Is eating steamed bread and pickles harmful to your health every day?

Although pickles are delicious, many people are discouraged from nitrite, a carcinogen. When we pickle pickles at home, as long as we master scientific methods, we can avoid producing too many nitrite carcinogens in the pickling process.

The curing time is less than 2 days or more than 20 days. Scientifically speaking, the nitrite content in pickles is not high within 2 days after curing, but it reaches the peak on the 3 rd to 8 th day, starts to decline after the 9 th day, and basically disappears after 20 days. Therefore, pickled pickles generally take less than 2 days, and long pickles need to be pickled for one month before they can be eaten.

Manual detoxification. After pickled into pickles, it can be boiled in water for 2 minutes or exposed to the sun for 30 minutes before eating, or washed with hot water, which can remove the residual nitrite in pickles to some extent.

Eat detoxified food frequently. Garlic, tea, vitamin C, etc. It has detoxification function, which can not only eliminate bacterial infection, but also prevent nitrite from being converted into nitrosamines, thus alleviating cancer risk. For example, allicin in garlic can inhibit nitrate reducing bacteria in the stomach and significantly reduce nitrite in the stomach; Tea polyphenols in tea can block the formation of nitrosamines; Fresh vegetables rich in vitamin C can prevent the formation of nitrosamines in the stomach, thus inhibiting the carcinogenic effect of nitrosamines.

The most important thing is to eat pickles fresh and healthy. Never buy inferior pickles in the market. They may be pickled with industrial salt or pickled in chemical barrels. This inferior product will definitely affect your health!
