About salinity

Salinity is indispensable for conducting human activities.

Salt is divided into purified salt and natural salt. Japanese people have been taking natural salt since ancient times, but after World War II, they began to take in human salt.

Purified salt contains only Enca sodium and does not contain minerals. There is no point in doing harm.

Natural salt includes seawater salt and rock salt, each of which has its own characteristics.

Rock salt is characterized by relatively low magnesium content compared to seawater salt.

Magnesium (a bitter component) has the effect of coagulating protein and may make the internal organs harder, but there is no problem if you do not take too much salt.

Natural salt brings out the flavor of the ingredients and also acts as a preservative.

Use olive oil

Olive oil is an ideal oil and fat composed of 68% of unsaturated fatty acids called omega 9, 22% of saturated fatty acids and 10% of omega 3 and omega 6.

It is a well-balanced oil that promotes effective work as an essential fatty acid in the body.

Why use

As mentioned above, there are merits and demerits, but the merit outweighs the value

Yin Yang Balance

The world consists of a balance between negative and positive. Moon and sun, root vegetables and leafy vegetables, sunny days and rainy days, etc.

　
Yin Yang of food

Negative foods have the power to thin and clean blood, while positive foods have the power to thicken and strengthen blood.

If you are negative, your blood will thin and your vitality will decrease. Conversely, a positive bias will cause the blood to solidify and cause dirt disease.

It is thought that you can lead a better life by keeping a balance close to the middle so that you are not biased to either side.

Japanese seasonings such as miso, soy sauce, and salt are positive. Sugar and vinegar have negative properties.

Loose the ingredients negatively to make the taste easier to put in, then tighten the positives to confine the taste and make the dish with a solid taste.

Local production for local consumption

The principle of local production for local consumption is to live a life that has eaten crops and fish and shellfish near the area where you live.

The implications of eating local products are that they are suitable for the climate.

By eating crops that are suitable for the local environment, people can live an environment-friendly life.

In the southern region, there are many foods that cool the body. On the other hand, in the northern region, there are many foods that warm the body, and fish and shellfish that meet the conditions of the near sea grow and gather.

In order to live according to the climate, we only eat the agricultural products and fish and shellfish that grow there.

Dietary fiber

Dietary fiber reaches the large intestine without being broken down by digestive enzymes in the small intestine, and promotes defecation and lowers blood sugar levels.

Dietary fiber has recently been featured in the media and is attracting attention, but originally the Japanese had been eating a dietary intake of the required amount.

It is said that as it was shifted to Western and katakana cuisine, intake decreased and gut-related illnesses increased.

Dietary fiber, which has been overlooked in terms of nutrients, actually played an important role.
