Category representatives: pistachios, walnuts, almonds and peanuts.
Expert comment: Nuts are rich in unsaturated fatty acids and dietary fiber, which can promote brain development and gastrointestinal peristalsis, and are the first choice for children and adolescents. In addition, eating nuts also has a strong satiety and can stabilize blood sugar. However, salted almonds, amber walnuts, spicy peanuts and other products often have high salt content, so it is recommended to eat nuts with natural taste as children's meals. Moreover, a handful of nuts is enough every day. Don't eat too much. The choice of kinds should be diversified, and it is more balanced to eat different kinds of nuts alternately.
2. Milk and its products
Category representatives: pure milk, yogurt, dairy products, etc.
Expert comments: Every 100g of milk contains 3. 1g of fat, 2.9g of protein, 4.5g of lactose and 0.7g of minerals. These nutrients occupy an important position in our lives. Yogurt is fermented from pure milk, which not only retains all the nutrients of fresh milk, but also produces many vitamins necessary for human nutrition, such as vitamins B 1, B2, B6, B 12, etc. It is very suitable as a nutritional supplement between meals.
3. Dried fruit
Category representatives: dehydrated apple slices, dehydrated pineapple slices, etc.
Expert comment: There are many kinds of dried fruits, such as banana slices, fried dried fruits and dehydrated dried fruits. Here, dehydrated dried fruits get high marks. These products are directly dehydrated without frying. Although some vitamin C is lost during processing, more dietary fiber is retained, which is also very important for health. Therefore, parents are advised to pay attention to the ingredient list when purchasing. If it contains palm oil, it belongs to fried dried fruit.
4. Meat and dried fish
Category representatives: beef jerky, pork breast, pork floss, fish fillets, etc.
Expert's comment: Dried meat and dried fish often have a high content of protein, and there is a saying in the nutrition circle that "good meat floss is no less than bird's nest". For its high cholesterol, ordinary children don't need to worry too much, so from a nutritional point of view, it is a good snack. For this kind of products, pay attention to the salt content. Some dried meat and dried fish are generally salty and should be restricted.
5. Beans and bean products
Category representatives: green beans with garlic, dried bean curd, crisp corn, dried green beans, etc.
Expert's comment: Beans and bean products such as green beans and tofu are healthy foods, which are rich in protein, but why do they get lower marks? This score is for processed foods, such as garlic green beans and dried tofu, which are common in the market. Garlic green beans and corn chips are generally fried, with high oil content and high salt content. If you carefully observe some green beans, you will find that almost every green bean is stained with a grain of salt, which shows its high salt content! In addition, the flavor of dried tofu also has such problems.
