A few days ago, we made a list of fruits and vegetables that are most suitable for children in winter, which mentioned a kind of fruit-strawberry.
Many mothers were worried when they saw it: strawberries? How can strawberries be eaten by Eva?
Even some readers directly started scolding, saying that we were playing *
It seems that people have a deep prejudice against strawberries.
In fact, there is only one reason not to give children strawberries, and that is……
It’s too expensive
As soon as the children ate strawberries, they couldn’t stop one by one. The old mother looked at the heartache, flesh pain and wallet pain.
As for other pots, strawberries are not to be carried. In order to correct the name of strawberries, clove mother will stand up and say a few words of justice today.
Strawberry is very wronged and always bears the blame.
Perhaps it is because the taste and appearance of strawberries are superior among all fruits, so that there are many rumors about strawberries [poisonous] in the Jianghu.
1. Strawberry out of season? The nutrition is similar.
What the mothers’ comment area mentioned most was the problem of off-season.
In fact, the appearance of off-season fruits benefits from the improvement of greenhouse breeding technology and the improvement of transportation system.
Its appearance enables people to eat strawberries in summer in winter, which vividly shows [technology changes life].
Of course, my mother is still worried about the safety of off-season fruits.
What was supposed to grow in summer, now let it grow in winter. Mothers will surely think: [It is against the laws of nature, is it definitely not safe? ]
Fruit growth depends not on seasons, but on the corresponding temperature, humidity and light.
In terms of nutrition, the content of vitamin C, sugar, calcium, magnesium, potassium and other mineral elements in strawberries in winter is not much different or even negligible from strawberries in summer fields.
2. Strawberry hormone? It only works on plants.
Seeing this, some mothers may ask, is there definitely a problem with the off-season fruit spraying hormone to promote growth?
Strawberries planted in greenhouses do spray some plant growth regulators (also called plant hormones) to promote fruit drop and ripening, but this is not what the public thinks [hormones].
For example, the swelling agent used to promote strawberry fruit drop can make strawberry fruit fuller.
In fact, the amount of plant growth regulator used is very small, and it only works on plants and has no effect on human body.
Those who say eating strawberries will lead to precocious puberty of babies may regard themselves as a plant…….
3. Strawberry has pesticide residues? You can eat at ease.
Many mothers panicked when they heard the word pesticide residue, but in fact they didn’t have to.
First of all, we must face up to pesticides.
The invention of pesticides has protected the increase of fruit and vegetable production and greatly reduced plant diseases and insect pests. It is also because of this that we can eat many, many strawberries and can afford strawberries (it is more expensive after greatly reducing production, isn’t it).
With the country’s more and more strict management of the management and use of pesticides, the toxicity of pesticides has also been greatly reduced.
The Food Safety Law promulgated and implemented in 2015 clearly stipulates that highly toxic and highly toxic pesticides are prohibited from being used in vegetables, fruits, tea and other crops.
Modern pesticide technology is promoted with safety as the main starting point. Generally, as long as pesticides are used in a standardized way, there will be no what impact on human health.
China’s sampling of fresh fruits and vegetables is also increasing, with the qualified rate of fruits sampled in 2017 above 97.5%.
After reading this data, is it a little reassuring?
Finally, even if it is found that the pesticide residues exceed the standard, it does not necessarily mean that they will endanger health, and it is no problem to wash them clean.
Clean strawberries, this is the most reassuring
In fact, for all fruits and vegetables, the effective cleaning methods to remove pesticide residues are the same, namely, the following three simple ones:
-
Flush
-
Peeling
-
Blanching and heating
For strawberries, washing is more suitable. Rinse under tap water for at least 30 seconds to achieve the cleaning effect.
If you want to go down the skin and add heat willfully, it is not impossible. I’m afraid it’s not enough to plug the teeth after peeling, and only a pot of soup is left after blanching…….
In addition, don’t use strange things to clean strawberries, because they may get dirtier and dirtier……
For example, we do not recommend using some detergent that claims to clean fruits.
Imagine the detergent swimming on the potholed surface of strawberries. After washing, the remaining ingredients may be much more than pesticides.
Sweet strawberries are actually very suitable for children to eat.
Strawberries are rich in vitamin C, 58.8 milligrams of vitamin C per 100g of strawberries, far better than apples, pears and other fruits.
If you want to supplement vitamin C to Eva, eating strawberries is perfect, and the effect is even better than sour lemon.
Strawberry is also rich in dietary fiber, which can effectively prevent constipation of the baby and keep poop unobstructed. In addition, the water in strawberries is sufficient, which can replenish water for the baby in dry winter.
What is commendable is that strawberries with the above advantages have very low sugar content and are also very healthy for babies.
After reading the article, can you rest assured to eat strawberries for Eva?
If there is still a mother who is not willing to give Eva strawberries, then according to the judgment of all the members of the editorial department of Clove Mother, this is the only reason:
You want to keep it for yourself!
