In the summer in the south, high temperature and rain are particularly suitable for the growth of plants. Of course, we also include the foods we buy, such as ginger, garlic, potatoes, and peanuts. Within a few days at home, we started to sprout. Can food be eaten after it has sprouted? I believe many housewives will have this doubt in the face of this situation. Dietitians believe that different foods germinate. The result is different, some can eat, some can not eat, depending on the circumstances.
Potatoes - sprouted and eaten
Potatoes are the most prone to germinating vegetables. Seeing potatoes grow green or sprouting, many housewives threw them away.
Lin Shuzheng, a dietitian at the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that potato contains a natural "weapon" - solanine, which protects potatoes from mold and insects, but if people consume too much dragon Kumquat, there will be mouth tingling, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms of poisoning. This toxin is found in sprouted potatoes.
Experts suggest: First, peel the potatoes and reduce the intake of solanine. Secondly, eating potatoes with potato peels that have turned green or sprouted has a very high risk of ingesting solanine, so if the potato turns green or germinates in a small area, we must scrape it off. Leave a good part. When cooking, add vinegar to dissolve and destroy this toxin. It is recommended that you do not buy more at each purchase, and do not store at home. If you really need to store it, you should also put it in the fridge and in the shade.
Peanuts - buds are not moldy and edible
Many people believe that sprouted peanuts cannot be eaten because there is a lot of aflatoxin (a carcinogen). Lin Shuzheng believes that in fact, peanut germination is not impossible to eat, but because peanuts germinate and mold the environment conditions are the same, many sprouted peanuts will also appear moldy. The moldy aflatoxin content of peanuts will be very high, so many people see that germinated peanuts do not eat.
Expert advice: First, identify the sprouts of peanuts with or without mildew, stripping bloom, see if the skin of the peanuts turns yellow and brown, or whether there is a layer of black or tan-colored bacterial spore mycelium; followed by a light taste, entrance There is no bitter or mild odor. If you have mildew, you can't eat it.
Ginger and garlic - buds can be eaten correctly
In fact, most food buds are edible. For example, ginger, garlic, etc., it is still possible to eat buds. Only some of the nutrients inside have been supplied with "buds", so nutrition will certainly be discounted.
However, some foods have germinated and their nutritional content will increase. Studies have shown that in the process of germination of soybeans, vitamin C, amino acids and other contents are increasing. The germinated brown rice is more convenient to cook than the non-germinated brown rice, and has a more sweet taste, and is rich in anti-lipid oxidation substances, dietary fiber, glutathione, γ-aminobutyric acid and other functional factors. Therefore, it's a pity that you shouldn't throw it away because the food has sprouted.
Expert advice: ginger garlic, bean sprouts, brown rice, etc. can be eaten after germination, but there are some nutrients to be discounted, and some nutrients will increase. So, you can't see germination and throw it away.
