2. Five taboos for eating dates
(1) jujube peel
Jujube is a good tonic and nursed back to health. It can be eaten regularly, but it should not be overdone. Eating too much will cause problems such as hyperacidity and bloating. Moreover, the skin of jujube is difficult to digest, so you must chew slowly.
(2) Love teeth
The high sugar content of jujube is harmful to teeth. If you eat too many red dates but don't drink enough water, it's easy to get cavities. People who have already suffered from dental diseases should not eat dates.
(3) It is best not to eat red dates with cucumbers or radishes.
Radish contains ascorbase and cucumber contains vitamin decomposing enzyme, both of which may destroy vitamins in other foods.
(4) Don't eat red dates with animal livers.
Animal livers are rich in copper, iron and other elements, and copper and iron ions can easily oxidize vitamins contained in other foods and lose their efficacy.
(5) Don't eat red dates when taking antipyretics.
Taking antipyretic drugs and eating foods with high sugar content are easy to form insoluble complexes, which reduces the initial absorption rate of drugs. Jujube is a food with high sugar content, so it cannot be eaten with antipyretic drugs.
Winter jujube picking:
During the ripening process of winter jujube, nutrients are accumulated continuously, and the color of peel, pulp texture and color change accordingly. With different maturity, the good fruit rate during storage is significantly different.
When harvested at the crisp ripe stage (semi-red fruit), the peel of jujube fruit has thickened and hardened, and the fruit has bright color, crisp and juicy meat, sweet and sour taste, enhanced flavor and high sugar content, which can fully display the characteristics of fresh food species and prevent rotten fruit caused by over-ripening.
If it is harvested too early (around the white ripening stage), the skin of Dongzao jujube is bluish green, the meat is hard, the juice is less, the palatability is poor, the sugar content is low, the flavor is poor, the nutrient accumulation is less, but the respiratory metabolism is vigorous, and more nutrients are consumed. In addition, the surface protection tissue of jujube fruit is not well developed, the water retention capacity is poor, and it is easy to lose water and fade. If it can be harvested too late (after the mature period), the pulp of Dongzao jujube will lose its fresh flavor due to dehydration and softening, and the pericarp will thicken.
