Bamboo shoot color is not really important
It is best to choose famous production units with clear origins. With modern production technology, vermicelli will be colorless transparent if produced from pure flour (including dong flour, green bean flour, cassava flour, etc.).
colorless vermicelli does not mean vermicelli is bleached. In addition, processed vermicelli can also be colored to make consumers look more confident.
It is best for consumers to choose vermicelli products with brands, sturdy packaging, clear packaging information, and secondary labels for imported products.
Freshly packaged vermicelli can be left in the refrigerator for another week
If you accidentally buy a big, big bag of fresh vermicelli, open it without using it all right away, you can completely wrap it in a food bag or storage container and put it in the refrigerator for another week without worrying about spoiling it.
Note that the vermicelli to be stored must be taken directly from the original vermicelli bag, without going through the steps of washing or drying, avoid touching the ceiling directly to minimize the amount of microorganisms. When taken out for use, just release it into the boiling water for a few seconds before the vermicelli returns to be transparent and soft and chewy like new.
Fresh vermicelli does not need to be stored in cold
Normally, with fresh food, people often want to remove the refrigerator or ice pack to keep the product longer. According to research, fresh vermicelli on the market have a shelf life of about 45 days if stored at normal temperatures, up to 3 months if stored in the refrigerator.
However, women who use fresh vermicelli for their families often tend to buy and process it within a few days instead of storing it like dried vermicelli. Therefore, if the refrigerator is small and tight, we can completely store fresh vermicelli like regular dried foods in a dry, airy place, avoiding direct sunlight.
Choose vermicelli made from green beans for the elderly, people with diabetes, people who need to control blood sugar
The elderly, people with diabetes, and people who need to control blood sugar should prioritize choosing foods with low GI (glycemic index) to help control blood sugar stably.
GI is an index that assesses the ability to absorb quickly/slowly and increase the concentration of glucose in the blood of foods containing sugar powder compared to glucose. The lower the GI, the better it is for the elderly and people with diabetes.
Some foods with a low GI include: green beans, whole grains, vegetables, fruits, etc. Therefore, vermicelli made from green beans is an extremely reasonable choice for the elderly, people with diabetes, and people who need to control blood sugar.
