friends,
It is recommended to add some vegetables, eggs and meat when eating.
Follow me and give you more reliable weight loss and health knowledge.
