Undaria pinnatifida is a dish based on Undaria pinnatifida.

Undaria:

Undaria pinnatifida, Phaeophyta, laminariales, Phaeophyta, Undaria pinnatifida. It is a kind of seaweed plant with pinnate leaves, which are thinner than kelp and look like a broken sunflower fan, hence the name. Undaria pinnatifida is called "dish" in the materia medica of Song Dynasty in China, and its sound is Undaria pinnatifida. There are two kinds: light dry and salty dry. Undaria pinnatifida is a kind of seaweed, belonging to Laminariaceae, a brown algae plant, known as marine vegetables.

In addition to natural reproduction, artificial reproduction has also begun. Undaria pinnatifida, which grows naturally in Lushun, is called "natural spirulina" by Japan because of its superior geographical location and best quality, and its nutrition can be comparable to that of spirulina.

First, the main value:

Undaria pinnatifida has high economic and medicinal value. It not only contains rich protein, vitamins and minerals, but also contains alginic acid, mannitol, fucoidan, highly unsaturated fatty acids, fucoxanthin, organic iodine, sterols, dietary fiber and other active components with unique physiological functions.

It has many physiological activities, such as reducing blood fat, lowering blood pressure, regulating immunity, resisting mutation, resisting tumor and so on. It has a variety of pharmacological effects, and has good effects in antivirus, anti-tumor, lowering blood pressure, reducing weight and treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Second, the edible value:

Dietary fiber has the special function of adsorbing cholesterol and expelling it from the body. If beans, vegetables and mushrooms rich in plant fiber are mixed and eaten together, the role of dietary fiber will be further strengthened. Soybean contains a lot of protein which can strengthen blood vessels, but these protein will hinder the effective absorption of iodine, which is a necessary raw material for thyroid hormone synthesis. Therefore, if you eat Undaria pinnatifida with rich iodine content, you will get good iodine supplement effect.

Extended data

Dietary methods and areas:

Japan is a country with more seaweed dishes in the world. Besides Japan, there are some countries or regions in the world that eat seaweed.

(a), the American continent

There is basically no habit of eating seaweed. In some places on the east coast, people grind red algae such as carrageenan into powder, mix it with peptone and jam, and give it to patients. In Canada, people grind red algae into powder, make capsules and sell them as nutrients in the market to supplement the deficiency of vitamins and minerals. In South America, in addition to vitamin supplementation, seaweed is regarded as an important source of protein. For example, the content of protein in dried red algae is as high as 42%, and the contents of vitamin C, vitamin A and vitamin B are also very rich.

(2) Northern Europe

Porphyra and red algae are eaten in some areas of Iceland and other countries. In some places, laver is mixed with flour to make bread. In some areas, laver is mixed with flue-cured tobacco and chewing gum and chewed in the mouth, usually cooked with fish, milk and wheat. In some places, seaweed juice and cream are cooked together to make seaweed paste and sold in the market. In some parts of the Mediterranean, seaweed is used as the spice of soup, which is equivalent to Japanese bean jelly.

(3) Southeast Asia

People in India and other countries like to eat red algae such as agar, and Indonesians also like to eat some red algae as a side dish. Vietnamese people like to cook some red algae with high gum content and add sugar to taste. It is said that the colloids of these algae were exported to France in colonial times.

(4) China

A long time ago, in the inland area of China with Sichuan as the center, kelp was used as a medicine to treat big neck disease and began to be transported inland from the coast of the South China Sea. Sargassum, as a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, has expectorant effect in tea. Undaria pinnatifida and kelp are representative seaweeds in many dishes, and seaweeds are also widely used in famous bird's nest and shark's fin soup. Haiyan looked for seaweed from the sea, ate it in her stomach and spit it out. Due to the chemical action of gastric juice, seaweed becomes translucent colloid, and Haiyan sticks the colloid to feathers to form bird's nest, so the bird's nest soup we are talking about is actually Haiyan's soup.

(5) Korea

In Korea, some Japanese people don't like to eat seaweed, such as pine algae, waste cloth, centipede algae and so on. But locals like to eat, while Koreans don't eat seaweed like antler and hedges that Japanese like. South Korea's laver breeding industry has also gradually developed, and the output of laver has almost reached half of Japan's total output. In addition, the market consumption of Undaria pinnatifida is very large, and the per capita annual consumption is about twice that of Japan. Koreans also like to eat laver, but they don't pay attention to the fragrance of laver like the Japanese. They like to mix pepper, garlic and sesame oil to eat.
