1. Did you enjoy this lab? Why or why not?
I enjoyed this lab because it helped me practice using the claw while cutting the vegetables and it also allowed me to see the process of making and rolling the salad rolls like they do in restaurants.
2. What reasonable thing would you do to alter this recipe to keep it healthy or make it healthier? What nutritional value would this add to the recipe?
If i was to add something to this recipe to keep it healthy, I would add broccoli because it has a similar taste to the cucumber and carrots so it would blend in well, as well as it has many nutritional values and is rich in antioxidants. Broccoli would add an excellent source of vitamins and minerals.
3. What exactly does deep frying do to our food? Why does it become unhealthy? What, if any, nutrients are added that are not great for us?
When food is placed in the hot oil, rapid surface heating takes place. This leads to a quick change in the form of the surface proteins, which in turn allows only a limited flow of water from the product being deep fried. It then becomes unhealthy due to the fats in the oil that it is being fried in. Calories, saturated fats and trans fats are added when you deep fry food.
