ritual by the past, the Chinese New Year must be something糖吃. With sugar, it looks sweet, colorful, happy days. Old Beijing is always recalled the past salad sugar, there are a lot of the classic varieties, what acid tri-color, ah, ah peanut milk sugar, red shrimp, crisp ah, butter ball, ah, ah sugar plum ... again ... the best a few a wine chocolate, watching feel special advanced. As for the nutritional value of these things like how, in general did not consider the person. There is sweet, there is flavor, enough good.
Unfortunately, I can not remember how long it has not eaten a candy other than chocolate. Candy in order to answer nutrition questions, specially went to the supermarket, go to experience the face of the scene quoted above, the feeling of a variety of candies. Do not want to see a child eating a lot of the classic varieties, immediately touches the heart of hearts.
if the nutritional value of the classification of candy can be roughly divided into 5 categories: fruits, sugar and candy categories, sugar and butter toffee, jellies category酥糖and nuts, and chocolate-type .
fruit sugar, is our tradition to eat the fruit sugar, plum sugar, all kinds of sugar such as fruit juices, soft candy is like sorghum-yee and牛皮糖maltose, fruit juice, soft sweets of category. A variety of fruit sugar, fruit sugar, such as hard candy at the sugar content are more than 90%, and some even reached 98%; soft sweets sugar content can reach more than 85%, slightly larger than some of its moisture, so by the dry matter to Say, is still occupied more than 90% sugar.奶味Candy (fondant) is the same. The reason why there is a soft fruit candy flexible texture, because it contains pectin or carrageenan, such as glial component. Generally speaking, this type of candy very few vitamins and mineral content, fat content is extremely low, almost all the calories from sugar, so eat them up at the nutritional equivalent of eating sugar.绿绿candy in red color, almost all from the pigment; its various fruit flavors, almost all from the flavor.
Western toffee category is not as people imagine, as are milk-based products. One of sugar at about 85%, only 2% protein content, fat content reached 6%, lower than the nutritional value of carbohydrates酥糖and peanuts. For example, butter soft sweets (fudge) among the sugar content of about 75%, fat content at 6% or even up to 10%. In contrast, toffee (toffee) higher fat content, up to 25%, while the sugar content is lower, at around 70%. At present, the majority of sugar in the butter, add the butter is not true, but hydrogenated vegetable oil made from cream plant, which accounted for about half the saturated fat, and may contain trans fatty acids. These sugars are not so healthy food selection. This type of candy to eat, which is equivalent to eating butter add sugar plants.
jelly-type candy are carrageenan, water, sugar made from three main raw materials and cold, because of water, and must rely on to save preservatives. If there is no fruit block, and its relatively low nutritional value, mainly to provide texture, fill in the stomach plays a role. If not quite so sweet as a snack before dinner, must have the role of appetite suppressants. However, if it give the child to eat when snacks may backfire, and will hinder the children's meals when the intake of enough nutrients.
酥糖not the case, it is very little water, which contains part of fat. Crispy texture, are to leave the fat should not exist.酥糖general use peanuts, sesame candy hearts like to do the raw materials, or directly caused酥糖bean flour and so on, so it's fat content can reach more than 10%, there is more than 5% of the protein, must have the mineral content and a small amount of B vitamins, and the remaining 75 percent are more than sugar. Nuts is the traditional sesame sugar tablets sugar, peanut chip sugar, walnuts sugar tablets, and its proportion of nuts to one-half to one-third of the club with similar酥糖, containing more fat, protein, vitamins and minerals. For children,酥糖sugar and nuts nutritional value than fruit sugars. Eat sesame candy, peanut candy, etc., equal to eat 1-2 of sugar add 1 peanut nutrition.
chocolate category is a typical high-fat high-calorie sweets. Its fat content is usually up to more than 40% sugar content above 50% and contains about 4% protein. Chocolate a solid at room temperature because of its relatively high degree of fat saturation. However, micronutrients, the comparative advantages of chocolate because it contains a considerable amount of potassium, calcium and magnesium, but also contain a certain amount of vitamin B1 and B2. Of course, more importantly, high-quality chocolate contains a very high polyphenols, which it has a certain antioxidant effects.
need to remind people that chocolate, the role of nutrition and health, with its cocoa powder or cocoa content has a great relationship puree. If cocoa ingredients from more than 70%, sugar content is low, re-bitter taste, color浓黑, then it is a benefit for heart health food.
If cocoa ingredients from only 20% ~ 30% (currently the vast majority of the market are the stalls of chocolate), one of over 50% sugar, then the heart and Nothing benefits. If some kind of chocolate is too cheap, the above also says "on behalf of cocoa butter", it is best not to buy. Since this kind of chocolate has not in fact have their names, using hydrogenated vegetable oil created by substituting cocoa butter substitute for the real cocoa ingredients, not only for good heart health, but also very harmful. Unfortunately, as the bulk sale of chocolate candy, most of which are in this category. Including some wedding happy sweet, chocolate wine and so on, basically to occupy the mainstream of this fake chocolate.
so, in general, sweetened fruits and vegetables instead of high nutritional value of food, but a fun to taste the food. If you eat candy, on浅尝辄止it. Beauty at the Valentine's Day, if the purchase of chocolate to the beloved people, but also the best to stay away from the kind of fake chocolate. However, South China's traditional sesame candy, peanut candy films and so on, have some nutritional value, it may allow them to continue to spread indefinitely.
