有些食材还是远离水龙头的好

Many of us are taught that sudsing up is a good thing. We've been washing our hands since we were children. The more soap and the more thorough the scrub, the better! Often, it is important to wash off germs, but before you get too scrub-happy, there are a few foods that should avoid the kitchen sink during the prep phase.

我们中的许多人都被教导，泡肥皂水是一件好事。我们从小就洗手。用的肥皂越多，擦洗越彻底，效果越好!通常，洗掉细菌是很重要的，但是在你变得太高兴之前，有一些食物应该在准备阶段避免放在厨房的水槽里。

Before we get into what not to wash, let's discuss a few foods that should be washed even though many people likely assume it isn't necessary. Eat This, Not That states that even though we toss the peels, give your avocados and oranges a good rinse before eating. And pre-packaged foods like canned beans, boxed quinoa, and bagged rice should be washed before cooking to ensure the best preparation.

在我们讨论什么不该洗之前，让我们先讨论一些应该洗的食物，尽管很多人可能认为这没必要。《Eat This, Not That》表示即使我们扔掉果皮，在吃之前给你的鳄梨和橙子好好冲洗一下。预包装食品，如罐装豆类、盒装奎奴亚藜和袋装大米等食品应该在烹饪前清洗，以确保最好的准备工作。

Washing foods before cooking is a great hygienic practice. That being said, there are a few foods that shouldn't be subjected to rinsing.

烹饪前清洗食物是一种很好的卫生习惯。话虽如此，还是有一些食物不应该被冲洗。

First up is raw chicken. Eric Sieden, director of nutrition and food services for Glen Cove, Plainview, and Syosset Hospitals in New York, tells Reader's Digest that "By washing raw chicken in the sink, you are likely to spread the bacteria all over your kitchen, including clean surfaces like countertops, through splashing and dripping." And just like raw chicken, you should keep the raw red meat away from the sink. "The added moisture during washing will create steam that will also affect taste," Sieden warns.

首先是生鸡肉。纽约Glen Cove、Plainview和Syosset医院的营养和食品服务总监Eric Sieden告诉《读者文摘》：“在水槽中清洗生鸡肉，你很可能会通过溅水和滴水将细菌传播到厨房各处，包括台面等干净的表面。”就像生鸡肉一样，你应该让生红肉远离水槽。西登警告说：“洗涤过程中增加的水分会产生蒸汽，也会影响味道。”。

Chicken and red meat aren't the only foods that shouldn't get a rinse. Conor O'Flynn, operations manager of O'Flynn Medical, explains to Best Life that washing eggs "may actively aid the transfer of harmful bacteria like salmonella from the outside of the egg to the inside of the egg."

鸡肉和红肉不是唯一不应该清洗的食物。O'Flynn Medical的运营经理Conor O'Flynn向Best Life解释说，清洗鸡蛋“可能会积极帮助有害细菌(如沙门氏菌)从鸡蛋外部转移到鸡蛋内部。”

So there you have it. Fruit, veggies, and prepackaged food can stand for a good scrub before eating. But in order to keep harmful bacteria from spreading onto your countertops, and into your food, keep your raw chicken, red meat, and eggs away from your faucet.

好了。水果、蔬菜和预包装的食物可以在吃之前好好擦洗一下。但为了防止有害细菌扩散到台面进入食物，还是让生鸡肉、红肉和鸡蛋远离水龙头吧。
