    Washing vegetables is a procedure that we must do before cooking.
    Is it enough to rinse with water? Wrong, you need certain skills to wash vegetables well~ Today, I will teach you the correct method of washing vegetables, which is both clean and can retain nutrients! In this part of the vegetable, the vegetable gang and the vegetable pedicle with a lot of pesticide residues are the part with the most pesticide residues
    .
    For example, the cabbage near the root of Chinese cabbage and the concave part of the bell pepper have more pesticides than other parts
    .
    It is best to throw away when eating .
    This has something to do with the growing method of vegetables and the spraying method
    .
    First of all, for leafy vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, the sprayed pesticides will flow down the leaves and stalks and gather under the vegetable gang.
    The vegetable gang is close to the ground and the pesticide catabolizes slowly, so there are more residues
    .
    Secondly, for vegetables with uneven stalks such as bell peppers, some pesticides will also accumulate
    .
    However, for wormwood stalks, cabbage stalks and other vegetables without obvious vegetable help, or such as cowpea, cucumber and other vegetables without noodles, it is not easy to have pesticide residues
    .
    Vegetables should be washed before cutting fresh vegetables are the main source of vitamin C
    .
    However, vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, which is easily dissolved in water, and it is easy to lose if you don't pay attention to it during cooking
    .
    If the whole vegetable or whole vegetable leaf is washed with clean water and then cut, the loss of vitamin C and other water-soluble vitamins can be reduced
    .
    On the contrary, if you cut it first and then wash it, and cut it very finely, it will inevitably dissolve a large amount of nutrients such as vitamin C in the water, causing the loss of nutrients
    .
    Therefore, when cooking vegetables, the correct way is to wash them first and then cut them
    .
    How to wash vegetables correctly 1 Stems and melon vegetables For cucumbers, green peppers, carrots, bitter gourds and other stems and melon vegetables, you can put edible vegetable detergent and soak in warm water for 1-2 minutes, then scrub with a soft brush and use Rinse with clean water
    .
    2 Leafy vegetables For leafy vegetables such as Chinese cabbage and cabbage, the outer leaves can be removed, and the inner leaves are soaked in warm water and then rinsed piece by piece with running water..
    3 Small-leaf vegetables and small-leaf vegetables such as spinach, chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, chicken feathers, Chinese cabbage, etc.
    , can be cut off the roots, placed in water and shaken to wash, and then the roots are rinsed up in front of the faucet, and the residual pesticides are removed through the impact and vibration of the water
    .
    4 Cauliflower, beans, cauliflower and other vegetables can be blanched with boiling water after washing, so that the residual bacterial pesticides can also be removed
    .
    In addition, ultraviolet light can also decompose and inactivate some residual pesticides in vegetables
    .
    Therefore, if conditions permit, everyone can put the vegetables in the sun to dry~ [Source: Civilization Jiangxi]
