Taboos in eating yam

1. Do not eat yam with carp and kansui, as they are in conflict with each other.

2. Do not eat yam and kansui together; nor take them with alkaline drugs.

3. Yams and pork liver. Yams are rich in vitamin C, and pig liver contains trace elements of copper, iron, zinc and other metals. Vitamin C will accelerate oxidation and destruction when exposed to metal ions, reducing the nutritional value. Therefore, you should not eat yams after eating pig liver.

4. Yams and cucumbers, pumpkins, carrots, and winter squash. Cucumbers, pumpkins, carrots, and winter squash all contain vitamin C-degrading enzymes. If yams are eaten together, vitamin C will be broken down and destroyed.

5. Yams and seafood. In addition to calcium, iron, phosphorus, iodine and other minerals, general seafood (including fish, shrimp and algae) is also rich in protein. Fruits such as hawthorn and pomegranate contain tannic acid. If they are mixed and eaten, they will be synthesized into tannic acid protein. This substance has an astringent effect, can cause constipation, increase the absorption of intestinal poisons, and cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.
