Notes on making cold dishes

As the weather gets warmer, many people choose to eat fresh and crisp vegetables raw. Tang Xiaowei, an associate researcher at the National Vegetable Systems Engineering Center, recently told reporters that nutrients contained in vegetables, such as vitamin C and B group, are easily destroyed by processing and cooking, and eating them raw is conducive to the preservation of nutrients. However, not every vegetable is suitable for eating raw. Some vegetables are best blanched in boiling water before eating; some vegetables must be cooked thoroughly before eating.

Vegetables that can be eaten raw after washing include carrots, white radishes, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, cabbage hearts, etc. Tang Xiaowei said that it is best to choose pollution-free green vegetables or organic vegetables when eating raw. Vegetables produced under soilless cultivation conditions can also be eaten raw with confidence. Ways to eat them raw include drinking homemade fresh vegetable juice, or mixing fresh vegetables into a cold dish, adding a little vinegar and a little salt.

Vegetables that need to be blanched before eating can be divided into the following categories: one is cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, etc. These nutrient-rich vegetables taste better after blanching, and the rich fiber in them is also easier to digest. The second category is vegetables that contain more oxalic acid, such as spinach, bamboo shoots, and wild rice stems. Oxalic acid will combine with calcium in the intestines to form difficult-to-absorb calcium oxalate, which interferes with the body's absorption of calcium. Therefore, be sure to blanch it in boiling water before mixing it with cold food to remove most of the oxalic acid. The third category is mustard vegetables, such as kohlrabi, which contain a substance called glucosinolate, which can produce volatile mustard oil after hydrolysis, which has the effect of promoting digestion and absorption. The fourth category is wild vegetables such as purslane. Blanching them can completely remove dust and insects, and prevent allergies. In addition, it is best to peel and wash lettuce, water chestnuts, etc. before eating them raw, and blanch them in boiling water before eating. This is more hygienic and will not affect the taste and nutritional content.
