Benefits of fermented food

1. Fermented food is rich in protein. Experiments show that yeast is rich in vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Every 1 kg of dry yeast contains protein, which is equivalent to the protein content of 5 kg of rice, 2 kg of soybean or 2.5 kg of pork. Therefore, the nutritional content of steamed bread and bread is 3-4 times higher than that of pie and noodles, and nearly 2 times higher in protein.

2. Nutrients are beneficial to the absorption of fermented yeast, and are also a strong antioxidant, which can protect the liver and have a certain detoxification effect.

Selenium, chromium and other minerals in yeast have the functions of anti-aging, anti-tumor, preventing arteriosclerosis and improving human immunity. After fermentation, phytic acid which affects the absorption of calcium, magnesium, iron and other elements in flour can be decomposed, thus improving the absorption and utilization of these nutrients by human body.

3. People with weak digestive function are suitable to eat fermented bread and steamed bread, which is beneficial to digestion and absorption, because enzymes in yeast can promote the decomposition of nutrients. Therefore, people with weak digestive function, such as the physically weak, children and the elderly, are more suitable for eating this kind of food.

Extended information on the hazards of fermented food;

At present, fermented food has been questioned by many health problems. This is closely related to the pollution of fermented food. In food fermentation, there are many possibilities of pollution, such as all kinds of pollution from soil, water and air. In production and processing, if the storage temperature and time are not properly controlled, excessive nitrite and harmful substances will be accumulated, which will bring potential dangers.

Improper diet is an easily overlooked risk factor. Fermented meat products such as sausages should not be fried at high temperature to prevent carcinogenic nitroso compounds.

There are also fermented foods, especially pickles, bean paste, fermented bean curd and so on. Both contain a lot of salt, which is easy to raise blood pressure. This is why people think that fermented food is harmful to health.
