1, what are the nutritional values of hawthorn?
Hawthorn contains high calories, and contains a lot of carotene, calcium, carbohydrates, maslinic acid, pectin and so on.
The content of vitamins in hawthorn is extremely high, second only to jujube and kiwi fruit, and the content of carotene and calcium is high.
Hawthorn leaves contain flavonoids, which is 20 times of the fruit content.
2. What can't hawthorn eat with?
Pig liver. Hawthorn can't be eaten with pig liver, which will destroy vitamin C in the body. Hawthorn is rich in vitamin C, and pig liver contains trace metal elements such as copper, iron and zinc. When vitamin C meets metal ions, it will accelerate oxidation and destroy, reducing the nutritional value. Therefore, it is not suitable to eat hawthorn after eating pig liver.
Seafood fish, shrimp, crab, clam, octopus, clam, oyster and other seafood foods. Rich in protein and calcium, if eaten with fruits containing more tannic acid such as hawthorn, it will not only reduce the nutritional value of protein, but also easily combine iron in marine products with tannic acid, forming a new precipitate that is not easy to digest and be absorbed by the human body, causing discomfort, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Experts warn that you must not eat hawthorn immediately after eating seafood. If you want to eat it, you should eat it two hours apart.
Carrot. Hawthorn and carrot can't be eaten together. Carrots are rich in vitamin C-decomposing enzymes. If hawthorn rich in vitamin C is used with foods containing vitamin C-decomposing enzymes, vitamin C will be easily decomposed and destroyed. In addition, hawthorn can't be eaten with cucumber, pumpkin and bamboo shoots. Hawthorn is rich in vitamin C, while cucumber, pumpkin and bamboo shoots all contain vitamin C decomposing enzymes. Eating together can decompose and destroy vitamin C in hawthorn, thus losing its original nutritional value.
Duck. Duck and hawthorn are alike, both of which are cold and should not be eaten together.
Water shield Water shield (houttuynia cordata Thunb.) is similar to hawthorn, and both water shield and hawthorn are cold products, which are easy to hurt the spleen and stomach when eaten together.
3. What is the harm of eating too much hawthorn?
Eating too much hawthorn is easy to induce gastrointestinal diseases. Hawthorn can promote the secretion of digestive juice, but at the same time it can also stimulate the stomach. Eating too much will lead to stomach discomfort, and eating too much hawthorn for a long time will induce gastrointestinal diseases.
Eating too much hawthorn is easy to form stomach stones. Hawthorn also contains more tannic acid. Eating a lot of hawthorn will make more tannic acid enter the stomach. When it is mixed with gastric acid, pectin, food residue, etc., it is very easy to form a clump-like clot, which is the legendary stone. The more tannic acid you take, the bigger the stones will be. Eating hawthorn in large quantities for a long time will also make the stones bigger and bigger, which is the same as snowballing. Smaller stones in the stomach may be excreted, and larger stones must be treated with lithotripsy.
4. How to choose hawthorn.
1. When purchasing hawthorn, it is best to choose high-quality products with neat and regular fruit shape, no deformity, large and uniform fruit, fresh and red skin, luster, no shrinkage, no dry scars, insect eyes or trauma, and fresh sweet and sour taste.
2. The skin color is dark and dull, the surface is shriveled, there are insect eyes, dry scars or broken skin, and the pulp is hard or loose, indicating that the quality of this hawthorn is poor, so try not to buy it.
