Today, I mainly talk about the taboos of eating okra.
Taboos for eating okra
Usually, we eat okra directly as a vegetable, but because okra belongs to a cold food, when we eat okra staple food, we should try to choose some foods with calories, such as okra and hot staple food, so that the hot staple food can adjust the cold characteristics of okra well, thus avoiding the symptoms of spleen and stomach discomfort. For example, wheat and barley are all hot staple foods.
Autumn sunflower itself belongs to cold food, so when we eat autumn sunflower, we should try not to eat other cold vegetables, such as tomatoes, eggplant, spinach, cauliflower, wax gourd, sweet potato, etc. These vegetables belong to cold vegetables, and everyone should try to avoid eating them together.
When eating okra, try not to eat it with some cold meat, or eat it together, otherwise it will easily cause various adverse reactions such as diarrhea. High-temperature meat is mainly duck meat, fish meat and rabbit meat, including duck eggs. These are cold meat, so try not to eat them together.
Just like vegetables and meat, okra is not suitable for eating with cold fruits, otherwise it will easily lead to indigestion and diarrhea. Apples, oranges, mangoes and other fruits are cold fruits.
For patients with stones, you should never eat okra, because it is rich in oxalic acid, which is very good for friends with healthy stones, but friends with stones usually have stones because there are too many oxalic acid in their bodies. For friends with stones, you should be careful not to eat okra, especially in kidney calculi.
When choosing okra, we should try to choose a smaller one, not a bigger one like other foods, because if it grows too big, it is likely to get old, and there will be a lot of fibers in it, which will harden, become astringent and taste bad. The relative nutritional value of this kind of okra is also bad. The smaller the okra, the more tender it is, so everyone tries to choose the smaller okra.
Then, we can touch the surface of okra with our hands. There will be a fine layer of fluff on the surface of okra. People who have eaten it should know that this layer of fluff means that okra is very fresh. If it doesn't have this layer of fluff, it is likely that okra will be squeezed out, so it is recommended not to buy it.
When you buy okra, you can pinch it by hand to see how hard it is. If it is pinched hard, it means that there are too many fibers in this okra. This sign is old. If it is not hard, in this case, if it is fresh, try to choose the okra that is softer by hand.
When choosing okra, we can also choose to stroke it lightly with our nails, which is the same as many fruits, but if you stroke it lightly, you will feel a little juicy, which is definitely fresh, so you can buy it with confidence.
