4-6 months after the baby began to add complementary food, vegetable juice within a year old, vegetable puree, two or three years old gradually adapt to steamed, boiled, stewed, fried vegetables, vegetables is essential for your baby, because vegetables are rich in potassium, magnesium Such as various minerals, water-soluble vitamins and various biological active ingredients, which are cereal foods, legume foods, and animal foods are unmatched and alternative nutritional advantages. In addition to the general nutrition of vegetables, what is the difference between the nutritional value of different colors such as green, red, orange, purple and light yellow? What does this have to do with its color? We come together to "discuss words" to identify vegetable nutrition. Different colors of vegetables, how do you eat baby?
One, green vegetables
Green vegetables are the largest proportion of all colors. Oil, wheat, rape, garland chrysanthemum, spinach, leeks, celery...their green comes from chlorophyll. Chlorophyll has the effects of improving constipation, lowering cholesterol, preventing liver cancer, colon cancer and breast cancer. To reduce chlorophyll loss, it is recommended that:
1, boiling water
100 °C can completely lose the activity of chlorophyllase and reduce the damage to chlorophyll. Keep boiling water in mind here, because 60 ~ 82.2 °C is the most suitable temperature for chlorophyllase to exert its activity. When water is not served, it will increase the damage of chlorophyll. In addition, boiling water can passivate vitamin C oxidase, reduce the loss of vitamin C; can also remove most of the oxalic acid that affects the absorption of calcium, iron and other minerals, remove some of the water-soluble pesticide residues. Boil water for 30 seconds to 1 minute, but the time will increase but will increase the loss of a variety of nutrients, so when the baby cooking must be boiled for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
2. Do not add vinegar for cooking
Two-year-old babies can directly eat cold, fried dishes, but it is recommended not to add vinegar when cooking, vinegar to reduce the pH, so that chlorophyll into pheophytin, lose the activity of chlorophyll itself, but also make the vegetables appear irreversible The brown color affects the baby's appetite.
Second, red vegetables
The most common red vegetable is tomato. The tomato red comes from lycopene. Adding tomatoes in the complementary food can enhance the antioxidant capacity of the baby (the antioxidant capacity of lycopene is 3.2 times that of beta-carotene, which is vitamin E. 100 times,) more importantly, it can also enhance your baby's immunity and improve skin allergies. In addition, red pepper is also a red vegetable. Its red color is derived from capsanthin and has certain health benefits, but it is too irritating for your baby. It is not recommended to add baby food supplements as a condiment, but the red bell peppers taste sweet and can be eaten by the baby.
The highly ripe red tomato is rich in lycopene, which is the point of selecting the tomato. About tomato's eating suggestions:
1, eat raw or cooked? Once there is a saying that raw vitamin C is obtained, and that lycopene is obtained when cooked. In fact, lycopene and vitamin C are not stable to heat, but the tomato can be pancaked in two or three minutes with rapid fire, both for vitamin C and tomato. The loss of red pigment is not very big, but the heating can damage the tissue, which is beneficial to the release of lycopene. However, chewing on it can also destroy the tissue. Therefore, raw or cooked food can be used, and the tomato juice can be labeled according to the baby's preference. , mash into tomato puree, bigger baby can directly lick the tomato.
2, tomato or tomato sauce? If the baby does not like to eat tomatoes directly, add ketchup to seasoning. Eating 20 grams of high-concentration tomato paste (35 g lycopene/100 g) on ​​a daily basis is equivalent to half a catty of raw tomatoes, which is an advantage. However, pure tomato sauce is sour, so the ingredients are often seasoned with sugar and salt. Therefore, using ketchup can increase baby's sugar and salt intake. Therefore, it is recommended that you use it as a condiment, and do not use too much for each cooking.
Third, orange vegetables
When it comes to orange vegetables, everyone thinks of carrots and pumpkins! They are mainly orange because they contain β-carotene. Adding orange vegetables such as carrots and squash to baby food supplements can increase your baby's immune system and reduce repeated colds. It also benefits your baby's vision because β-carotene can In the body into vitamin A, vitamin A intake of excessive poisoning, but the method of vitamin A supplements through carrots is safe, because it will be converted to vitamin A according to your baby's physiological needs.
Do carrots have to be fried with oil? Beta-carrots are fat-soluble and oils are good for absorption. Therefore, there is a saying that carrots must be fried, but the absorption of beta-carotene is in the small intestine, as long as it meets oils and fats in the small intestine. Eat fried carrots, but eat meat or fried dishes can provide fat, so carrots do not have to fry to eat, but it is recommended that carrots steamed, boiled, boiled after the baby to eat, high-temperature cooking can damage the organization, Facilitates the release of beta-carotene.
Fourth, purple vegetables
The most common purple vegetable is purple cabbage. Some people also say that purple eggplant belongs to purple vegetables, but purple eggplant only has purple skin, and we eat eggplant, and most of the ingredients we eat are meat. So strictly speaking, purple eggplant cannot be called Purple vegetables, and purple cabbage, purple cauliflower can be called purple vegetables. Purple vegetables appear purple because they contain anthocyanins. Anthocyanins have many functions such as antioxidation, anti-inflammatory, anti-mutagenicity, antihypertensive, liver protection, etc., and can improve the baby's vision, so it is recommended to add in baby food supplement.
Anthocyanins are sensitive to heat, so it is recommended to use juices, salads, and raw foods. The sweet taste is also acceptable. Pure water can be used when the juice is used. If soda is used, the juice turns blue, because the anthocyanin has the characteristics of red when the acid is met and blue when it meets the alkali.
Five, pale yellow vegetables
This kind of vegetable is also more common, onions, cauliflower, potatoes are all. Their pale yellow color comes from flavonoids, which also act as antioxidants, mutations, and cardiovascular protection. Onion has a spicy taste, it is recommended to baby fried to eat, high levels of potato starch and dietary fiber, low protein content, give the baby to eat three or five a day, so as to avoid dietary fiber increase satiety, affecting other food intake, in addition Affects the absorption of minerals.
The nourishment of six different colors of vegetables varies, which is due to the different biological active ingredients, but they can basically improve the baby's immunity and enhance its antioxidant capacity. Therefore, mothers are more worried, juice, mud, steamed, boiled, stewed, different patterns to change for the baby to add nutrition!
