There are more and more foods in supermarkets, but consumers who choose food are more and more confused. Facing the shelves full of goods, I am dazzled and don't know how to choose. Now let's look at the main points of bread selection. By contrast, what common mistakes have you made?
1, pay attention to buying bread.
Bread always looks attractive and sorting is troublesome. According to the purpose, it can be divided into "staple bread" and "snack bread"; According to the texture, it can be divided into soft bread, crisp bread, loose bread and hard bread. According to the raw materials, it can be divided into three categories: white bread, whole wheat bread and miscellaneous grain bread.
In terms of calories, crispy bread has the lowest calories because it is not sweet and contains less sugar, salt and oil. After baking, the skin is crisp and hard, and it is very delicious when it is hot. French staple bread and Russian "big bar" both belong to this category, and their nutritional value is similar to that of steamed bread. Materials such as eggs, sugar, milk and grease are added to both hard bread and soft bread, but the water added is different. Children's favorite "toast bread", "cream bread" and most kinds of snack bread belong to soft bread. Soft sweet bread contains about 15% sugar, about 10% oil and more toast. However, due to the addition of eggs and milk powder, the nutritional value has also increased, which is suitable for babies to eat. Try to avoid Danish bread.
The highest calorie in bread is loose bread, also called "Danish bread". It is characterized by adding 20% to 30% butter or "shortening", which can form a special layered structure and is often made into croissants, raisin flat buns, chocolate crisp buns and so on. It tastes crisp, fragrant and soft, and it is very delicious, but because of too much saturated fat and calories, it may contain "trans fatty acids" which are very unfavorable to cardiovascular health. Buy as little bread as possible, preferably no more than one bread a week.
2. How to distinguish whole wheat bread?
General bread is made of white flour, with soft and delicate texture, easy to digest and absorb, and extremely low dietary fiber content. Many people with rich nutrition knowledge know that whole wheat bread is more beneficial to health, because it is rich in fiber, which can help people clean up intestinal garbage, delay digestion and absorption, and help prevent obesity. Children over 2 years old can start trying to eat whole wheat bread and cultivate the good habit of eating "coarse" food.
Whole wheat bread refers to bread made of whole wheat flour without removing the bran and wheat germ outside. It is characterized by brown color, many small grains of wheat bran visible to the naked eye, rough texture, but fragrant. Because its nutritional value is higher than that of white bread, and it is rich in B vitamins, microorganisms especially like it, so it is more prone to mildew than ordinary bread.
Consumers should pay attention to that brown does not necessarily indicate that the product is whole wheat bread. In order to make consumers love to eat more, some enterprises will make bread with white flour, and then add a small amount of caramel pigment to dye it brown, which looks a bit "black", but it is still white bread in essence. You have to see enough pieces of wheat bran to identify it as whole wheat bread-but it really tastes a little rough.
In addition to whole wheat bread, there are miscellaneous grains bread containing various miscellaneous grains, such as oat bread, rye bread, soybean flour bread and so on. , can provide a lot of dietary fiber.
Pay attention to freshness when shopping.
Bread packaging will indicate the shelf life: "2 to 3 days in the second and third quarters (spring and summer) and 4 to 5 days in the first and fourth quarters (autumn and winter)". When shopping, you must choose the freshest bread possible. If you bought it when it is about to expire, you should eat it immediately. Don't let the bread at home expire and get moldy. If the mall is offering a discount, it is even more important to keep your eyes open to see if it is about to expire.
You know, many food companies often do some tricks to "advance the production date" in order to extend the sales time of their products. If you buy bread that is about to expire and can't finish it at home for a day or two, you can put yourself in a dilemma: throw it away, unfortunately; Eat slowly, it's not safe. If you put it in the refrigerator, the taste will get worse and worse.
