One definition of ultraprocessed that I heard was the sort of food that needs specialised industrial processes and / or ingredients to create - something you couldn't really prepare in your kitchen.
- skirmish 2y agoSo, any cheese or wine would be ultraprocessed according to that definition?
- adwi 2y agoNo snark, just a great life tip: - put unpasteurized milk in a saucepan - bring it to slow simmer (~180F) - add a splash of an acid (lemon, white vinegar, etc) and remove from heat - skim and collect the curd that forms on top. This is fresh ricotta and it will make you very happy.
- ufo 2y agoCheese & wine count as processed, but not as ultraprocessed. Kraft singles and other highly processed "cheese" are ultraprocessed. The main rule of thumb is to look at how long the ingredient list is.
- bryanlarsen 2y agoVery fine white flour is pretty easy to make in your kitchen with the right tools and is an ultra-processed food. Coarse ground brown flour is processed, but not ultra-processed.
- ufo 2y agoWhite flour is a processed ingredient, not ultra-processed.
- bryanlarsen 2y agoThat depends on which definition of ultra-processed you use. It's a product highly engineered for palatability. It's also surprisingly modern -- traditional flours are far more coarsely ground.
