In daily life, for friends who are Xi cooking at home, the vegetable market is a place we often go to. As for the view of the wet market, although I believe that most businesses can operate with integrity. However, it is not excluded that a small number of unscrupulous businesses often adopt some improper means to deceive consumers in order to pursue huge profits. In particular, counterfeiting is carried out on certain types of dishes. Next, I will dig deep into the varieties of dishes that are easy to fake.
1.The first thing to mention is the water-injected meat that we often hear about, and all the meat that has been injected with water will have different degrees of deterioration in meat quality and taste. Coupled with the poor environment and the equipment and tools used for water injection operations, there are great food safety hazards in the injected meat. Therefore, when you buy meat in the wet market, you must pay attention to the color and elasticity of the meat, and do not buy meat that is abnormally moist or abnormally colored.
2.The next thing to talk about is the fruit that we often eat in our daily life, I believe that there are many friends who usually choose fruits with bright colors when buying fruits, and they think that such fruits are the freshest. However, it is a sad fact that these fresh-looking and beautiful fruits are likely to be unscrupulous. It is "colored" with substances such as pigments or chemical additives, such as paraffin wax that we often see in the news. Paraffin wax will have a certain negative effect on the digestion of our system, which can lead to indigestion and gastritis. Therefore, when buying fruits, don't be misled by your own traditional experience and insist on buying fruits that are too colorful, but try to choose vegetables and fruits that are certified organic or additive-free.
3.Winter is coming, and all kinds of hot pot are naturally indispensable on our table. In hot pot, there are naturally a variety of ingredients such as hot pot meatballs. But we need to remind everyone that when you buy hot pot ingredients, you must not be too greedy for cheap, because these hot pot balls are not guaranteed to be made by combining pigments and various food additives.
4.Among the hot pot ingredients we have seen, duck blood is also a relatively common ingredient. And what is unguardable is that duck blood can also be faked!And for us who are ordinary, distinguishing real and fake duck blood is also a necessary skill to buy vegetables!In general, real duck blood is dark red in color, delicate in texture, and smooth in taste, while fake duck blood may be lighter in color, rough in texture, and not easy to break. Therefore, everyone must keep their eyes open when buying duck blood. When buying duck blood, it is best to buy it through a regular and certified channel.
The above are the various pitfalls that I often encounter when buying vegetables in the vegetable market. I believe that with the continuous enhancement of the country's supervision of the vegetable market, the food on our table will become more and more assured!
