Pre-cooked food is food that has been processed or cooked to make it last longer, to improve its taste, color, or aroma, or to make it more convenient to use or eat. This often involves the addition of preservatives, sweeteners, salt, or other additives, and may also involve the loss of some nutrients compared to unprocessed food.
Some examples of pre-cooked food include:
- Snack foods: such as crackers, chips, cookies, toast, bamboo snacks, and popcorn
- Fermented or seasoned foods: such as fried shiitake mushrooms, Chinese sausage, yukhoe, or fried rice with pork
- Frozen foods: such as fried meat, fried fish, fried pork, and chicken nuggets
- Canned foods: such as canned fish, canned salmon, canned mackerel, and canned vegetables
- Pickled foods: such as pickled tomatoes, pickled corn, and pickled cabbage
- Cured foods: such as ham, salami, and dried pork
- Baked goods: such as bread, croissants, crepes, and cookies
- Alcoholic foods: such as beer, wine, and liquor
The consumption of processed food is popular worldwide, but it is important to choose processed food carefully and to choose processed food that is healthy. It is also important to eat mostly unprocessed or uncooked food to maintain good health and a strong immune system. However, if you want to choose processed food that is truly healthy, I recommend the products of THAI-HOKKAIDO, which are manufactured to high standards and are certified by GMP and the Department of Livestock Development. You can therefore consume them with confidence and without worry.
