Lotus root cannot be eaten with animal liver.

Animal liver is an organ for metabolism and filtration of animals, which mainly contains trace elements such as protein, iron and zinc, and a small amount of vitamins and other nutrients. Generally speaking, the trace element iron has the highest content in animal liver, and generally exists widely in the form of heme iron. The human body has a very high digestion and absorption rate of this substance, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of iron deficiency anemia. Another very important nutrient in animal liver is vitamin A, which can only be found in animal liver. One of the most important functions of this substance is to protect the eyes. But if you eat it with lotus root, the cellulose in lotus root will hinder the body's absorption of iron.
