Health quotes:

Eating vegetables in the morning is like reading Yuanming poems, they are fresh and juicy, and the tongue is full of flavor. ——"Zhizhi Zhai Ji"

After entering the hot summer, people's appetite has also decreased due to the high temperature. When some people face the fresh vegetables on the market, many people often choose to eat them raw, or mix some vegetables with them for cold salad. Although this increases people's appetite, do you know? Some vegetables cannot be eaten raw.

Nutritional research shows that nutrients such as vitamin C and vitamin B complex contained in vegetables are easily destroyed by processing and cooking. Eating them raw is beneficial to the preservation of nutrients. However, not every vegetable is suitable for eating raw. Some vegetables need to be blanched in boiling water before eating; some vegetables must be fried before eating.

Vegetables that can be eaten raw include radishes, tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, cabbage, etc. It is best to choose natural, pollution-free green vegetables when eating them raw. Some fresh vegetables can also be made with some vinegar, soy sauce and refined salt to make some cold dishes. However, some vegetables, such as bamboo shoots, broccoli, cauliflower and other vegetables, taste better after they are blanched, and the rich fiber in them is also easier to digest. Also, spinach, wild rice, etc., because they contain a lot of oxalic acid, these oxalic acids enter the intestines and combine with calcium to form calcium oxalate that is difficult to digest and absorb, blocking the absorption of calcium in the body. Therefore, it is best to blanch these vegetables in boiling water before cold salad, which can remove a large amount of oxalic acid in the vegetables. In addition, it is best to peel and wash lettuce, water chestnuts, etc. before eating them raw, and scald them with boiling water before eating. This is more healthy and hygienic and will not affect the taste and nutritional content.

There are also some vegetables that must be fried at high temperatures before they can be eaten. For example, potatoes, taro, yams, etc. that contain more starch must be cooked before eating, otherwise the starch in them will not be digested and absorbed by the human body. Bean sprouts should be fried and eaten. Even if they are served cold, they must be cooked first. In addition, beans contain a large amount of saponins and hemagglutinins. They must be fried before eating, otherwise the toxins will remain and easily lead to poisoning. In severe cases, it may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness and other symptoms. Warm reminder:

Some foods have different effects when eaten raw or cooked. For example, it is better to eat radish raw if it is more juicy and less spicy. However, carrots are cooling foods, so those with yin deficiency are better to eat them cooked. Some vegetables contain different nutrients when eaten raw or fried. For example, tomatoes contain lycopene, which can reduce the risk of prostate cancer and liver cancer. If you want to ingest it, you should fry it before eating it. But if you want to get vitamin C, eating it raw will be better, because vitamin C is easily lost during the cooking process. Teach you a trick:
