Is Nori a suitable snack for children?
Recently, many parents began to pay attention to health and nutrition when they selected snacks for their children. They began to select fewer ingredients on the ingredients list and tried to avoid pigments and flavors. Therefore, many parents began to shift their gaze to the top of seaweed, but at the same time, the doubts came. In the seaweed, there is no such thing as monosodium glutamate, chicken essence, and flavor.
First of all, from the list of ingredients, besides condiments, mushroom juice or mushroom extract is usually added. This material is extracted from the ingredients of the mushroom, and we also taste the mushroom when we eat it. Flavor, this umami comes from the free nucleotides in the mushroom namely guanylic acid, inosinic acid and other natural substances;
Secondly, the seaweed is made from seaweed. The seaweed is baked in a way that makes the seaweed crispy and delicious. The seaweed itself also brings a delicious taste to the soup when it is added to the soup. This umami taste comes from the free nucleus. In addition to glucoside, it also comes from its protein. Many foods contain glutamic acid which is one of the decomposing substances of the umami-rich protein. Therefore, no MSG is added during cooking, such as scrambled eggs. Therefore, this fresh material is also natural and harmless.
Through the existence of two qualities, we can easily see that the savory taste of seaweed is actually from the food itself, so parents who worry about this umami can rest assured! But can the savory sensation mean that such foods are healthy snacks suitable for children and they can eat more without fear?
The seaweed is indeed better in terms of nutrition, because youngsters easily lack the content of iodine, iron, zinc are quite good, but we can intuitively see the salt, soy sauce, these additional spices from the ingredients list, and these ingredients The taste of seaweed is very salty, and children eat more of such food will make children develop poor eating habits; children's eating habits are cultivated from a young age, if you start to eat foods with a heavier taste, will accompany children Throughout my life, we all know that excessive salt intake can cause high blood pressure and related diseases.
Therefore, it is recommended that parents choose low-sodium, no-salt or choose to make porphyra and seaweed soup to ingest nutrients and reduce salt intake when choosing such snacks.
