Taboos of eating tomatoes Which tomatoes cannot be eaten

Everyone is familiar with tomatoes , which are one of the common vegetables. However, sometimes they cannot be eaten casually. Let’s take a look at the introduction below!

1. Do not eat unripe tomatoes

Green tomatoes contain alkaloid glycosides (solanine) in the form of needle-shaped crystals, which are very stable to alkalinity but can be hydrolyzed by acid. Therefore, eating unripe green tomatoes often causes discomfort, which can be mildly bitter in the mouth or even poisoning in severe cases. In particular, when green tomatoes begin to rot, their solanine will be destroyed. When green tomatoes turn red, they no longer contain solanine.

2. Do not eat when taking anticoagulant drugs such as heparin and dicoumarol

Tomatoes contain more vitamin K. Vitamin K: Its main function is to catalyze the synthesis of prothrombin and thrombin in the liver. The minimum requirement for dogs is 30ug/kg body weight. When vitamin K is insufficient, the synthesis of prothrombin is restricted, which prolongs the coagulation time and causes subcutaneous and muscle bleeding.

3. Avoid consumption when taking neostigmine or galantamine

Tomatoes are a very common food, but they play a pivotal role in treating diseases, so you must be careful when eating tomatoes.
