According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), pasta contains high levels of vitamin C, beta-carotene and polyphenols, which can reduce oxidative stress and support the immune system.
NIH also pointed out that the leaves of raw pasta contain a quantity of cyanogenic glycoside, a compound that can release hydrogen cyanide (HCN) when eaten raw or processed without enough heat.
This compound can affect the activity of cell enzymes, especially in the liver. Therefore, the main noodles always need to be cooked thoroughly to ensure safety.
A study published in the Journal of Food Composition and Analysis shows that just boiling the whole wheat flour for 10-15 minutes can reduce the amount of natural cyanide in the leaves by 95-99%.
At the same time, research shows that the plant protein and antioxidant content in vegetables is still well preserved after cooking.
This confirms that the main noodles are very nutritious, but absolutely should not be eaten raw or Anh Trai.
In an analysis by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, experts say that pasta is a green vegetable rich in soluble fiber that can reduce cholesterol absorption and stabilize blood sugar after eating.
Harvard also notes that vegetables high in oxalates and phytate (including chay leaves) can affect calcium absorption and increase the risk of kidney stones in sensitive people. Therefore, people with a history of kidney stones should limit their regular intake.
Cornuts are high in vitamin K and potassium - two important nutrients for bones and electrolyte balance. However, taking too much vitamin K can affect people taking anticoagulants such as warfarin.
In addition, high potassium intake can increase the burden on the kidneys in people with kidney failure or who are monitoring blood potassium. Therefore, people with kidney disease or are monitoring potassium should limit it, because vegetables contain high potassium content.
People taking anticoagulants (warfarins) due to high vitamin K intake can affect the effectiveness of the drug.
People with a history of kidney stones because of their natural oxalate content may increase the risk of crystallization.
People with a weak stomach or irritable bowel syndrome are prone to bloating when eating a lot of saponin.
Absolutely avoid eating them raw, because the cyanide toxin has not been broken down.
