"Vinegar" can be a health drink, a seasoning for cooking, and can also adjust the pH value. There are many good "vinegar"! In the shadow of food safety, jealousy has become a trend to protect health, but don't forget, "nature is still good!" " Vinegar brewed from natural ingredients has a mellow taste and is healthy to eat.
According to the brewing process and raw materials, sour vinegar can be roughly divided into natural vinegar and synthetic vinegar. Liu Xiangqi, a lecturer in the Department of Food Science of China University of Science and Technology, pointed out that the raw materials of natural vinegar include beans, cereals and fruits. , put it in a clay pot or wooden container. After adding strains to make vinegar, after half a year, one year or even several years of fermentation, the raw materials slowly decompose and ferment, and the pH value decreases. Finally, natural vinegar with beautiful glycol can be brewed. In order to save strains or a long fermentation process, synthetic vinegar can be brewed in a day or so by diluting with "acetic acid" and adding seasonings such as fruit juice and grain.
Jealousy and vinegar can stimulate appetite and help digestion.
Natural brewed vinegar brewed with natural ingredients is the healthiest! Liu Xiangqi emphasized that naturally brewed vinegar contains natural acetic acid, organic acids, amino acids, even vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals and antioxidants, and is rich in nutrition. Therefore, avoiding drinking vinegar can not only stimulate appetite, help digestion, but also help the absorption of food nutrients. Vinegar has many functions.
Brewing natural vinegar is very labor-intensive, but black-hearted foods emerge one after another, and the vinegar made by oneself is always the most reassuring. Huang Shuhui, a nutritionist at Beihou Hospital, summed up the key of self-made natural fruit vinegar. First, organic fruits such as lemons, apples and grapes are washed and drained. Put into a clean glass jar or pottery jar, sprinkle with sugar, and seal; When the water slowly comes out for fermentation, it turns into wine first, and then turns into vinegar after standing for a long time. At least half a year to a year, you can drink pure fruit fermented lemon vinegar and apple vinegar.
Learn to make natural brewed vinegar.
Huang Shuhui believes that vinegar fermented by fruit itself has strong enzyme activity and is rich in sugar, calcium ions, potassium ions and minerals. The longer the brewing time, the more mellow it is. Attention should be paid to food hygiene, fruit killing, bottle mouth disinfection and other procedures during brewing.
In addition, you can also make fruit vinegar by DIY at home. The steps are as follows:
1. Take seasonal organic fruits, such as lemons, apples, plums, grapes, pineapples, kiwis, oranges, etc. Brush the skin first (the skin can be cut off or kept) and dry the water (or use white cotton cloth or kitchen paper towel to absorb the water) to avoid the spoilage of the ingredients.
2. Slice the fruit, put a layer of fruit and a layer of crystal sugar in the container, and finally pour in glutinous rice vinegar at the ratio of 1: 1 (for example, fruit 1 kg, sugar1kg, vinegar1kg). It is suggested to reduce sugar.
3. The brewing period of vinegar is more than half a year. After opening, the used spoon should be disinfected or dried before use. Do not put oily water into the tank and then scoop it out, or pack it into small bottles from large bottles to avoid pollution. 37 ~ 50℃ is the suitable activity temperature of the enzyme. Fermented vinegar should be placed in a dark and dry room temperature environment.
Method 3 for selecting vinegar
There are many kinds of vinegar on the market, which are dazzling and confusing. Huang Shuhui and Liu Xiangqi suggested the following methods to choose vinegar:
● Shake the bottle and keep shaking. If bubbles appear and last for a long time, it is a sign of genuine fruit vinegar. If the organic fruit vinegar is genuine, it will continue to ferment because the enzyme is alive. There will be a sound of gas escaping when opening a bottle. On the contrary, shaking the bottle of synthetic vinegar produces little foam and will soon disappear.
● Authentic aged fruit vinegar is rich and warm, but synthetic vinegar made of acetic acid will give off a pungent sour taste, which can be known by smelling it.
Look carefully at the label of the vinegar bottle. For example, the label of "fruit vinegar" is genuine fruit vinegar, but if it is labeled as "fruit vinegar", it is synthetic vinegar. The difference between the two labels is that there is one more word "water" and one less symbol. The materials and ingredients are completely different, and consumers are easily confused.
