Pelmeni are a popular semi-finished product that always comes in handy when you need to quickly prepare a hearty dinner.
But you can’t eat store-bought dumplings often, otherwise you can run into problems with your heart and blood vessels, diabetes, or excess weight.
This was stated by nutritionist Antonina Starodubova, writes “ Moscow 24 ”.
The doctor added in a conversation with journalists that many people like to add additional components to pelmeni, which only add calories to the meal. We are talking about oils, sauces and even mayonnaise.
If a person is healthy, then his diet can include a standard portion of dumplings - up to 250 grams. But it is necessary to try to make the treat more useful.
It is best to prepare the dish at home rather than replace it with a store-bought analogue.
For cooking, you should use whole grain flour, and choose minced meat from turkey or rabbit. You can also add greens and vegetables.
The cooking process should also be given attention. The semi-finished product should be boiled or baked without additional fats. Also, no additional sauces should be used.
