Unfortunate fertilizers in small concentrations are harmless to the body. But having accumulated in excess, they can reduce immunity, disrupt metabolism and reduce the amount of vitamins in the products themselves..

Nitrate champions - lettuce, dill, parsley, green onions, radishes, cucumbers, cabbage, tomatoes, beets, carrots, zucchini and eggplant.

You can get rid of them as much as possible as follows:.

- wash vegetables thoroughly, and then cut off the bases of the fruits and cuttings - they accumulate the most unnecessary substances. Be sure to remove the green parts of potatoes and carrots. They contain a poisonous substance - solanine;

- before cooking, soak vegetables (especially leafy greens) for 15-20 minutes in cold water;

- peel as much as possible;

- boil, stew, bake.

This is one of the most effective ways to deal with nitrates.. But when cooking, the broth must be drained immediately after cooking, and then salt the food;

- add lemon or pomegranate juice to salads and cold dishes. This savory addition contains ascorbic acid, which can neutralize nitrate compounds.;

- eat fresh food. If you have not coped with the portion, it is worth storing the cooked food only in the refrigerator, and not more than a day..
