Although the ingredients in natura are the most advisable, the processed ones have been gaining more space in the table of the Brazilians
When the matter is time the answer is almost unanimous: rush. Modern life has facilitated many processes, but in contrast, the ability to manage multiple concurrent projects makes people increasingly busy. The impression it gives is that 24 hours is still too little to accomplish all the tasks, especially one: cooking. That is why fast-food chains and frozen dishes are so successful today. People are looking for practicality and the industry tries to meet this demand with a wide range of ready-to-eat foods.
Fruits, fish, vegetables and even full meals. There are a myriad of handy and affordable canned foods in the gondolas of any supermarket. It's so easy that it's tempting, is not it? But can these products actually replace the natural ingredients? Most people's doubts are about the quality of these foods. According to experts, there are some threats around this consumption, however, with due care is possible to incorporate them into the diet, sporadically, without risk.
Maize, palm hearts and fish are the most consumed
When it comes to canned foods, most people believe that these foods can help make a balanced meal. According to the survey "Brazilian Food Habits - preferences, diets and consumption trends", which had 1,021 participants from different regions of the country in the 2018 edition, 56.2% of consumers believe in this premise and consume such foods. On the other hand, 44% of them believe that the preservatives present in these products harm the diet.
Still according to the exclusive survey, carried out by Banca do Ramon, one of the most traditional emporiums of the Municipal Market of São Paulo, among the canned ones mentioned, those that the respondents affirmed to eat with a frequency, even more, than the own in natura , canned canned tuna (22%) and canned sardine (12%), canned maize (27%), canned tuna (25%), canned tuna (22%). Even if they are grains, vegetables and fish, these foods are industrialized and deserve more attention when making the recipes.
Where is the danger?
Any food that undergoes a process of industrialization must be consumed with caution. They deserve increased attention, from the time of shopping, when the product is chosen, until the time when it is used in the preparation of the dishes. According to nutritionist Juliana Tomandl, a consultant at Banca do Ramon, drilled, kneaded or steeled cans are signs of danger and therefore should not be consumed. "You have to pay extra attention to the choice of product, after all, if there are signs of holes, it means that food has been exposed to light, moisture, pollution and dust accumulated in the environment. In addition, the material constituting the can can be mixed with the stored ingredient, rendering it unfit for consumption. "
Excess Chemical Additives
The specialist explains that these accidents in tin cans can harm the whole quality of the food and, consequently, cause allergies, discomforts or intestinal damage. In relation to the stewed cans, Tomandl states that this indicates that the food entered into fermentation process of microorganisms and underwent chemical reactions unsuitable for consumption.
In addition, there are other factors that contribute to the bad reputation of the canned ones, one of them is the excess of salt that, in spite of enhancing the taste, causes the increase of the blood pressure and favors the retention of liquids. In the case of fruits in syrup, the sugar used is the biggest harmful agent to health, since it is capable of causing insulin surges in the blood and overload the functioning of the pancreas - the organ responsible for the production of this hormone. Therefore, according to the expert, the syrup of these canned fruits should not be consumed under any circumstances.
Not to mention the preservatives and other chemical components used to preserve the flavor of the ingredients. To help minimize this factor, the tip of the nutritionist is to choose, where possible, those who have been steamed, as this method requires fewer chemicals. But do not stop there, there are other details that deserve attention to ensure more safety.
