Do you all know the eating methods and taboos of apricots? This knowledge is very helpful to us, please read it carefully.

Apricots should be eaten with caution

Don't eat too many apricots

As the saying goes, "Peach nourishes people, apricot hurts people, and people are buried under plum trees." Eating too many apricots can cause abdominal pain and diarrhea. It is recommended that adults eat no more than 10 apricots a day. Apricots should not be eaten with raw and wet foods (such as fatty pork, duck meat, etc.).

Eating almonds correctly can help quench thirst, moisten the lungs and relieve asthma, smooth the intestines and relieve constipation, and reduce intestinal cancer. There are many ways to cook almonds. They can be used to make porridge, cakes, bread and other types of food, and can also be paired with other condiments to make delicious dishes.

Apricots should not be eaten in large quantities

Although almonds have many medicinal and edible values, they cannot be eaten in large quantities. Almonds contain the toxic substance hydrocyanic acid (100 grams of bitter almonds decompose to release 100 to 250 mg of hydrocyanic acid. The lethal dose of hydrocyanic acid is 60 mg. The hydrocyanic acid content of sweet almonds is about one-third of that of bitter almonds). Overdose can cause poisoning. Therefore, before eating, they must be soaked in water several times and heated and boiled to reduce or even eliminate the toxic substances in them; pregnant women, young children, people with a hot constitution and diabetic patients should not eat apricots and their products.
