02 What kind of food should be brought to a picnic?

Picnic food can be divided into two types: ready-to-eat cold/hot food and convenient food that requires simple processing.

1. Staple foods

Bread, sandwiches, kimbap, steamed buns, snacks, biscuits, and instant noodles can be selected according to your own situation.

Boiled corn, steamed sweet potatoes, purple potatoes, pumpkins, taro, etc. are also used as staple foods.

2. Fruits

It is recommended to choose fruits with skin, such as oranges, bananas, kiwis, dragon fruits, mangosteens, apples and pears.

It is not recommended to bring berry fruits, such as strawberries, mulberries, etc., as they are easily contaminated and spoiled after being bumped. If you like to eat, you can choose bagged fruit puree, which is not only easy to carry, but also tastes very good.

Note:

Fruits should be eaten and cut now. It is not recommended to carry them after cutting them at home. Not to mention the problem of nutrient loss, the most important factor is the ambient temperature. Lunch boxes with temperatures above 20°C can easily deteriorate if left for several hours.

3. Vegetables

Vegetables that can be eaten raw, such as tomatoes and cucumbers, are the most convenient. Secondly, if you have the energy, you can make some cold dishes and braised vegetables, such as cold spinach, vermicelli and bean sprouts, braised lotus root slices, boiled edamame, etc. Of course, there are also self-heating foods that are very convenient and relatively safe. You can choose them according to your own situation.

IV. Meat and Eggs

You can choose from tender boiled eggs, tea eggs, braised pork, grilled chicken wings, and various canned foods. Relatively speaking, canned foods are safer. .

5. Nuts

Boiled peanuts, melon seeds, hazelnuts, pistachios, etc. Because most nuts have skins, pay attention to environmental hygiene and carry garbage bags with you for cleaning.

6. Beverages

It is recommended to choose mineral water, thermal kettle, sugar-free tea, coffee, room temperature milk, and moderate sugary drinks.

Note:

Because yogurt and cheese need to be refrigerated at low temperatures, it is recommended to buy them now and eat them now. If you carry them, you must put them in a refrigerated bag.

7. Snacks

Potato chips, shrimp crackers, popcorn, candied fruits... I won’t go into details about health issues. When buying food, you should read the ingredient list carefully. If there are Condiments such as salt, soy sauce, or too many unfamiliar ingredients are not suitable for babies.

In addition, pay attention to the intake, just moderate. Especially if it is given to children, it should be eaten after the main meal. Don’t let it go completely just because it is a picnic~

03 How to calculate the appropriate amount for a picnic Portion size?

Although picnics tend to have a big appetite due to the relaxed environment and large amount of activities, remember not to be too big-minded when carrying food. Often you bring too much and can’t eat it. Not only do you feel tired while carrying it, but you also have to carry it back. The family will also lose their appetite, causing a lot of waste.

Generally, for picnics, the per capita consumption of each type of food is estimated based on the type of food prepared, especially cold food and hot food that are not easy to preserve. It is not easy to have too much. Just prepare according to the normal amount of food for your family. For example, when making seaweed rolls, dad can usually eat one bowl of rice, and mother and baby can each eat half a bowl, so the amount of rice can be prepared as two bowls or one and a half bowls. If you also bring sandwiches, etc., then seaweed rolls The amount should be reduced accordingly. If you are worried that it is not enough, you can prepare more shelf-stable packaged foods.

04 What are some tips for keeping picnics fresh? What food safety issues need to be paid attention to?

The most important thing to pay attention to during a picnic is food safety. Pay attention to food hygiene and prevent food contamination. Do not eat raw, rotten and undercooked food. Wash and disinfect fruits and other raw and cold foods. It is best to Implement a "meal-sharing system".

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's dietary advice to tourists is a simple sentence: "Cook it? boil it? peel it or forget it." This sentence represents an important principle of travel diet.

The cold food you make yourself should be packed in an insulated bag/incubator/milk bag with thermal insulation effect. At the same time, remember to put a few ice bags around to keep the temperature at 0-4 degrees Celsius as much as possible. When making hot food yourself, you must choose a stew pot/insulated lunch box with good thermal insulation effect to keep the food temperature above 60 degrees Celsius as much as possible. At the same time, the storage time in the lunch box should not exceed 6 hours.

05 Regarding picnic equipment, what environmentally friendly and healthy tableware should be used?

It is recommended that you do not choose disposable lunch boxes that are not environmentally friendly. You can buy some lunch boxes with good sealing. The materials include silicone, stainless steel, resin and PP, etc., which are all safe and can not only be carried out, but also used in daily life. It can also be used as a dispensing vessel at home. Household chopsticks, spoons, forks, knives, etc. can be carried in food bags.

06 How to choose a picnic spot?

Now is the period of the epidemic, so gathering less is the most basic requirement. If you choose a park, be sure to inquire in advance whether picnics are allowed at the place. And based on my recent observations, there are a lot of people in parks of all sizes, so you need to take good protection, wear a mask, and keep a distance of more than two meters from the people around you when eating.

When dining, choose a suitable location and avoid decorative partitions, stairwells or places with hard objects around to facilitate children's play and provide a relatively safe environment for children.

In addition, protective measures should be taken before meals. If possible, let the child sit in a special dining chair for babies, fasten the seat belt, and carefully check the dining chair and tableware to ensure their safety.

When eating, do not place hot soup, hot porridge, water cups, etc. within the reach of children to prevent them from knocking over and getting burned if they reach out and grab them. Chopsticks, toothpicks, etc. should also be kept away from children to avoid accidents. Tips for taking a picnic with children 2
