How to cook carrots for better absorption

Cook and crush with a spoon.

Generally speaking, after the baby is born 4-6 months later, because of the perfect digestive function, the mother can add complementary food to it. Carrot puree is, of course, an important complementary food.

Carrots are highly nutritious and rich in carotene, ranking among the best among vegetables. Carotene can be converted into vitamin A in the small intestine wall and liver cells and used by the human body, and 70% of the vitamin A that normal people usually need is converted from carotene.

Vitamin A plays an important role in the integrity of the first and mucous membranes, improving immune function, preventing respiratory tract and urinary tract infections, promoting the growth and development of children, and participating in the formation of photosensitive substances in the retina. When mom's can do this:

1.After washing the carrots, peel and the hard core in the middle, cut them into small pieces, add an appropriate amount of water to boil, press them into a puree with a spoon, add a little sugar or salt, and add milk cake or rice cereal to eat.

2.Stir-fry the carrots, then put them in a juicer to puree, and add fish broth or the like. It tastes good and is rich in nutrients.

3.Wash the fresh carrots and puree them in a juicer. Some mothers think that since carrots are nutritious and their children love to eat them, it is better to give them a lot of carrots.

However, did you know that if you eat too many carrots, your baby will suffer from hypercarotenemia, and your baby's ** will turn yellow. Carrots contain a large amount of carotene, if you eat a lot of carrots in a short period of time, then the intake of carotene will be too much, the liver has no time to convert it into vitamin A, excess carotene will flow with the blood to all parts of the body, at this time children can appear palms, soles of feet and nasal tips, nasolabial folds, forehead, etc. ** yellow staining (but the sclera and mucous membranes have no yellow staining, which is different from jaundice caused by hepatitis), but there are no other symptoms. In severe cases, the yellow staining area can spread all over the body, and the baby may have symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and general fatigue.

Some children will have what TCM calls "fire" manifestations, such as glossitis, periodontitis, laryngitis, etc. However, if the baby has hypercarotenemia, the mother does not need to be too nervous. Because as long as you stop eating carrots for a few days, the baby's **yellow color will fade.

Of course, after all, hypercarotene is a pathological process, and if the baby really has this condition, the mother should not continue to give the baby a large amount of carrots.

My high school biology teacher said that the nutrients of carrots must be made of oil, and it is best to use animal oil (lard or the like) before they can be dissolved, that is, they can be absorbed by people.

Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which is fat-soluble, so you need to add a little more cooking oil than usual to cook together, which is easy to absorb and nutritious

Generally, it is fried in oil to facilitate the absorption of nutrients.

Whether carrot nutrition is well absorbed mainly refers to the carotene in it. Carotene is fat-soluble, so oils and fats are needed to help with their absorption. Generally speaking, we put oil in cooking dishes, so cooked carrots usually have oil, so in this sense, cooked carrots are indeed very nutritious.

But in recent years, there are more and more people who like to eat raw vegetables, and it is okay to eat raw foods with oil at the same time as raw food, such as eating raw peanuts or raw walnuts while eating raw carrots, so that the oil in peanuts and walnuts can help absorb carotene.

However, cooked carrots still have a unique advantage, after the food is heated, the food cell wall will be ruptured and dissolved, which is conducive to the dissolution of -carotene in the cells, which is widely in contact with the oil and absorbed by the body.

In general, carrots are best eaten cooked, and a small amount of cooking oil is added, if they are eaten raw, such as cold shredded radish, adding an appropriate amount of sesame oil and stirring will improve the absorption rate of carotene.

If you want to make the most of the carotene in carrots, deep frying is the worst cooking method, and then stewing after frying in oil is the next worst. Of course, fried carrots are really delicious, and we should also fully enjoy their deliciousness. If you want to fry carrots, you might as well put a little less oil, lower the oil temperature a little, don't use the frying method, and don't let a lot of yellow oil stick to the plate and be thrown away, you can take into account the deliciousness and nutrition.
