Nutritional value:
Jelly is a delicious food with water, sugar, carrageenan and konjac powder as the main raw materials, which is made by sol, blending, filling, sterilization and cooling. Carrageenan, also known as carrageenan and carrageenan, is a natural polysaccharide colloid extracted from natural eucheuma and other seaweeds. It has the basic characteristics of soluble dietary fiber and is a safe thickener approved for various foods in China. Amorphophallus konjac is a DIY jelly herb, also known as konjac powder, which is mainly distributed in Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Shaanxi and other places in China, and konjac powder is a powdery product extracted through deep processing. The main ingredient of konjac flour is glucomannan, which is a safe food ingredient approved for use in China. At present, gelatin is not used in the domestic jelly industry, which can be seen from the product ingredient list of jelly packaging. Moreover, the proportion of rubber powder such as carrageenan and konjac powder in jelly is generally about 65438 0%, accounting for about 5% of the total cost.
But don't easily believe that eating it can supplement calcium. Because jelly contains a lot of dietary fiber, it is digested very quickly in the human body, and the supplementary nutrients will soon be lost with the metabolism of the human body, so the supplementary effect is not very good.
Algae gum is used in most jellies and is a natural food additive. In nutrition, it is called soluble dietary fiber. As we know, fruits, vegetables and coarse grains all contain certain dietary fiber, and their main nutritional function to human body is to regulate intestinal function, especially to moisten the intestines and relax the bowels. Jelly has the same function as them. Eating more can increase intestinal wetness and improve constipation.
Oligosaccharides are also added to some jellies, which can regulate intestinal flora, increase beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium, strengthen digestion and absorption function, and reduce the probability of illness. According to the survey, it is a common phenomenon that most people in China consume high-fat and high-energy foods in their daily diet. When vegetables and fruits cannot be supplemented in time, it is a good choice to eat more jelly to improve digestion.
Another advantage of jelly is its low energy. It contains almost no energy nutrients such as protein and fat, so people who want to lose weight or keep slim can safely eat it.
