[Frequently Asked Questions: (Q: Why does glucose have it in it?] )】
A: The glucose contained in 'Riff Workshop Kyushu Vegetables and Shiitake Mushrooms' is not a food additive but is generally treated as a 'food.'
By adding glucose, which is a food product, you can enjoy the following benefits.
1: Prevents fading of dried vegetables.
2: The advantage of extending the shelf life of dried vegetables.
3: Benefits for faster "return" from the state of dried vegetables.
4: If glucose is not used, the shape and quality of vegetables in the factory cannot be stabilized, which takes extra time and effort, which in turn raises the price...
For these reasons, I use it in small amounts.
Although many people misunderstand "glucose," according to the "Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare Health Information Site for Lifestyle Disease Prevention (e-Health Net)," the following information is provided.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is the most abundant representative monosaccharide found in nature. It serves as the energy for plants and animals to function.
It is the only substance the brain can use as energy and is also an important nutrient for the human body.
Glucose is abundant in fruits and grains, and is the most abundant monosaccharide in nature.
In Japanese, it is called 'doto' because it was discovered in grapes.
Among sugars, it is the most basic monosaccharide (the smallest unit of sugar), and together with other monosaccharides such as fructose and galactose, (or glucose itself) forms sucrose, lactose, starch, and so on.
Carbohydrates obtained from food are eventually broken down into glucose through digestion and absorption, which is used as an energy source.
Because it is broken down and absorbed faster than lipids, it is suitable for quickly replenishing energy and raising blood sugar levels when blood sugar drops too low due to intense exercise or insulin abnormalities such as diabetes.
Except in special cases, it is the only substance the brain can use as energy and is also an important nutrient for the human body.
It exists in the blood as blood sugar, and its concentration is controlled by insulin. When the concentration of glucose in the blood rises, insulin converts it into triglycerides, which are stored in fat cells. Therefore, consuming too much glucose can lead to obesity and is also linked to lifestyle-related diseases.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As stated, glucose is an important nutrient for the human body, and we use it to help maintain the quality of our product more easily.
[Frequently Asked Questions: (Q: Is the color slightly different? Is that okay?] )】
A: Dried vegetables inevitably start to fade little by little over time.
However, as long as the product is within its expiration date, there will be no quality issues, so please rest assured.
[Frequently Asked Questions: (Q: After reheating with hot water, there is a slight sweetness. Is there any way to fix it?] )】
A: Since a small amount of glucose is used, there may be individual differences, but some people may find the sweetness a little noticeable.
If you notice a slight sweetness, please soak the product in hot water once, then drain the water thoroughly before use.
[Frequently Asked Questions: (Q: Can I eat it as is without reheating with hot water?] )】
A: Basically, we recommend soaking it in hot water to soften it before eating.
Depending on the intended use, if you try to crush it with a food processor or other creative methods, it should be suitable for various uses.
