Have you ever imagined eating bota? And the smell of smoke, is it good in food? Often foods are not what they seem, especially the industrialized, and the danger exists because many products that look good are actually bad, and we end up hurting our health by consuming them often.
Here are 7 examples of foods that are not what they seem.
1. Caper
A caper is a seasoning widely used to prepare meats, fish and salads. But instead of an herb or seed, in fact it is the bud of a Mediterranean flower, and needs to be put in salt for several days before being consumed.
The caper is rich in vitamin A, calcium and magnesium, helping to maintain skin and hair health and helping relax muscles. In addition, each scoop of caper has only 4.5 calories, being a great seasoning to be used in dieting diets.
2. Mushrooms
Whoever thought the mushroom was a plant, erred. Despite growing in the garden, mushrooms are fungi, living beings from the same group of bread mold and chilblain on the foot.
In addition to edible mushrooms, such as champignon, there are also important mushrooms for medicine, such as those that produce the antibiotic penicillin, and poisonous mushrooms, which cause poor health even after cooking, causing nausea, vomiting and hallucinations.
3. Hamburger
The hamburger is usually made with leftover meat that accumulates over the course of days, being rich in fats and sometimes out of date.
The ideal is to consume homemade hamburger or ask the butcher to make the hamburger with the meat you desire. So, in addition to quality meat, you still avoid consuming the additives and preservatives of the ready-made hamburgers.
4. Kani Kama
The kani kama, widely used in sushi and seafood dishes, as well as fish also contains egg, potato and sugar. In addition, it is also rich in salt, favoring fluid retention and weight gain.
5. Diet and light foods
Diet and light foods are not always the best choice, because to enhance the taste and make them taste better, the industry often increases the amount of fat and salt, which is more harmful to health. Here's an example of a label and learn how to lose weight without having to eat diet and light.
6. Squirt Jelly
It may seem strange, but the truth is that the mocotó jelly is made from the cow's paw. Despite a strange origin, it is delicious and super nutritious, being rich in vitamin A, B1, B6, B12, C, folic acid and pantothenic acid.
7. Sausage
Anyone who thinks the sausage is made out of beef or chicken alone is very much mistaken. It contains everything: beef, chicken, pork, turkey, soy, potato starch and even the aroma of smoke. In addition, it is rich in preservatives and additives to enhance flavor and increase shelf life.
So the ideal is to read the labels to know what you are eating, because not everything that is delicious is good for health, and diseases such as diabetes and hypertension can arise due to excessive consumption of food that apparently do not hurt.
