The little "greasy" wrapped in meatballs
2021-12-31
The recent temperature is really cold. If you want to say what food matches this season best, it's hot pot. In everyone's "hot pot list", in addition to all kinds of meat and vegetables, meatballs are also regular customers in hot pot. All kinds of fresh and tender q-ball meatballs are often the focus of hot pot. Many people think that if they are missing, hot pot is a soulless hot pot. However, pee beef balls, fish balls, shrimp balls... It is this kind of food that many people like that is also the most "black". There are even rumors that "one meat ball = five contraceptives", which makes people want to eat but dare not eat. What are meatballs made of? Is the beef ball full of beef? The meat in the meatball turned out to be "yidui" Many people think beef balls must be beef. However, this is not the case. There are clear marks in the ingredient list of beef balls, which will contain a certain amount of pork, chicken and duck, and some will add ingredients such as fish and meat powder. Beef does not necessarily contain the most in beef balls. So, since it is called meatball, how much meat does it contain? On this issue, the industry standard sb / T 10379-2012 quick frozen prepared food clearly stipulates that for minced meat products containing chicken, pork, fish and shrimp, the content of pork, chicken, fish and shrimp should be ≥ 10%; For minced meat products containing crab meat, beef and mutton, the content of crab meat, beef and mutton shall be ≥ 8%. The industry standard meatballs (sb / T 10610-2011) stipulates that the content of livestock meat in livestock meatballs should rank first, and the content of aquatic meat in aquatic meatballs should rank first; This standard also classifies the meat content in meatballs. The meat content of ordinary grade is ≥ 45%, that of excellent grade is ≥ 55%, and that of special grade is ≥ 65%. The industry standard frozen surimi products (SC / T 3701-2003) clearly stipulates that the starch content in the product is ≤ 15% (except that the starch content of simulated crab meat is ≤ 10%), in which the addition amount of surimi is not specified. For high-quality fish balls and shrimp balls, the content of fish (shrimp) is generally indicated in the label. Therefore, meat balls, fish balls and shrimp balls are not all meat, and may contain starch and some food additives allowed to be added. Note that the food additives mentioned here are not "illegal additives". As long as food additives are added and used in accordance with the provisions of the national standard, there is no over range and over limit addition, and its safety can be assured. A "meatball" has more than ten additives According to the survey, all kinds of hot pot balls such as pee beef balls, fish balls, crab meat sticks and shrimp dumplings are sold in a prominent position. Merchants generally say that these hot pot balls are very popular. Many hot pot stores come to order at a price of more than ten yuan a kilogram, and the most convenient is even less than ten yuan. Let's calculate an account. The price of beef balls sold by this vendor is 9 yuan a kilogram, but the price of fresh beef is more than 30 yuan. If you really want to make such a pill, the cost will be at least 40 yuan a catty. Whether pork, beef, mutton or all kinds of seafood hot pot balls, their prices are the same. Moreover, most of these hot pot balls sold in the market have no outer packaging, let alone the name, address and production date of the factory. In order to improve the taste of the product, various additives will be added in the production process of frozen pills to increase the elasticity and taste of the pills. In the supermarket, I saw a Haixin imitation crab meat stick. There are 25 ingredients on the ingredient list. In addition to surimi, water, frozen protein and starch, its additives include acetate starch, sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium hexametaphosphate, chili red and so on. The compound thickener includes carrageenan, gellan gum, sodium carbonate and so on. The nutritional value of various additives is not high, and the harm of various sodium containing additives to patients with hypertension, heart disease and kidney disease is self-evident. Therefore, various frozen pills should not be eaten more. Eating such meatballs often has a high health risk It is easy for people to suffer from anorexia. If people like eating pills for a long time, the probability of suffering from anorexia will be very high. Once people are anorexic, it is naturally very unfavorable to their own health. It is easy for people to have symptoms of malnutrition. The facial skin looks very haggard, and their own dirty organ health will also be greatly affected. Prone to obesity, compared with home-made meatballs, most meatballs sold on the market are soft, tender and delicate, and the meat is fragrant, which is inseparable from the fat content. The ingredients list of general meatballs will indicate that there are bovine fat, lard fat, chicken skin, shortening and other substances, and their position is relatively front (with a large content). High fat content makes the balls delicious. Eating more will undoubtedly increase the risk of obesity, dyslipidemia and other problems. Hypertension among the three high blood pressure prone groups has always been the same headache for people, because the disease is a chronic disease, which is not only difficult to cure, but also has a long treatment cycle. In addition to containing more additives, the content of sodium in meatball foods on the market is also high. The sodium content is generally more than 500mg / 100g. If you often eat such meatballs, the risk of exceeding the standard of "sodium" will increase. From the perspective of health, there are many potential threats to the body (increased blood pressure, increased risk of calcium deficiency, etc.). It is prone to sub-health, because this food itself does not have more nutrients and also contains more additives. After eating, people not only can't get enough nutrients, but eating too many additives is not good for health. To prevent sub-health, we should eat more natural and nutritious food. How to identify these "meatballs"? Let's do an experiment. Slice the hot pot balls we bought and pour in iodophor solution. For about a minute or two, these balls have changed into another look. Experts said that fish balls and shrimp balls have changed significantly after experiments, turning purple and dark gray, indicating that most of them are made of starch. Anyway, for the health of family and children, we must choose these balls before eating. So how to choose meatballs? Choose prepackaged meatballs Relatively speaking, the meatballs produced by big brand businesses have more perfect inspection and quarantine mechanism, and the label information is more reliable. There are at least a few production dates, shelf life, ingredients, nutritional components and executive standards, and the supervision is relatively guaranteed. It is not recommended to buy zero bulk meatballs or "miscellaneous" food sold by small businesses. Pay attention to the content of meat Carefully read the food labels. If you want to buy high-quality products, pay attention to whether the specific amount of meat and fish are marked, and choose products with higher proportion of meat, fish and shrimp; If you don't pursue meat content, just be relatively healthy. For details, please refer to the ingredients table and nutritional composition table. Pay attention to the composition of "meat" In addition to the content of meat, "meat composition" is also important. Take young people's favorite pee beef balls for example. Some pee beef balls are not necessarily made of beef. The top ingredients in the ingredient list are mostly chicken, pork and other ingredients, which can be selected according to demand. Focus on calories and sodium When purchasing meatballs, we should pay attention to the energy (calories) and sodium content in the nutritional composition table. From the perspective of health, meatballs with low calories and low sodium content are healthier and can be preferred. After knowing how to choose meatballs, I would also like to remind you that the following three meatballs are best not to buy—— Do not buy cheap meatballs sold on the street, do not know their production information, and the risk is high; Do not buy meatballs sold naked. The industry standard meatballs implemented in 2011 clearly stipulates that in the sales link, meatballs should be equipped with refrigerators or freezers, and should not be sold naked. Meatballs sold naked have a higher risk of deterioration; It is better not to buy "hand-made meatballs" sold by friends and individuals, because there is no inspection and quarantine mechanism, and the safety risk is high. In a word, no matter what kind of meatballs are made of, it is OK to taste them occasionally, but be careful not to eat them too much; Pay attention to the quality of Meatballs when buying, and choose higher quality meatballs for health appreciation.
