The benefits and harms of the dish

Eating salad in small portions brings the following positive effects:

• due to the peculiarities of the composition of the snack, the volume of gastric juice secreted increases, which has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the digestive system, increases the metabolic rate, and improves appetite;

• the high content of coarse fibers helps to cope with constipation;
• spices have anthelmintic and expectorant properties; the antiseptic and immunostimulating effect of spices helps the body resist infection during seasonal diseases;
• carotene is necessary to improve vision;
• B vitamins have a positive effect on the condition of capillaries; The vasodilating effect of vitamin PP has a beneficial effect on the condition of blood vessels and heart function.

Excessive consumption of spicy snacks can:

Heh

Another example of an interesting transformation of a dish in Tashkent is fish heh (khweh, to be precise). Originally, hwe is a cutting method, like the Japanese use of sashimi. It's just fish, cut into pieces, served with sauces and eaten by dipping in them.

Koreans in Tashkent encountered freshwater fish; they mainly caught carp there, and it smells like silt. So the Koreans marinated it with vinegar, added pepper and herbs. It turned out to be a fish heh. And other products began to be prepared using the same principle. Heh can now be made from beef heart and chicken navels. Now heh - this is the way to refuel.

Contents of the BZHU

The optimal balance in the ratio of BJU, according to nutritionists, is the following indicator:

• 10 to 35% of calories should come from protein;
• 25 to 35% from fat;
• 45 to 65% from carbohydrates.

Depending on the composition, the BJU indicators of Korean carrots may fluctuate. On average, the numbers are as follows: proteins - 1.25 g (1% of the daily value), fats - 8.2 g (12%), carbohydrates - 9.8 g (6%). If we analyze the contribution of BJU to calorie content, we obtain the following figures: 4.2% proteins, 64.4% fats, 31.4% carbohydrates.

The product does not fully comply with healthy nutrition standards due to its low protein content. The salad also contains: dietary fiber (fiber) – 4.8 g (24%), ash – 1.1 g, water – 75.3 g (2.74%).

Secret 3. Spicy food

We’ve already talked about onions, garlic and kimchi, but Koreans eat spicy food everywhere and add spices to almost every dish, unless it’s dessert (however, spicy ice cream or caramel is not uncommon here either).

The tradition of active use of spices is directly related to the hot climate of Asia: hot seasonings have antibacterial properties and ensure the preservation of food. People invented refrigerators a long time ago, but the habit of eating spicy food in Asia remains. One of the most interesting authentic products is soy and soy-pepper pastes, which are used for marinades, salad dressings, and even simply as a spread on sandwiches. The degree of their spiciness can be determined by color: the hottest paste is red, gochudian.

Although pepper, ginger and other seasonings are indeed great for burning fat, Europeans should carefully introduce spicy foods into their diet and be sure to consult a doctor. Children are not given spicy food even in Korea: they are introduced to it gradually, starting from school age.

Hello. Let's calculate

Published Wed, 16/03/2016 — 11:01 by user Ira R

Hello. Let's calculate the calorie content! I make it myself, but I’ve never counted calories. True, there are many recipes, let’s take the statistical average. Recipe: carrots - 500 g, onions - 1 piece (80 g) garlic - 2-3 cloves vegetable oil - 50-60 ml vinegar 9% - 1.5-2 tablespoons, coriander - 1/4 teaspoon, red hot ground pepper, ground black pepper, sugar - a pinch, salt I make it without sugar. In general, we won’t count the spices, this is what we get. See the bottom line, AND THAT IS 111 kcal per 100 GRAMS. But there is one BUT. This is salt. If you put in enough of it, the carrots will retain water. What is not good.

Irinka, you have a lot of oil

Published Wed, 02/01/2017 — 02:47 by AsyaYa

Irinka, you splashed a lot of oil into the morkoaka)) I actually didn’t calculate it myself when I did it, but before Maggi I ate the store-bought one, it says 82 k on the package, but I think that’s also approximate. Of course there’s no harm from it, but This makes me thirsty. If you make it yourself, you can simply use less hot pepper and salt. Well, it’s not for everyone. The reason I buy it is because it’s hot, and you can only eat a hundred to hundred fifty grams of it.

What determines the calorie content of pickled carrots?

Raw carrots have one of the lowest calorie content (32 kcal/100 g). The energy value is increased due to the presence of sauce, butter, and sugar in the composition.

The highest calorie ingredients are:

• butter (899 kcal per 100 g);
• sugar (398 kcal);
• sesame (440 kcal);
• soy asparagus (440 kcal).

The ability to independently regulate the amount of added products and completely exclude some components makes a dish prepared at home much healthier than one bought in a store. For example, when heated for a long time, the oil begins to release carcinogens harmful to the body. This can be avoided by keeping the cooking process under control.

conclusions

It is advisable to avoid eating Korean carrots on a diet, since this dish has more disadvantages than advantages. Although one-time consumption of a moderate amount of snack (50-100 grams) will not cause significant damage to your figure. The main thing is to combine this salad with protein foods, such as meat, to make your diet balanced. Also give preference to home-cooked dishes. Thanks to this, you can control the amount of added sugar and butter. The less you add these components to the salad, the more harmless it will be for your figure. The above tricks will allow you to enjoy your favorite Korean carrots on a diet!

Is it possible to eat while losing weight and include it in the proper nutrition menu?

Korean-style carrots, the calorie content of which is the sum of the components included in the composition, can be included in limited quantities in the healthy nutrition menu and when losing weight.

The main disadvantages that negatively affect the functioning of the digestive system and inhibit the process of losing weight:

• presence of sugar: can provoke a sharp jump in blood sugar; its excess negatively affects the body’s burning of fat, slowing down the process;
• spices (including vinegar) increase appetite, which can lead to overeating;
• a high content of seasonings and salt slows down the process of removing fluid from the body.

If we consider the ratio of BJU dishes, we can note the high fat content. 100 g of snack eaten will take up 15-30% of the recommended daily intake of fat per day, which is comparable to a full meal.

The positive aspects of including salad in the diet menu include:

• improvement of metabolism;
• high fiber content has a beneficial effect on intestinal function;
• the presence of ingredients with antiseptic properties.

Beneficial features

6 types of nuts that are recommended to be consumed when losing weight, and is it possible to eat the product at night?
The benefit of this salad is that it effectively replenishes vitamin deficiency. Each of us has heard since childhood that carrots help preserve and restore vision due to vitamin A. The root vegetable really holds the record for its content, and 100 grams of salad contains 767% (!) of the daily intake.

The high fiber content is also of great value (4.8 g per 100 grams, 25% of the norm). Coarse dietary fiber from carrots produces moderate irritation of the intestinal walls, which improves peristalsis by stimulating blood circulation. This property is of great importance for those who suffer from chronic constipation and are trying to lose weight. True, the second category of people will have to make a carrot snack without oil, which significantly increases the calorie content of the dish.

The benefits of Korean carrots include many other positive effects:

• spices and herbs enrich the already diverse composition of antioxidants, which are necessary to neutralize free radicals, which are an oncological threat to the body;
• beta-carotene, in addition to its therapeutic effect on the eyes, is involved in strengthening the musculoskeletal system, and calcium, which is also found in the salad, helps it in this;
• the constant presence of Korean carrots in the diet ensures the effective removal of toxins from the liver and cholesterol from the blood vessels;
• 100 grams of salad contain 26% of the daily requirement of tocopherol (vitamin E) - a powerful antioxidant that prevents tissue aging by preventing cell peroxidation and thins the blood, protecting the cardiovascular system from the formation of clots.

When discussing the calorie content of Korean carrots, the average default value is taken, which is approximately 112 kcal per 100 grams. However, the actual energy value of a dish can be noticeably higher if the cook pours oil on it “from the heart.” Some recipes also increase calories by adding sugar. All these points should be taken into account when preparing - if you wish, you can not add oil at all or do with a minimum, then the dish will remain completely dietary. Remember also that the stomach needs to expend a lot of energy to digest an almost raw vegetable, which also reduces the actual nutritional value.

Recipes

Due to its low calorie content and virtually no fat content, carrots are one of the few vegetables that you can eat in the evening and still lose weight. To get good weight loss results during weight loss or dieting, dinner should be as light as possible and not overload the stomach. Healthy salads, smoothies or vegetable broths are considered worthy options for proper nutrition during weight loss diets.

So, the best recipes for weight loss with carrots.
