USEFUL PROPERTIES OF DRIED CELERY ROOT

Dried celery root rich in vitamins and minerals such as: vitamin B2 - 11.1%, vitamin C - 16.7%, potassium - 110.4%, calcium - 54.2%, magnesium - 71%, phosphorus - 29%, iron - 22.2%

What are the benefits of dried celery root?

• Vitamin B2 participates in redox reactions, helps to increase the color sensitivity of the visual analyzer and dark adaptation. Insufficient intake of vitamin B2 is accompanied by impaired condition of the skin, mucous membranes, and impaired light and twilight vision.
• Vitamin C participates in redox reactions, the functioning of the immune system, and promotes the absorption of iron. Deficiency leads to loose and bleeding gums, nosebleeds due to increased permeability and fragility of blood capillaries.
• Potassium is the main intracellular ion that takes part in the regulation of water, acid and electrolyte balance, participates in the processes of conducting nerve impulses and regulating pressure.
• Calcium is the main component of our bones, acts as a regulator of the nervous system, and is involved in muscle contraction. Calcium deficiency leads to demineralization of the spine, pelvic bones and lower extremities, increasing the risk of developing osteoporosis.
• Magnesium participates in energy metabolism, synthesis of proteins, nucleic acids, has a stabilizing effect on membranes, and is necessary to maintain homeostasis of calcium, potassium and sodium. A lack of magnesium leads to hypomagnesemia, an increased risk of developing hypertension and heart disease.
• Phosphorus takes part in many physiological processes, including energy metabolism, regulates acid-base balance, is part of phospholipids, nucleotides and nucleic acids, and is necessary for the mineralization of bones and teeth. Deficiency leads to anorexia, anemia, and rickets.
• Iron is part of proteins of various functions, including enzymes. Participates in the transport of electrons and oxygen, ensures the occurrence of redox reactions and activation of peroxidation. Insufficient consumption leads to hypochromic anemia, myoglobin deficiency atony of skeletal muscles, increased fatigue, myocardiopathy, and atrophic gastritis.

You can see a complete directory of the most useful products in the appendix - a set of properties of a food product, the presence of which satisfies a person’s physiological needs for the necessary substances and energy.

Vitamins, organic substances required in small quantities in the diet of both humans and most vertebrates. Vitamin synthesis is usually carried out by plants, not animals. A person's daily requirement for vitamins is only a few milligrams or micrograms. Unlike inorganic substances, vitamins are destroyed by strong heat. Many vitamins are unstable and are “lost” during cooking or food processing.

The fragrant vegetable, which so pleasantly enriches the taste of many first, second courses and appetizers, can be prepared for future use to use the spice all year round. There are interesting recipes for pickling and pickling celery, but the easiest way to preserve the flavor and aroma properties and beneficial substances of the product is drying. At home, without any extra hassle, you can quickly dry both the leaves and the roots and stalks of celery. Here are some recommendations on how to do this.

How to dry celery leaves

Aromatic celery greens can be dried either in twigs or leaves, or in chopped form. To do this, you need to sort out the grass, eliminating limp and yellowed leaves. After this, the celery is washed in cool water. It is better to pour the liquid into a bowl than to use running water, this way the entire surface of the curly branches will be washed. Next, the bundle is laid out on paper towels and allowed to absorb excess moisture. If you decide to chop celery greens for harvesting, chop the leaves with a knife into fairly large pieces.

You can use the oven to dry. To do this, it is heated to 40 degrees, the greens are placed on a baking sheet lined with cooking paper, the door is left ajar so that the grass does not bake, and it dries out. Leaves should be checked every hour for readiness.

An electric dryer is also used. For processing greens, the device has a special mode - up to 40 degrees. The grass is placed on drying sheets and the process is monitored, periodically changing trays for uniform processing. The process will take 6-7 hours.

You can also air dry the leaves. The greens are hung in bunches with the crown down or distributed on a bed of clean cloth or paper in a thin layer. Place the litter in a ventilated place, possibly in a draft. Air flows will help quickly remove moisture from the leaves. Ideally, you should use gauze stretched at a height. By airing on both sides, the spice will dry faster. The greens need to be stirred periodically to ensure even drying. This method will take about 2 weeks.

It is important not to keep the herb in dust or near sources of strong odors so that this does not affect the quality of the spice. Also, do not use newspaper as bedding. Printing ink is very harmful to health and should not come into contact with food.

For quick processing, greens can be placed in the microwave. You need to keep the leaves in the chamber for about 2 minutes and check for readiness. The procedure may need to be repeated.

How to dry celery root at home

In order for the spice to dry correctly and retain its vitamins, you need to choose a temperature of up to 60 degrees, distribute the product evenly among the sheets and periodically stir or turn over. The oven door is left open to allow air circulation, otherwise the vegetable will bake in its own juices.

During drying, the root is not salted or other seasonings are used. Drying time can take about 10-12 hours, this will depend on the size of the slices. Thinly sliced ​​celery will dry out quickly and will keep for a long time. Thick slices may not dry out from the inside. This product may rot and have to be thrown away, so be careful.
