How to choose fried dough sticks

1. Listen to the fried dough sticks. After they are just out of the frying pan, they are usually placed on a plate. You can pick up the dough stick and knock it on the edge of the plate. If there is a muffled sound, it means there is no leavening agent in the dough sticks. If there is a loud and banging sound, it means the dough sticks contain excessive aluminum. It is best not to buy such dough sticks.

2. Smell the fried dough sticks fermented with yeast, which tend to become sour and often require the addition of alkaline noodles to neutralize the taste. If you smell the scent of alkaline noodles after breaking open the fried dough stick, it means that no chemical substances have been added. If there is an oily smell without any other smell, it means that leavening agents have been added, and it is best not to eat them.

3. Look at the fried dough sticks just out of the pan bought from the breakfast stall, they are hot and plump, but when you get home, the fried dough sticks you see become much thinner and deflated, and they stick to your teeth when you eat them. This means that the leavening agent aluminum has been added, and you should not eat such food.

Are fried dough sticks considered hair-raising food?

Fried dough sticks are not a hairy food.

For most people, it is not. If you are a hypersensitive patient, corn is one of them. Fascinating foods refer to foods that are rich in nutrition or irritating and are particularly likely to induce certain diseases (especially old diseases) or aggravate existing diseases.

Foods that cause allergies, such as chicken, eggs, and pork heads, are foreign proteins to the human body, which can constitute allergens and cause illness. Fish, shrimp, and crabs contain histamine, which can increase vascular permeability, dilate capillaries, cause congestion, plasma exudation, edema, hypersecretion of glands, and increase in eosinophils, thus leading to allergic reactions in the body, that is, allergic reactions, and induce skin diseases, such as erythema, papules, blisters, and fever. Some highly sensitive patients can even have allergic reactions to rice, wheat, and corn. Wine, onions, and garlic can directly cause dilation of skin capillaries and accelerated blood flow through alcohol or volatile irritants, aggravating the original skin disease or prolonging the condition.
