◆ announcer Lee Hyun-woong (hereinafter Lee Hyun-woong): It's a life white paper time with the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. Today, we will learn about the proper intake and precautions of seasonal agricultural and marine products that can be easily accessed in autumn. I'm connecting with the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety Officer Jeong In-kwon. How are you, sir?
◇ Jeong In-kwon, Secretary of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (hereinafter referred to as Jeong In-kwon): Hello.
◆ Lee Hyun-woong: When I think of autumn's representative fruit, I think of apples. Many people think apples should be eaten in the morning and avoided in the evening, is that right?
◇Jeong In-kwon: Yes. To start with, apples are a good fruit whenever you eat breakfast and dinner. However, many people think that eating apples in the morning is better than eating apples in the morning because sugar and vitamins supplement energy and are rich in dietary fiber, which can help bowel movements.
◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Is it true that apples are better absorbed and better for health when consumed with juice?
◇Jeong In-kwon: Yes. To tell you the conclusion, it is more nutritionally good to eat it as it is. Except for those who drink juice directly at home, most juices on the market go through a sterilization process for long-term distribution and storage. In this process, some nutrients that are weak to heat, such as vitamins, can be destroyed, so I can tell you that it is nutritionally excellent to eat it as it is.
◆ Lee Hyun-woong: One of the delicacies of the fall season is the yellow maple tree fruit. Ginkgo is eaten in rice, grilled, and eaten as a side dish. But I heard you shouldn't eat too much of these banks, right?
◇ Jeong In-kwon: Banks contain various nutrients such as flavonoids, which are perfect for autumn health care, but banks contain cyanide glycosides such as amigdalin and natural toxins called methylpyridoxin, so excessive consumption can cause vomiting and abdominal pain, and in severe cases, can lead to solidification of the body and seizures. Therefore, it is recommended to eat the bank cooked and eat less than 10 pills a day for adults and less than 3 pills a day for children.
◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Now, we're going to talk about seafood as well. When it comes to autumn seafood, you can't leave out the blue-backed fish 'samchi', but I heard there are things to be careful about when eating blue-backed fish such as mackerel.
◇ Jeong In-kwon: Among the blue-backed fish, carnivorous fish such as redfin tuna and mackerel feed on crustaceans such as small fish and shrimp, and whale roundworms called anisakis larvae can be parasitic in these fish. When we eat fish contaminated with whale roundworms, symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting may appear. Therefore, when you eat mackerel or mackerel, it is better to cook it well. In addition, blue-backed fish with low freshness contain a lot of histamine that causes allergies, which can lead to hives and abdominal pain after ingestion. In particular, it is important to purchase fresh products from the beginning because histamine does not remove even when heated.
◆Lee Hyun-woong: We can't leave out grilled prawns in autumn, but I heard there are things to be careful about when purchasing 'natural prawns'.
◇Jeong In-kwon: Yes. It is important to purchase 'natural prawns' and 'style white-legged shrimp' separately. In particular, the price of prawns is two to three times higher than that of white-legged shrimp, so some stores sell white-legged shrimp like natural prawns, and if you remember this, you can easily distinguish between "prawns" and "white-legged shrimp." First of all, the tail colors are different. The tail of the prawn has a green color, but the white-legged shrimp has a red color, so it can be easily distinguished by the color of the tail, and the beard of the prawn is two to three times longer than its own body, so it can be distinguished by the length of the beard. For reference, most shrimp alive in the tank are likely white-legged shrimp because they die within a few minutes of being caught due to their urgent nature.
◆ Lee Hyun-woong: Lastly, please briefly introduce what the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety is doing for the safety of agricultural and fishery products.
◇Jeong In-kwon: Yes. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety is conducting guidance checks on producers and collection and inspection in the distribution and sales stages so that Koreans can safely consume agricultural and marine products. From this November, we are also conducting intensive collection and inspection of raw oysters and gwamegi, which are somewhat expensive marine products in winter. We will continue to strive to provide safe agricultural and marine products to the people. Thank you.
◆ Lee Hyun-woong: I was Jeong In-kwon, the official of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. Thank you.
