Winter dates cannot be eaten with radishes and cucumbers.

Dongzao contains a variety of amino acids, vitamin C, vitamin P, vitamin A, and vitamin E needed by the human body, especially vitamin C. The content of vitamin C in every 100 grams of fresh dates can reach 200~ 500 mg. Eating a handful of fresh dates every day can meet the body's daily supply of vitamin C.

Raids contain ascorbate and cucumbers contain vitamin-decomposing enzymes, both of which may break down vitamins in other foods. Therefore, eating winter dates with radish and cucumber will affect the absorption of vitamins in winter dates.

Be aware of the following issues when eating fresh winter dates.

First, winter dates are rich in sugar, mainly glucose. If diabetic patients eat too much without restraint, it will cause blood sugar to rise rapidly and aggravate the condition.

Secondly, the decay of winter dates will cause microorganisms to multiply, allowing the fruit acid enzyme in the dates to continue to decompose pectin to produce pectic acid and methanol. Methanol can then be decomposed into formaldehyde and methanol. People who eat rotten dates will experience poisoning reactions such as dizziness and visual impairment, which can be life-threatening in severe cases.

Third, eating too much fresh winter dates can easily lead to indigestion and diarrhea. Therefore, people with colds and fevers caused by exogenous wind-heat, abdominal distension and gas stagnation, and chronic diarrhea should eat less.
