Nutrition Pursuit: The Plus and Minus of Vegetable Juice
Published Time:

With the popularization of household multi-functional blenders, many people make mixed vegetable juice or puree at home. Supermarkets also sell mixed vegetable juice and fruit and vegetable juice, claiming that they are "healthy foods containing rich and comprehensive vitamins," especially for feeding infants and young children, and the elderly and patients who cannot eat.
In pursuit of comprehensive nutrition, people often mix vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, and white radishes, which contain a large amount of vitamin C and vitamin A, to make vegetable puree. Will this really result in a richer content of vitamin C and vitamin A? From a nutritional point of view, their mixture is not "addition" but "subtraction."
Carrots, cucumbers, pumpkins, eggplants, and other vegetables contain an "anti-thrombotic oxidase," or "vitamin decomposition enzyme," which can oxidize and decompose vitamin C. If the above vegetables are mixed into juice or puree, the vitamin content will become zero.
From a scientific point of view, eating mixed vegetable juice or puree is not as good as directly eating vegetables prepared as a cold dish. If you want to feed infants, the elderly, and patients with vegetable juice or puree, you should also make each vegetable into juice or puree separately and feed them separately.
