[Frequently asked questions: (Q: Why is there glucose?] )】
A: The glucose contained in "5 kinds of dry vegetables made from Kyushu vegetables and shiitake mushrooms" is not a food additive and is generally treated as a "food".
And by adding glucose, which is a food, there are the following benefits.
1: Prevent the fading of dried vegetables.
2: The advantage of being able to extend the shelf life of dried vegetables.
3: Benefits for speeding up the "return" of dried vegetables.
4: If glucose is not used, the shape and quality of vegetables will not be stable during processing at the manufacturing plant, and it will take "time and effort", and on the contrary, the price will be higher...
For this reason, I use it in small amounts.
And "glucose" is misunderstood by many people, but according to the "Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare Health Information Site for the Prevention of Lifestyle-related Diseases (e-Health Net)", it is described as follows.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A representative monosaccharide that is most abundant in nature. It is the energy for the activities of animals and plants.
It is the only substance that the brain can use as energy and is 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 glucose because it is found in grapes.
It is the most basic monosaccharide (the smallest unit of sugar) among sugars, and is combined with other monosaccharides such as fructose and galactose (or glucose) to form sucrose, lactose, starch, etc.
Carbohydrates ingested 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 levels are too low due to insulin abnormalities, such as diabetes.
It is the only substance that the brain can use for energy, except in special cases, and it is also an important nutrient for the human body.
It exists as blood sugar in the blood and is controlled by insulin. When the concentration of glucose in the blood rises, it is converted into triglycerides by the action of insulin, which is stored in fat cells. For this reason, consuming too much glucose can lead to obesity as a result, which is also related to lifestyle-related diseases.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As stated, "glucose is an important nutrient for the human body", and it is also used for this product "to make it easier to maintain the quality of this product".
[Frequently asked questions: (Q: The color has changed slightly, is it okay?] )】
A: Dried vegetables inevitably fade little by little over time.
However, as long as it is within the expiration date, there is no problem with the quality, so please rest assured.
[Frequently asked questions: (Q: There is a slight sweetness after returning it with hot water, but it can't be helped?] )】
A: Since a small amount of glucose is used, there are individual differences, but there are people who are concerned about the slight sweetness.
If you feel a little sweet, please use this product after turning it back into hot water and then drain the hot water thoroughly.
[Frequently asked questions: (Q: Can I eat it as it is without returning it with hot water?] )】
A: Basically, we recommend that you return it to hot water to soften it before eating.
It depends on the purpose, but if you devise something such as crushing it with a food processor, it may be able to be used for a variety of purposes.
