Dietary taboos of common vegetables

1. Tomatoes: avoid eating before meals

Eating tomatoes before meals easily increases stomach acid, and the eater may experience uncomfortable symptoms such as heartburn and abdominal pain. Eating tomatoes after meals, because the stomach acid has already mixed with food, lowers the acidity in the stomach and can avoid these symptoms.

2. Carrots: avoid eating with alcohol

American food experts found that if carrot juice rich in carotene is ingested together with alcohol, it can produce toxins in the liver and cause liver disease.

3. Shiitake mushrooms: avoid soaking excessively

Shiitake mushrooms are rich in ergosterol, a substance that turns into vitamin D after exposure to sunlight. If soaked in water or washed excessively, nutrients such as ergosterol will be lost.

4. Bean sprouts: must be stir-fried thoroughly

Bean sprouts are tender and delicious, and rich in nutrients, but they must be stir-fried thoroughly when eaten. Otherwise, because bean sprouts contain harmful substances such as trypsin inhibitors, eating them may cause adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and dizziness.

5. Bitter melon: must be blanched first

The oxalic acid contained in bitter melon can hinder the absorption of calcium in food. Therefore, before stir-frying bitter melon, it should first be blanched in boiling water, and after the oxalic acid is removed, then stir-fry the dish.

6. Sweet potato: cannot be eaten with persimmons

When the two come together, they form gastric persimmon stones, causing abdominal bloating, abdominal pain and vomiting, and in severe cases can lead to gastric bleeding and so on. It is also not suitable to eat with bananas.

7. Spinach: not suitable to eat with tofu

Eating spinach with tofu easily causes calcium deficiency, and of course it is also taboo to eat it with chives. Spinach and tofu soup is a traditional home-style soup dish among the people, deeply loved for its light and refreshing taste. However, modern medical research shows that spinach and tofu should not be eaten at the same time.

8. Eggplant: avoid eating during menstruation

Eggplant is cool and smooth in nature, so those with weak and cold spleen and stomach should not eat much of it, and women should also eat as little as possible before and after menstruation.

9. Taro: not suitable for people with allergies

The unique mucilage of taro can make the palms red, swollen and itchy, but the effective medicinal components are in the mucilage, so do not deliberately wash off the mucilage before cooking. However, people with an allergic constitution had better eat less.
