What tends to run short in the Japanese diet is dietary fiber and minerals, so dried vegetables are very helpful for supplementing them.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"_6\">Nutrient Retention Data by Vegetable<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"_7\">Spinach,<\/h3>\n\n<h3 id=\"_8\">cabbage<\/h3>\n\n<h3 id=\"_9\">Carrot<\/h3>\n\n<p>Carrot\u2019s \u03b2-carotene is inherently highly stable, and most of it remains even after drying.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"_10\">How the drying method affects the finished product<\/h2>\n<p>The way nutrients remain also changes by drying method.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Freeze-drying excels at retaining color and aroma<\/strong>. However, it costs more than hot-air drying. For everyday use, the more cost-balanced <strong>hot-air drying or low-temperature drying is recommended<\/strong>, contained in burdock and cocoa.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"3\">Three tips for making good use of dried vegetables<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"1-c\">Tip 1: Supplement the Easily Depleted Vitamin C Separately<\/h3>\n<p>Since it\u2019s hard to get enough vitamin C from dried vegetables alone, <strong>combining them with fruit or salad<\/strong> is ideal. The best positioning for dried vegetables is strictly as a \u201cboost against vegetable shortage.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2\">Tip 2: Use the Soaking Liquid Too<\/h3>\n<p>The liquid from rehydrating in water or hot water has water-soluble vitamins and minerals dissolved into it. <strong>Adding them to miso soup or soup and drinking the soaking liquid too<\/strong> is the way to take in nutrients with the least waste.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3_1\">Tip 3: A Daily \u201cLittle Extra\u201d Bit by Bit<\/h3>\n<p>Rather than eating a lot at once, <strong>the habit of adding a pinch to your daily miso soup or soup<\/strong> is easier to keep using and lets you include vegetables without strain.<\/p>\n<!-- internal-link: \u4e7e\u71e5\u91ce\u83dc\u306e\u7a2e\u985e\u307e\u3068\u3081 -->\n\n<h2 id=\"_11\">FAQ<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"q1\">Q1: Can dried vegetables replace fresh vegetables?<\/h3>\n<p>They\u2019re not a complete substitute, but they\u2019re plenty effective as a supplementary means against vegetable shortage. For dietary fiber and mineral supplementation in particular, dried vegetables can be expected to be about as effective as fresh. Supplement vitamin C with fruit or a fresh salad.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"q2\">Q2: Is it true that drying concentrates the nutrients?<\/h3>\n<p>It's true. Because the water has been removed, dried vegetables are more concentrated when compared at the same weight. However, in terms of the amount you actually eat after rehydrating, they aren't very different from fresh vegetables.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"q3\">Q3: Which dried vegetables are nutritionally recommended?<\/h3>\n<p>Carrots, spinach, and kiriboshi daikon add color and texture and are easy to use in miso soup. Rotating them in your miso soup lets you get nutrients without getting bored.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"q4\">Q4: Do dried vegetables\u2019 nutrients decrease further with cooking?<\/h3>\n<p>Some is lost, but with about as much heating as a bowl of miso soup, it is hardly worth worrying about. Avoid long simmering and add it just before serving for a vivid finish.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"q5\">Q5: Do commercial dried vegetables contain additives?<\/h3>\n<p>It depends on the product, but good-quality dried vegetables have vegetables as their only ingredient. Agriture\u2019s dried vegetables are committed to <strong>additive-free, 100% domestic ingredients<\/strong>. When buying, check the ingredient label and choose ones with no additives other than vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recommended reading<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/sustainable\/\">Sustainable initiatives<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/oem\/\">Commercial dried vegetables<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/product\/\">Product lineup<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/sustainable\/dried-veggie-recipes\/\">10 dried-vegetable recipes | from miso soup to side dishes, solving vegetable shortage in a hurry<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/sustainable\/miura-daikon-guide\/\">A Complete Guide to the Features of Miura Daikon!
