Many people understand that shashlik is not considered a healthy food because it is fried.

But even this dish can be made as safe for health as possible during the cooking process.

It is no secret that fried meat contains many carcinogens, and the most dangerous component is benzapriene, which is formed when shashlik fat comes into contact with coals.

After this, the substance, along with the smoke, settles on the meat.

But if you make a marinade based on wine, beer or tea, it will help reduce the amount of carcinogens in the meat.

Poultry and fish are digested faster. It is better to add vegetables and greens to meat.
