Vegetable powder retains most nutrients of vegetables, including various minerals, vitamins, dietary fiber and so on. It can be absorbed by the human body through the intestine, and does not need to be chewed slowly like daily fruits and vegetables, which is an advantage of vegetable powder. However, any food will have different degrees of nutritional loss during processing. For example, various vitamins are most easily destroyed during processing, especially during high temperature processing. Vegetable powder also mostly lacks people's daily essential fat and protein. In this sense, the nutritional value of vegetable powder is not higher than that of fresh vegetables.
However, due to the short appearance time of these vegetable powders, there is no scientific conclusion about their nutritional efficacy. In this way, the myth of vegetable powder as a nutritional health care product does not exist. However, Teacher Liu said that some vegetable powders are added with other nutrients, such as beef vegetable powder and V6 vegetable powder, which is another matter. However, the domestic health care products market has always been ups and downs, and many health care products are hype of concepts, which can not stand the test of practice and time, and their efficacy is exaggerated and becomes a fatal weakness.
Experts disagree that vegetable powder can be used as a "panacea" to treat diseases. Because food is food, health care products are health care products, and medicines are medicines, there are strict definitions and distinctions among them. The Regulations on the Administration of Food Labeling points out that food labeling has the function of preventing and treating diseases; Non-health care products that express or imply health care functions shall not appear in food labels. There shall be no deceptive or misleading description or introduction of food in the food label.
Experts believe that it is ok to eat some vegetable powder properly. If the intake of vegetables and fruits is relatively small, it can play a supplementary role. However, if you eat vegetable powder as a health care product or even a medicine, you will fall into a nutritional misunderstanding. Vegetable powder is food, health care products need to have the name "Jian" approved by the state, and drugs need to have the words approved by the national pharmaceutical department. If there is neither, it can only be food. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, vegetable powder should be eaten dialectically. For example, bitter melon powder, konjac powder, etc., have a certain weight loss effect because these powdery foods absorb water and swell after entering the stomach, which is easy to cause satiety. But the intake of any food should be limited, and the total intake should be controlled. You must never eat vegetable powder as a meal. It is wrong to substitute flour for vegetables, rice and even medicine. Excessive consumption of bitter melon powder and konjac powder will affect the absorption of minerals and trace elements such as calcium, iron and zinc. There are also some vegetable powders made of cool food, such as bitter melon powder, wax gourd powder and mung bean powder, which will hurt the stomach if eaten too much. Therefore, eating vegetable powder should be timely and appropriate.
