Cook the corn thoroughly and then juice it.
Today, with more and more attention paid to healthy diet, sweet corn juice is especially popular. It not only has the nutrition of coarse grains, but also has a smooth taste, delicious and healthy. The corn juice sold outside is not cheap either. In fact, it is very simple to make corn juice at home as long as you learn the tricks.
Generally, fruit juice or vegetable juice is squeezed directly from the original juice, but corn is different and has to be "boiled". It is very important to peel off the washed corn kernels and boil them with water.
1. First of all, the juice directly squeezed from raw corn tastes green, and even if it is squeezed and cooked, the taste will not come off.
Secondly, the corn kernels must be cooked thoroughly. If the cooking time is not enough, the squeezed corn juice will be separated from the residue and water, and it will not taste thick and smooth. After the cooked corn is cooled, it can be squeezed. Water should be measured, neither too much nor too little. Generally, three spoonfuls of corn kernels are mixed with four spoonfuls of water.
3. Finally, it should be reminded that sweet corn must be used for squeezing corn juice, otherwise the taste is not fresh and natural enough.
Drinking corn juice is better than eating corn directly, because corn particles are more easily absorbed by the stomach after being broken. In the process of absorption, it is easier to transform into other substances, or combine with other substances to form smaller molecules, thus destroying carcinogenic cells or molecules in the body. This is very critical. When drinking corn juice, remember that it's best to be original and don't add any additives.
The benefits of eating more corn
Chinese medicine believes that corn has the functions of invigorating spleen and promoting diuresis, regulating stomach and diuresis, which is very suitable for people with spleen deficiency. Modern nutrition also believes that corn contains a lot of nutrients. The cellulose content in fresh corn is 6-8 times higher than that in polished rice and refined flour, which can reduce the concentration of cholesterol in blood and thus play a role in preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Corn contains a special anti-cancer factor-glutathione, which can combine with many carcinogens in human body and make it lose carcinogenicity; Carotene contained in corn can be converted into vitamin A with physiological activity in vivo after digestion and absorption, and vitamin A can prevent and delay precancerous lesions.
Vitamin E contained in corn is an important anti-aging and beauty substance. The cellulose rich in corn is a kind of carbohydrate that the human body can't absorb, which can reduce the concentration of carcinogens in the human intestine and reduce the accumulation of intestinal endotoxin, so corn can reduce the incidence of colon cancer and rectal cancer.
A study in the United States also shows that lutein and zeaxanthin in corn are excellent supplementary foods to resist eye aging. Eat more and keep your eyes open. Corn has two colors: white and yellow.
Only topaz rice has lutein and zeaxanthin, but white corn does not. So people who often use their eyes should eat more yellow corn!
Corn can be squeezed into corn juice alone, and it is also nutritious and delicious to squeeze with others. You can add a handful of soybeans and peanuts to juice together, and drink a cup of corn, soybean and peanut juice for breakfast to supplement nutrition and promote detoxification.
