Extended data:

Avoid eating cucumbers.

1. Cucumber can't be eaten with peanuts.

This cold dish is served in many families and restaurants. But the collocation of cucumber and peanut is very unscientific. Cucumber is sweet, cold and often eaten raw, while peanuts are oily. Generally speaking, if cold food meets oil, it will increase its smoothness and may also lead to diarrhea, so it is not suitable for eating together. Especially friends with poor gastrointestinal function, it is best not to eat both, even if they eat together, it is best not to eat more.

2. Unclean cucumbers should not be eaten raw.

Cucumber should be eaten raw as fruit, not too much. Cucumber contains less vitamins, so you should eat some other fruits and vegetables while eating cucumber regularly. In addition, raw and unclean cucumbers are easy to be infected with bacteria and affect health. Cucumbers bought at farmers' markets are best soaked and peeled before eating.

3. It is not advisable to add alkali or cook with high heat before eating.

Edible alkali is not a common condiment, but a food loosening agent and a meat tenderizer. You don't need alkali to cook cucumbers. In addition, cucumber should not be heated at high temperature, which will make the taste worse and the nutritional value of cucumber will be reduced.
