Zero Par - Beware of Vegetable Poisoning: Improper Eating Can Be Fatal

Some vegetables, if they mold, spoil, or are eaten inappropriately, can be harmful to the human body. Especially in summer, food is more likely to rot and spoil, so you should prevent food poisoning caused by lack of attention to diet. Therefore, beware of vegetable poisoning, as improper eating methods can be fatal. Below are some common examples of improper vegetable consumption and taboos:

1. Rotten ginger: After ginger rots, it produces safrole, which is highly toxic. Eating it can cause liver cell degeneration and damage, leading to toxic hepatitis. Therefore, fresh ginger should not be stored for a long time.

2. Moldy green beans: Moldy green beans contain saponin lectin, which strongly irritates the digestive tract after consumption, causing symptoms of gastroenteritis such as nausea and vomiting, and has a hemolytic effect on red blood cells. When cooking, make sure to thoroughly stir-fry them until they turn dark green and have no fishy smell before eating.
