The disadvantage of prefabricated dishes is not just salty!Doctors recommend buying prefabricated dishes with less sodium content, with fruit and vegetable supplement vitamins

Prefabricated dishes sold by a offline store in Nanjing

A plate of salted egg yolk cannon crab is released in 3 minutes, and a cumin sheep chop is fried in 5 minutes ... The "hard dishes" that may be made from spending a lot of effort can be done in minutes, winning the favor of many consumers. However, many consumers have recently reported that the prefabricated dishes are salty, and the sodium content in prefabricated dishes is generally too high#also attracted the attention of many netizens. The reporter visited and found that some of the prefabricated vegetable components showed that the sodium content of 100g per 100g was even as high as 1110 mg, which did far exceed the standard of Chinese residents' dietary guidelines.

Reporter visit

"There are more meat and less vegetables",

The sodium content of prefabricated dishes is generally too high

"If I buy ingredients for my own ingredients after get off work, it is estimated that I can eat dinner at 8 o'clock in the evening. It is convenient. "Miss Jiang, 27, came to work in Nanjing two years ago. She has been living alone every week to buy one or two boxes of prefabricated dishes to improve food. She told reporters that these prefabricated dishes felt: the taste was enough.

On the afternoon of the 29th, the reporter came to a Hema Xiansheng in Jianye District. The pepper pork belly chicken soup, the garlic flavor grilled fish, the crab meat soup stewed pepper ... The reporter randomly took a box of palaces. In addition to a large string of sauces and additives in the ingredient table, the sodium content of the sodium in the nutritional component table was 939mg per 100g. The "Chinese Resident Dietary Guide 2022" suggested that adults take no more than 5 grams of salt per day. Based on the 40%sodium content in general salt, the total amount of sodium intake per day of adults should not exceed 2000 mg.

The reporter's investigation found that most of the prefabricated dishes sold in supermarkets are not less than 400 mg per 100 grams of sodium, and they are in a state of "more meat and less vegetables". Editically vegetables, especially leafy or melon vegetables, are very small. However, the reporter then searched for "prefabricated vegetables and vegetables" on the e -commerce platform and found a few combined pre -frozen vegetables. From the nutritional component table provided by the merchant, its sodium content is much lower, and the rape heart is 36mg/100g. The spinach segment is 131mg/100g.

Doctor's suggestion

Selective purchase of prefabricated dishes with less sodium content, with fruit and vegetable supplement vitamins

It is reported that among Chinese fish, meat and other pre -packaged foods, the intake of sodium (salt) has a rapid growth trend, which has greatly reduced the effects of salt -reducing healthy diet. "In addition to the high sodium content, the problem of high energy and fat amount of rampant dishes generally exceeds the amount recommended in the dietary guidelines of the residents." The nutrition of large capacity protein, fat, and carbohydrates can still be basically retained in prefabricated dishes. However, it is worth noting that due to the lack of vegetables, if you only eat prefabricated dishes with heavy oil and salt, the human body needs minerals and vitamins, especially the nutrition of water -soluble vitamins, which are not met.

It is undeniable that the prefabricated dishes have greatly saved the time and energy of a lot of migrant workers in cooking. The relatively closed -loop production assembly line also reduces everyone's concerns about food hygiene to a certain extent. Salt and high -calorie ingredients are indeed not recommended to eat more. So, is there a relatively healthy consumption plan for consumers who like prefabricated dishes? Dai Chun told reporters that when buying, try to choose prefabricated dishes with less sodium content. You can feel more salty dishes for taste, you can use water to reduce surface sauce. "If you eat prefabricated vegetables frequently, you should also pay attention to the balanced food. You can match some fresh vegetables or fruits, or you can add some dietary supplements, such as composite vitamins and minerals."

From the perspective of packaging logos, prefabricated dishes are generally preserved for a long time, and most of them can be frozen for 12 months. "Can the dishes that are kept after a long time still have nutrition?" It is also the question of many consumers. Industry insiders pointed out that after the second heating, it may cause the loss of thermal nutrients such as vitamin C, but it will not have a great impact on the original nutrition of prefabricated dishes. For the nutritional loss of dishes, processing and transportation, the reporter noticed that most products also claim that the use of "-196 ° C super fast freezing", "freezing fresh-keeping technology treatment", etc., can ensure the taste and nutrition of the prefabricated dishes. However, prefabricated dishes can cope with "temporary needs", but it is best not to be "long -term" for solving daily dietary needs.
