1. Can red-heart sugarcane be eaten?
Red-heart sugarcane can't be eaten. Sugarcane has a high fiber content. Therefore, the decay of this fruit is different from that of apples, pears and other fruits. It is not local decay, but permeates along the fiber. Red hearts are the earliest symptoms of sugarcane deterioration. Therefore, sugar cane is not suitable for eating when red hearts appear.
2. What will happen if you eat red-heart sugarcane?
The red-heart sugarcane is the initial symptom of sugarcane rot. This kind of sugarcane already contains a certain amount of substances such as 3- nitropropionic acid and Arthrosporus, which are toxic. Because the human body has a certain detoxification energy, the intake of this toxin is generally less than .5g, and when you eat red-heart sugarcane, you will deliberately not eat the middle red-heart part, which reduces the intake of toxin. This is also the reason why some people have not been poisoned by eating red heart sugarcane, but the damage of these toxins to the liver is real, and poisoning will also occur if they are eaten in large quantities or for a long time, and the liver function damage will be more serious.
3. Poisoning
Generally, there are three symptoms of red-heart sugarcane poisoning:
Mild poisoning: the patient develops symptoms such as vomiting, nausea and abdominal pain within 2 to 3 hours.
Moderate poisoning: The patient's gastrointestinal symptoms are aggravated, with paroxysmal convulsions and unconsciousness. After recovery, there may be sequelae such as language, consciousness and motor disorders.
Severe poisoning: Patients mainly have deep coma and status epilepticus, often have hematuria, often die of respiratory failure, or leave serious neurological sequelae.
4. What should I do if I eat red-heart sugarcane poisoning?
At present, there is no good specific medicine for this kind of red-heart sugarcane poisoning in medicine, mainly because the molds infected by sugarcane are different and the toxins are different, and no medicine can play the role of spectral detoxification. Therefore, sugarcane poisoning is mainly based on physical therapy, such as gastric lavage, enema and other means to remove the toxins in the body as soon as possible, and to treat the symptoms of the body in a targeted manner. Therefore, sugarcane poisoning needs timely medical treatment.
5. Can red-heart sugarcane be eaten without red hearts?
It is not recommended to eat red-heart sugarcane with red hearts cut off. In daily life, sugar cane with red hearts is generally eaten. If the red silk in the center is less, if the red heart is cut off, others can also be eaten. However, the red heart of sugar cane is a manifestation of mildew, and the normal pulp around it also contains a certain amount of toxins. This kind of sugar cane is best not to be eaten, especially for people with poor gastrointestinal and liver functions, which is prone to poisoning symptoms.
6. How to keep sugar cane without red hearts
1. Sugar cane can't be kept for too long, and it is also a fruit. Therefore, it also has the characteristics of fruit and can't be stored for a long time. Generally, sugar cane is harvested in autumn and eaten in winter, so it can't be eaten before and after Qingming Festival for two years. There is a saying among the people that "Qingming sugarcane is poisoned by snakes".
2. It's best for a family to eat one cane, and peeled or traumatized sugarcane can't be stored for too long, so it is easy to be infected by fungi. After all, sugarcane is an ideal fungus culture medium, and it is easy to be red.
3. Sugarcane should be stored in a dark and dry place. There are many molds in wet places, which are easy to infect and cause sugarcane corruption.
7. Efficacy of sugarcane
1. Supplementing heat energy. Sugarcane is rich in carbohydrates, which can supplement sufficient heat energy for the body and has a good effect on preventing hypoglycemia.
2. Promote fluid production to quench thirst. Sugarcane has high water content and contains a variety of organic acids, which can cool off summer heat and eliminate fatigue.
3. Inhibit tumor. According to the research, bagasse contains polysaccharide (mainly composed of five-carbon sugar and six-carbon sugar) which has inhibitory effect on Ehrlich cancer and sarcoma in mice.
