Nowadays, Dried Vegetables and Frozen Dried Vegetables are becoming more and more popular on the market. Especially for busy office workers, it is difficult to find time to cook a nutritious meal. Therefore, the processed freeze-dried vegetable bag is not only convenient to carry, but also can be eaten quickly, and has become a new choice for urban people to supplement nutrition. Can Dehydrated Vegetables really supplement nutrition? Today, Hydrogen will help you understand. Dehydrated vegetables, as the name suggests, are dried vegetables that are artificially processed to remove most of the water. During this process, the water content in vegetables is reduced to less than 10%. Today's Hydrogen suggests that this treatment is more conducive to inhibiting the growth of microorganisms, preventing various enzymes in the vegetables from chemically reacting and deteriorating, and prolonging the shelf life. Moreover, the weight of the dehydrated vegetables is greatly reduced, which is more conducive to packaging and carrying. In terms of nutrition that many people are concerned about, even after dehydration, the fat-soluble vitamins, dietary fiber and mineral elements can be retained to the greatest extent. Moreover, today's Hydrogen suggests that compared with fresh vegetables, dehydrated vegetables are more nutritious per unit mass. Although a large basket of vegetables may shrink into a small bag after dehydration, the main nutrients are still that large basket. 50g of dehydrated vegetables are equivalent to the nutrients of 500g of fresh vegetables. So does dehydration treatment damage the nutrients of vegetables at all? Of course not, dehydration treatment usually requires hot air drying or heat pump drying, and some water-soluble and thermally unstable substances such as phenols, anthocyanins, water-soluble vitamins, etc. There will be losses. Therefore, today's Hydrogen does not recommend dehydrated vegetables to completely replace fresh vegetables, and eating them together is more beneficial to health.
