Precautions for eating tomatoes
Not suitable for raw food, especially for women with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold and during menstruation. If you only take tomatoes as fruit to supplement vitamin C, or clear summer heat in midsummer, it is better to eat them raw.
It is not advisable to eat on an empty stomach. When the stomach is empty, the amount of gastric acid secretion increases. Because some chemical substances contained in tomatoes combine with gastric acid, it is easy to form water-insoluble lumps, which often cause abdominal pain, resulting in stomach discomfort and flatulence.
It is not advisable to eat immature cyan tomatoes because they contain toxic solanine. Eating immature cyan tomatoes will make you feel bitter and overeat, which can seriously lead to poisoning, dizziness, nausea, general malaise, vomiting and general fatigue, and even life-threatening in serious cases.
It is not suitable to heat at high temperature for a long time, because lycopene is easy to decompose when exposed to light, heat and oxygen, and loses its health care function. Therefore, long-term high-temperature heating should be avoided when cooking, usually 2~3 minutes.
