However, more and more consumers have found that prefabricated dishes feel a bit salty? So, is it a personal taste or this prefabricated dish is more salty than home dishes? If it is really salty, what impact will it affect our body? Check the reporter's investigation.

Sodium content is generally high

Individual products per 100 grams of sodium content exceed 800 mg

On some e -commerce platforms, the reporter searched with "prefabricated dishes" as the keywords, and tens of thousands of products were jumped out. Basically, they were selling "free cleaning, free -cut vegetables, and free adjustment" as the selling point.

After further careful review of the nutritional composition table, the reporter found that most of the sodium content of most prefabricated products is more than 300 mg per 100 grams, and many of them can even reach more than 800 milligrams. For example The sodium content of 100 grams reaches 807 mg.

It seems that the taste of most prefabricated dishes is indeed relatively heavy. According to the latest version of the Chinese residents' dietary guidelines, the daily salt intake of adults is best to be less than 5 grams. So whether the sodium content in these prefabricated dishes exceeds the standard, and how does it affect our nutrition and health? The reporter interviewed nutrition experts for this purpose.

Chen Xiaotian, deputy director of the clinical nutrition department of Nanjing Gulou Hospital, said: "The sodium content in the salt is about 40%, and the intake of sodium should be controlled below 2000 mg per day. According to the amount of 200 grams of one pack, it contains more than 1,600 milligrams of sodium. In addition, if we eat other foods, basically the intake of sodium will exceed the standard. "

Satisfy the taste of Chinese people's consumption

Adapt to long -term storage needs

On the product evaluation page, some consumers also reflect: super salty, unhealthy; taste is relatively salty and other feelings. Nutrition experts told reporters that the general sodium content of prefabricated dishes is high. On the one hand, it is related to the dietary habits of heavy oil and salt of Chinese people, and on the other hand, it is also due to the characteristics of prefabricated dishes storage.

Chen Xiaotian explained: "Salt and sugar are natural preservatives. After more sodium, it is not easy to breed bacteria. Pre -packaged foods may also put some artificial preservatives, such as sodium benzene, sodium three phosphates, etc. In fact, it also contains some sodium, and the overall sodium is particularly easy to exceed the standard. "

"Diet Guidance" is recommended to eat less deep -processed meat products

Experts said that in daily diet, fruits, vegetables, and grains are sodium. If you eat prefabricated dishes with higher sodium -containing volume, sodium you take daily can be imagined.

In addition, "Chinese Resident Dietary Guidelines 2022" also suggested that eating less deep -processed meat products should be recommended to get sodium from vegetables.

"A healthy diet also requires freshness. Many prefabricated dishes are actually difficult to guarantee fresh. Generally, there are relatively few vegetarian vegetables in it, because vegetarian vegetables are more difficult to keep fresh." Chen Xiaotian reminded, "Healthy diet also requires that Put the meat and vegetables, if you eat occasionally, try to match some vegetables as much as possible. This kind of meal is more reasonable.
