    Introduction: now many things in our country are imported from foreign countries, and food is no exception Which foods are imported from foreign countries? In fact, it's not just the Spring Festival At any time, the most important and proud thing for Chinese people is always "eating" When we carefully study the food that modern Chinese eat, we may be surprised that so many things are imported from foreign countries If it were not for all the opportunities in history, today's Chinese dining table would never be like this What kind of food is imported from foreign countries? 1、 Chicken, it is generally believed that the domestic chicken raised in the world originated from India Like all other "earliest", archaeologists in China and Vietnam claim to have discovered the world's earliest chicken raising remains But in recent years, DNA genetic research shows that the chickens we eat now can be traced back to India 2、 Wheat, originated in the Levant region of the Middle East If there is no wheat, there will be no steamed buns, dumplings, noodles and pancakes Of course, it was mainly the northerners who were affected In fact, the northerners are the descendants of the nomads 3、 Monosodium glutamate, like melamine, was not used as a food additive when it was discovered by German chemists In 1909, the Japanese discovered its edible value and sold it on a large scale 4、 Pepper, a European children's song, sings "ah ah ah, Chinese never grow pepper." Even Li Shizhen had never heard of pepper before Columbus savagely discovered the American continent, cruelly plundered it and sold it to China Like many other species, some people in China claim to have found wild pepper in recent years, but they haven't further studied where it came from 5、 Tomatoes, as we all know, seem to have little impact on the regular Chinese food What's more, it just affects the family dish "scrambled eggs with tomatoes" 6、 Potatoes, don't just think of potato silk It's said that the world population (including China's) is growing rapidly The most important contributions are potatoes (including antibiotics, poor contraceptives, etc.) 7、 Cucumber, native to India, was widely spread to Western Asia 3000 years ago It seems that in addition to home mixed cucumber and scrambled egg, it is not the main force of Chinese food Nowadays, many foods have food additives, so what are food additives? In fact, food additives are synthetic or natural substances added into food to improve the quality of food such as color, fragrance and taste, as well as to meet the needs of antisepsis and processing technology Some food additives are harmful to human body, but China's food safety detector can accurately check whether the food is safe or not, and whether there is excessive use of additives, so that we can eat food more safely If you want to know more about food additives, please go to Baibai safety net Editor in charge: he xianrob
