Autumn and winter is the season when winter jujube comes into the market. There are small sales of winter jujube everywhere in the street. But many people think that what's the matter with the bought winter jujube from sweet to bitter? Has winter jujube been soaked in saccharin?
Don't you think it's a problem that winter dates are too sweet.
Sweetness is not easy to confirm, some people like to eat sweetness, some people don't like to eat sweetness, and the feeling of sweetness is different. Also, jujube mixed with fish, different varieties, of course, sweetness is also different. In addition, the sugar content of winter jujube itself is high, and the sugar content of fresh jujube is 43%, which is relatively sweet, so some friends who don't like sweetness may say that they are difficult to adapt.
However, if the date is too sweet, it may be soaked with saccharin. This kind of saccharin is not good enough to eat. In particular, we should be careful when eating early winter jujube. Before the mature season, we should pay attention to the special sweet and red winter jujube.
The harm of eating Dongzao with polysaccharide
If it is a natural mature winter jujube, because its sugar content is high, so the taste is sweet, there is no harm to human body. However, in order to make the green jujube sell better, many businesses will use saccharin water to soak the jujube, so that the surface of the jujube will be reddish brown, very similar to the ripe jujube, and the surface of the jujube soaked in saccharin water will also be very sweet. If it's Dongzao with saccharin blister, too sweet means that the content of saccharin sodium is high. If you eat too much, it will affect the normal secretion of digestive enzymes in the human stomach, reduce the absorption capacity of the small intestine, and make people's appetite decrease.
In addition, the sweetness of saccharin is 200-700 times higher than that of white sugar. If we often eat foods with excessive saccharin content, it will damage the liver and nervous system. If we eat foods with excessive saccharin content, it will hurt children, pregnant women and other people even more. If we eat them in large quantities for a long time, it may even cause cancer.
How to distinguish Dongzao with saccharin 1. Taste
The winter jujube soaked in saccharin is usually only sweet on the skin, while the dried meat, firewood and sour jujube are often only sweet on the skin, with bitter taste. If the skin of the winter jujube is sweeter than the flesh, it is likely to be soaked in saccharin. The flesh of the common winter jujube must be sweeter than the peel.
2. Look at the color
After soaking in saccharin, the skin of winter jujube is even and orderly red, and the boundary between red and green is usually obvious. Fruit growers usually pick and market dates when they are blue. Normally mature dates can never be all red, but only bring red in the green. Only the sunny side is red, so if the whole body is red, and the taste is too sweet, there must be a problem.
3. Touch the epidermis
After soaking, the skin of saccharin jujube is loose and wrinkled, so it feels soft. Some of the peeled parts will be separated from the pulp. But the common winter jujube, feels is quite hard, moreover the epidermis feels is also quite smooth.
4. See the quality
Normal jujube can be kept in a cool and dry place for a few days, while saccharin jujube cells are destroyed during soaking, which is very perishable.
