What can't be eaten with perilla leaves?

In ancient China, many people regarded perilla leaves as a medicinal material, but in Japan and South Korea, perilla leaves are usually eaten with barbecue. Therefore, perilla leaves are very popular both in China and abroad. Now, perilla leaves are not only a traditional Chinese medicine, but have become a common food. Let's take a look at what perilla leaves should not be eaten with?

1. Cannot be eaten with crabs

When using perilla leaves as a traditional Chinese medicine, people with weak constitutions cannot eat them. Perilla leaves themselves have the effect of sweating and fever, so they are usually used with ginger as a medicinal material. Crabs themselves are cold foods, so eating perilla leaves and crabs together is extremely deadly for people with weak constitutions! Therefore, perilla leaves and some seafood such as crabs cannot be eaten together.

2. Cannot be eaten with crucian carp

Perilla leaves are now used as a side dish in many barbecues and grilled meats. Although they are delicious, it should be noted that perilla leaves cannot be eaten with crucian carp. Eating perilla leaves and crucian carp together will produce toxins, which is fatal to people with weak bodies. Therefore, under normal circumstances, perilla leaves and crucian carp should never be eaten together.

3. Do not eat with raw fish

In Japan, many people like to eat raw fish, and shiso leaves are a common dish in Japanese cuisine. However, shiso leaves and raw fish are often not eaten together, because shiso leaves are cold in nature, and sashimi is also cold in nature, so eating them together will cause diarrhea.
