The vegetable market is an indispensable place in our daily life, and many people like to buy vegetables in the vegetable market, because they feel that the vegetables in the vegetable market are varied, affordable, and you can see the freshness of the dishes with your own eyes.
However, have you ever thought that some of the vegetables in the vegetable market are not as fresh as you see, and some are even rotten, but the vegetable vendors have used some means to cover up the truth, making you mistakenly think that you have bought good dishes?
Recently, some netizens broke the news that a "new routine" has appeared in the vegetable market, which is to use a special light to make vegetables and meat look more bright and shiny, attracting the attention of customers, but in fact, the quality of these foods is very poor, and some have even deteriorated.
This type of light is called a "fresh light" and it works by using a special wavelength that enhances the color of food and makes it look more appealing. For example, a red light can make meat look more red, and a green light can make vegetables look greener.
However, this lighting does not change the essence of the food, it only gives an illusion visually. If you look closely, you will notice that there is something unusual about the appearance and smell of these foods, for example, there will be blood oozing from meat, and there will be traces of soft rotten vegetables.
Moreover, this kind of light will also cause certain damage to food, such as accelerating the oxidation of food, reducing the nutritional value of food, and even producing harmful substances, which is not good for human health.
It is understood that this kind of "fresh lamp" has been very common in some vegetable markets, many vegetable sellers will use it to increase their sales, while many consumers do not know the secret, they are deceived and do not know it, and the food they buy back is neither fresh nor healthy.
So, how do we avoid this?Experts give the following recommendations:
Don't just look at the color of the food, use other senses to judge the freshness of the food, for example, smell it, touch it, see if there is any peculiar smell, whether it is soft and rotten, whether there is insect moth, etc.
Don't be greedy for cheap, choose a qualified stall, see if they have a business license, whether they have a health permit, whether they have an inspection report, etc., these are all important bases to ensure the quality of food.
Don't believe the braggings of the vegetable sellers, have your own judgment, don't be fooled by their rhetoric, insist on choosing the food you want, and don't let them take it away for you.
Don't buy some uncommon foods in the vegetable market, such as some wild animals and plants, or some foods that claim to have special effects, these foods are likely to be fake, or poisonous, or illegal, and harmful to your body and the law.
In short, when buying vegetables in the vegetable market, you must have more eyes, do not be blinded by the "fresh lamp", and use your own wisdom and experience to choose real fresh food, so as to eat at ease and eat healthily.
