Extended data:
Day lily is cold, easy to have loose bowels, easy to lose appetite and other people with weak spleen and stomach are not suitable for long-term consumption. In addition, fresh day lily contains colchicine, which is highly toxic. After being absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract, it will be oxidized into "Diccolchicine" in the body, which has great toxicity.
If you really want to eat fresh day lily, you should first blanch it with boiling water. The toxic components of fresh day lily can be weakened or disappeared at a high temperature of 60℃, then soak it in clear water for more than two hours, remove it and wash it with water before frying it, so that colchicine can be destroyed.
