Momos Are The Worst Street Food Ever. Here’s The Truth And It Will Make You Sad

We all love street foods and it has become a great part of our regular life. People love to relish the tasty food items on street stalls which attract them after having a hectic day at their work. On top of that, such food items don’t cost much so we consider them harmless unless they are not tasty.

We’ve also heard that street food is of bad quality and what more than our deteriorating health and fitness is the proof? But we are not here to talk about the whole street food and how it is bad. We are going to discuss why Momos among all the street foods is worst. Here are a few reasons-

1. Vegetables and chicken used in Momos is of really poor quality

Expecting quality from street food is the biggest foolishness but the veggies and chicken used in Momos is of really poor quality.

The vegetables are mostly stale, to say the least, and chicken products are highly unhygienic. The chicken at the cheap outlets test positive for E. coli bacteria, a powerful toxin that can cause severe illnesses.

2. Momos are made with bleached Maida

Maida is harmful to our health but we still have it without considering its side effects. Momos are further made of bleached Maida. It means that the starchy part of the grain after the removal of its fibrous bran is then bleached with chemicals like Azodicarbonamide, chlorine gas, benzoyl peroxide, or other bleaches.

This causes harm to the pancreas, affecting its insulin-production ability.

3. Momos may also contain faecal matter

Momos can give you diarrhoea, abdominal cramps, typhoid and even, food poisoning. A study by Institute of Hotel Management, Catering and Nutrition, Pusa, showed that Delhi street food especially samosas, golgappas, burgers and momos have faecal matter much beyond the permissible coliform levels (2400MPN against 50MPN).

4. Momo chutney is very spicy

We Indians love spices but Momo chutney is said to be made of unprocessed chilli powders. An overdose of such spicy foods can cause bleeding haemorrhoids or piles.

Now, after reading this how many of you will still have momos?
