Every year near the end of the year, you can always see different scenery on the balcony and windowsill of every household. Bacon, sausage, dried fish ... Preparing bacon and pickled products before the Spring Festival is a custom handed down by ancestors and a "signal" for the Spring Festival.
But this "delicious old tradition" hides the risk of cancer.
First of all, wax products and cancer
Preserved products such as bacon are preserved foods. If you often eat high-salt foods such as preserved products, the risk of stomach cancer will increase by 4-5 times. This is because the content of nitrite in pickled products is high. After it enters the human body, nitrosamines will be generated under the action of gastric acid, which is a strong carcinogen.
At the same time, salt can also cause direct damage to gastric mucosa. When carcinogens come into contact with the damaged gastric mucosa, the chances of canceration will increase.
Second, do these three steps well and eat healthily.
That bacon can't be eaten? No, as long as you do it right and eat it right, you can still enjoy pickled food beautifully. Pay attention to the following three special steps, which are very helpful to reduce nitrite.
1, curing
When curing bacon, the best ratio of salt to meat is: meat: salt = 1 (kg): 15 (g), that is, 150 g (3 liang) of salt is put into 10 kg of meat, and less salt will directly reduce the nitrite content.
2, boiled
Before eating bacon, soak the bacon in warm water until it is soft, and then cook it in water. In this way, the nitrite in the bacon can be dissolved in water, and the cooked bacon can be fried with vegetables or steamed in a pot.
Eat something
Bacon is also eaten a little more during the Chinese New Year, and it is basically not eaten. Therefore, the frequency is controlled at 1~2 times per month, and each time does not exceed100g; When eating pickled products, you can match some fresh vegetables, such as yam and cabbage, to reduce the irritation to the stomach.
Ingredients: a piece of bacon, garlic moss, 2 cloves of garlic, a little ginger, a spoonful of bean paste, and other seasonings.
1, sliced bacon and chopped garlic;
2, the pot is hot, pour the bacon slices and fry the oil;
3. Add garlic and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant;
4. Add a spoonful of bean paste and stir well until bacon is colored;
5. Pour garlic moss into the pot and stir fry for 5-6 minutes. After the garlic moss changes color, simmer for a while and take it out of the pot.
Miss Jie reminds you that when drinking, you must never eat preserved meat and other preserved products. When wine and bacon are combined, there will be some health risks.
Because the food cured by smoked wax contains more nitrite, and nitrite is more soluble in alcohol, which is more harmful to various organs of the body, especially carcinogenic! In addition, for patients with gastrointestinal diseases, hypertension, diabetes and tumor diseases, it is best not to eat pickled products.
In the cold winter, every household is busy preparing bacon and processing fresh raw materials into delicious food with rich aroma to welcome the coming New Year. Eat less bacon this year. After all, meat is expensive and eating too much is unhealthy!
