Hello everyone, I'm Wanru.
When we talk about potatoes, we may think of their rich nutritional value and variety of cooking methods.
However, did you know that the wrong way potatoes are handled and cooked can pose potential health risks?
This article will reveal the correct way to eat potatoes to avoid these hidden dangers.
Scientific studies have pointed out that potatoes, when stored and cooked in the wrong conditions, can indeed produce compounds that are harmful to humans, such as acrylamide. Acrylamide is mainly formed at high temperatures (generally more than 120) in carbohydrate-rich foodsEspecially in the process of frying, frying, and grilling.
Long-term high intake of acrylamide has been shown to increase the risk of cancer.
Avoid sprouting and turning green potatoes: When potatoes sprout or turn green, they produce solanine and solanine, which are harmful to the human body. Ensuring that the place where the potatoes are stored is ventilated, dry, and protected from light can extend the shelf life of the potatoes and reduce the formation of toxic substances.
Don't eat potato products that are too browned: Potato chips or fries that are fried too golden or even browned mean they may contain higher levels of acrylamide. Choose a slightly golden color that is not only healthier, but also tastes better.
Moderately reduce cooking temperature and time: High-temperature cooking is one of the main conditions for the production of acrylamide. Moderately reducing the temperature and time of cooking potatoes can effectively reduce the formation of this substance.
Cooking methods using boiled or steamed: Boiled or steamed potatoes are healthier ways to cook because they don't require high temperatures and are therefore not conducive to acrylamide formation.
Eat wisely: In addition to paying attention to the cooking method, it is also important to have a reasonable diet and mix. Eating more fiber-rich vegetables and fruits can help reduce the effects of harmful substances in food on your body.
Potatoes are an ingredient with high nutritional value and a variety of combinations.
With safe storage and proper cooking, we can fully enjoy its delicious taste while avoiding potential health risks. Remember, enjoy in moderation.
