So many secrets are hidden on food packaging bags, I never knew before!

Nowadays, there are more and more types of food, often dazzling. When enjoying a delicious meal, many people will also wonder: Is this healthy? Today, Shunxingyuan Packaging, a professional flexible packaging manufacturer will share a small trick commonly used by nutritionists: Foods with the following 4 characters should be chosen cautiously 。

1. Foods with the character “味” (flavor)

Papaya-flavored mooncakes, milk-flavored biscuits, cherry-flavored cola...

Although it has the character “味” (flavor), this food may not contain this ingredient, but only the flavor is created using food flavorings!

Take mooncakes as an example. Many media have revealed that the filling of many fruit-flavored mooncakes on the market is made of winter melon.

This is because, compared to fruits, winter melon is not only easy to preserve and inexpensive, but also light in color and taste, making it easy to be processed and “disguised” into the required filling.

You can pay attention to the ingredient list of some fruit-flavored mooncakes. Winter melon is listed first, while the corresponding fruits cannot be found, replaced by various food flavorings, etc.

Of course, as long as food flavorings or colorings are used according to regulations, they are harmless to humans. The reason for saying “cautiously” is to remind everyone not to expect to truly obtain the nutrition of a certain fruit by eating such mooncakes. The same applies to other foods with the character “味” (flavor).

2. Foods with the character “脆” (crispy)

Fruit and vegetable crisps, crispy seaweed rolls, crispy rolls... These foods are often vacuum-fried. Although vacuum frying is superior to ordinary frying in terms of safety, the fat and calories also increase rapidly.

Freeze-dried or air-dried fruit has a fat content of only about 1%, but the fat content of fruit crisps can be as high as 10%-20%.

Eating too much fat will increase the risk of obesity. Friends with dyslipidemia or those who need to lose weight should not eat too much.

In addition, the sodium content of such snacks should not be ignored. The salt in the three meals a day is basically enough for the human body. If you eat more snacks, the sodium intake easily exceeds the recommended amount. A high-sodium diet will increase the risk of hypertension, stomach cancer, etc.

3. Foods with the character “酥” (crispy/crumbly)

Pineapple cakes, walnut cakes, peanut cakes... For these foods with the character “酥” (crispy/crumbly), the various fruits and nuts they contain sound healthy, but in fact, like foods with the character “脆” (crispy), they are often high in sugar, oil, and calories.

Eating too much is not conducive to the control of blood sugar, blood lipids, and weight, and may also increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Randomly select a pineapple cake product on the market and look at its ingredient list.

Calculated at 25 grams per piece, eating two small pieces is equivalent to eating 31.5 grams of carbohydrates (equivalent to a large banana), 9 grams of fat (approximately equal to the fat content of half a tael of pork belly), and nearly 218 kilocalories (the calories of a bowl of rice).

4. Foods with the character “柳” (willow/strip)

Crab sticks, pork strips, beef strips... These foods may not be made of real ingredients.

There has also been news exposing unscrupulous businesses using domestic duck meat to impersonate beef. If you find very cheap beef, you should be vigilant!

These are the little tricks from nutritionists.

It's not that foods with these 4 characters should never be eaten, but these foods should be eaten in moderation. When choosing food, pay attention to balancing deliciousness and health!
