This is how you should eat nuts in autumn!

Autumn is the season for nuts. Various nutritious nuts are available, adding variety to our diet. Nuts are not only crunchy, but also rich in protein, dietary fiber, vitamins and antioxidants, which have many benefits for health. Let's learn more about autumn nuts.

1. Common types of nuts in autumn

2. Nut quality risks

1. Nuts are prone to rancidity. Acid value and peroxide value are often used as important indicators to evaluate the rancidity of oils. Nuts are rich in unsaturated fatty acids and are prone to oxidation during production, processing and storage of finished products. Bulk sales and unpacking of large packages will accelerate the oxidation reaction, causing the acid value and peroxide value of nuts to exceed the standard, and produce rancid and other odors.

2. Nuts are easily contaminated by aflatoxin B1 and mold. Improper moisture control during the storage and transportation of nut raw materials can easily lead to mold contamination and the production of mycotoxins under appropriate conditions. Improper process control during nut processing can also easily lead to mold contamination.

Tips for choosing and eating nuts

The "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2022)" recommends eating nuts in moderation, 50 to 70 grams per week. When choosing and eating nuts, pay attention to the following points:

1. Give priority to buying nuts that are well packaged or freshly roasted. When buying in offline supermarkets, pay attention to the production date and shelf life of the nuts, and choose products with a recent production date and within the shelf life. When buying bulk nuts sold in the open, pay attention to the processing date. It is recommended to choose fresh products that are freshly roasted and sold. When buying online, it is recommended to buy packaged nut products. Don't listen too much to the anchor's introduction. Try to choose original nuts and eat less high-salt and high-sugar nuts.

2. When storing nuts, pay attention to moisture and oxidation prevention. It is recommended to buy them as soon as they are eaten, avoid stockpiling in large quantities, and eat them as soon as possible after opening the bag. Uneaten nuts should be sealed and stored in a cool and dry place to prevent moisture and oxidation.

3. Pay attention to diversity and consumption. There are many types of nuts, each containing different nutrients. We should pay attention to diversity when eating nuts to ensure a comprehensive intake of various nutrients. Nuts have a low water content, so they should be supplemented with water when consumed to avoid discomfort caused by dehydration of the tongue and digestive tract mucosa.

4. Some people should be careful when eating nuts . People with diarrhea, throat diseases, and those with poor digestive function should try to avoid eating nuts or eat them with caution under the guidance of a doctor. Some people are allergic to products such as peanuts and cashews, so they should choose according to their own physical condition to prevent allergies.
