Although the canned islands are small in size or what is known as “BB Carot” it seems at first glance as a healthy and perfect option for fast food, the truth is completely different from what food companies promote.
Here are the reasons that may lead you to rethink before you put a bag from it in the shopping basket:
It is not a small island
Despite the name, what is sold as a small island is in fact a large island that has been cut and polished to look small and attractive. The real small islands are the islands whose growth has not yet been completed, its shape is irregular, and not perfect cylindrical.
Its taste is not similar to the taste of natural islands
Canned islands often lack the sweet and natural flavor of real islands. Its taste is closer to the taste of manufactured it to the taste of fresh vegetables. Try a simple comparison between him and fresh islands, and you will notice the difference immediately.
Wash with chlorine solution
Before packing, the small carrots are washed with a diluted chlorine solution for sterilization. Although the companies say that it is rinsed after that, the question remains: Do you want your light meal to be “bathed” with chlorine?!
Exposed to dehydration and rot
Because all its sides are cut off, the small islands are exposed to dryness quickly, which leads to the appearance of a white layer, then turns into a sticky mass inside the bag even before opening it.
The most expensive than the normal islands
On average, the small islands cost about $ 1.30 – 1.50 dollars per pound, compared to only one dollar for the whole islands. That is, you pay more for a processor, cut, and wash with chemicals.
