Pickled Rainbow Salad (Hakusai Chigusa-zuke)
Pickled Rainbow Salad (Hakusai Chigusa-zuke)
This is a delicate, lightly salted raw salad in the Japanese ‘Tsukemono’ style and as such retains both fibre and enzymes beneficial for gastrointestinal health.
Enzymes in food are deactivated over 48°C, so it is beneficial for digestion to include some raw food in the diet. Tsukemono offer this advantage and also retain B and C vitamins that are daily required dietary constituents.
Cooking vegetables at high temperatures, for example boiling vegetables, may reduce their content of water soluble vitamins by up to 50%.
