THE RISK OF FOOD-PRE-COOKED MEALS
The compression of time available to prepare meals "at home" has increased the consumption of "preparations" to make exceed the consumption of the latter by 30% compared to the total food consumption.
The phenomenon of "lack of time" has indeed radically changed eating habits in particular, and households in general, the Italians.
Now you have no time. No time to relax, no time to go shopping at the market, there is no time to clean the vegetables, there is no time for portioning a piece of meat, there is no time to cook food .... I still remember in my childhood when my grandmother would get up early in the morning, preparing in silence many varieties of vegetables on the stove and put a set of beautiful colors and fragrances that remained hours ... to join forces to create soups that were
Today these masterpieces ... images, that time is stretched so far seem to belong to an era so different from the hectic life that we do .. (especially us women, no longer guardians of the hearth, but working full-time!)
cooked foods were so well received by working women, the single, by people with little experience in the kitchen, hurried from the people and the elders.
In this context, the growth of ready meals is emblematic. In recent years, increases in turnover has been exponential, we can say that, according to figures provided by the best-known companies, their products of this area has been the overall better performance, beyond the biological and the same innovative food products .
Not many years since the first placements of the dishes prepared in our kitchen. It is essentially pre-cooked dishes, thanks to which we must solamente scaldare il prodotto o al più cuocerlo per poco tempo.
Possiamo trovare primi piatti tradizionali, secondi, sughi, zuppe o minestroni e, recentemente persino dolci.
Solitamente questi prodotti includono tutti gli ingredienti necessari alla preparazione del piatto. Ma sono ingredienti genuini? Essendo piatti pronti, l’aspetto critico degli ingredienti riguarda i conservanti (prolungano la durata del prodotto), gli additivi (aumentano l’appetibilità) e la scelta dei grassi utilizzati (spesso si cerca di risparmiare sulla genuinità degli ingredienti per cui si utilizzano margarine, grassi idrogenati, grassi vegetali generici). L’uso di oli diversi dall’olio di oliva extra-vergine deve considerarsi incomprehensible in the interests of the highest quality.
addition, the caloric intake of these foods is very little reliable and measurable. In general we can say that the values \u200b\u200bcan be (about 100g) 100 kcal for soups and stews, 140 kcal for the former and 120 kcal for the latter.
Two aspects to be taken into account are then el'appetibilità satiety. Often an indication of calorie intake may suggest a healthy food and "light", only to discover, after opening the container, which is very little filling.
But not everything has to be thrown away ... There are packages with large variety of vegetables, cereals and legumes might also rarely used in traditional cooking. In addition, there are preparations in which fat is used exclusively extra-virgin olive oil and no added preservatives or artificial colors or flavors of any kind.
We learn, therefore, have a look at the label when buying a product ... We check that there are no fat or hydrogenated vegetable fats and we expect good quality ingredients! It 'still a way to take care of ourselves and love each other ..
appreciable (and definitely useful!) The simplicity of preparation, often in the same compartment of the pack in the microwave in minutes!
As for the theme security must say that much depends on the quality of the original product and the rigor with which you followed the rules of hygiene during preparation. But to say that the manufacture, storage and distribution of industrially pre-cooked products are subjected to strict controls and regulations.
course, the more guarantees on the products to be eaten hot (the heat is already a method for cleaning bacteria) rather than products to be consumed as they are sold (salad, veal with tuna sauce.).
a nod to ready-made salads: advise you to rinse before eating.
