Eat fresh day lilies, haha. Day lilies should be eaten as dried products. It is best to eat less fresh day lilies because fresh day lilies contain colchicine, which is toxic to a certain extent. If not cooked properly, Or eating it in large quantities can cause food poisoning and damage the functions of the digestive system, nervous system and circulatory system

Let me copy something for you:

It is also true that fresh day lilies cannot be eaten. Yes, because the pollen of fresh daylilies contains a chemical component called colchicine. Colchicine itself is non-toxic, but after being eaten, it will be oxidized into highly toxic colchicine-like substances in the body. This substance can strongly stimulate the digestive tract. If an adult ingests 0.1 to 0.2 mg of colchicine (equivalent to 1 to 2 taels of fresh daylily) at one time, acute poisoning will occur, resulting in dry throat, thirst, and nausea. , vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms. In severe cases, bloody stools, hematuria or anuria may occur. If 20 mg of colchicine is ingested at one time, it can cause death.

Based on a rigorous scientific attitude, I copied some pathological scientific reports as follows:

(1) Gastrointestinal symptoms: abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting and loss of appetite are common early adverse effects. The incidence rate of reaction can reach 80%, and severe cases can cause symptoms such as dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Long-term users may develop severe hemorrhagic gastroenteritis or malabsorption syndrome.

(2) Muscle and peripheral neuropathy: proximal muscle weakness and/or increased serum creatine phosphokinase. Peripheral nerve axonal polyneuropathy may occur when muscle cells are damaged, manifesting as numbness, tingling, and weakness. Myoneuropathy is rare and often occurs in people who take it for a long time to prevent gout and those who have mild renal insufficiency.

(3) Bone marrow suppression: thrombocytopenia, neutrophil decline, and even aplastic anemia, sometimes life-threatening.

(4) Shock: manifested by oliguria, hematuria, convulsions and disturbance of consciousness. The mortality rate is high, more common in the elderly.

(5) Teratogenesis: According to the literature, the fathers of two cases of infants with syndrome were both fathers who had a history of long-term use of colchicine due to familial Mediterranean fever.

(6) Others: hair loss, rash, fever and liver damage, etc.

(7) Relevant experts believe that fresh daylilies contain colchicine, which can cause death if 20 mg is ingested at one time. Experts suggest that in order to prevent poisoning from fresh daylilies, do not eat too much at a time. They must be thoroughly boiled in boiling water before eating, and then soaked in clean water for more than two hours.

The opinions of experts must be reasonable. But I'm not an expert, I'm just a eater. What I know is that if fresh daylilies are "thoroughly" cooked, I'm afraid they have to be thrown away. As for eating less, I agree, at least it won't reach the "lethal dose of poisoning" in toxicology.

Let’s see how I deal with fresh daylilies.

(1) Peel off the beautiful coat of each daylily and remove all the stamens containing pollen. This process is a bit tedious, but it ensures that most of the colchicine is removed.

(2) Rinse all the day lilies with their stamens removed, and then soak them for 20 minutes (a longer time will definitely not hurt, but I have never been able to wait that long.)

(3 ) Fresh day lily is especially tender and crispy when fried, and has a great taste. The toppings can be whatever you want. If you are pursuing beauty, it is recommended to pair it with: A: Chive flowers, fresh red pepper. B: Black fungus or mushroom shreds, lean pork shreds.

In short: As long as the day lily is not simmered to the point of losing its color, it is very bright and attractive. If you deliberately create a slight color contrast, it will be very pleasing to the eye. Because the previous treatment has eliminated almost all of the colchicine, there is no need to treat it as poison, and do not fry it to a pulp
