Although carrots and white radishes have many benefits to the human body, they should not be eaten together. Why? This is determined by their different characteristics. Studies have shown that white radish has a good digestive function because it contains mustard oil, amylase and lignin, which can stimulate the vitality of macrophages and improve the immunity of the body after being absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. White radish also contains a variety of enzymes, which can eliminate carcinogens and play an anti-cancer role; The interferon inducer contained in white radish can stimulate gastrointestinal mucosa to produce interferon, which has the effects of antiviral infection and inhibiting tumor cell proliferation. The above enzymes, lignin and interferon inducers are not heat-resistant and will be destroyed at a high temperature of 70℃.

It can be seen that white radish is best eaten raw if it wants to give full play to its digestive and anticancer therapeutic effects. On the other hand, carrots are rich in β-carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A in human body. Vitamin A and β -carotene can promote the formation of photosensitive pigment in eyes, prevent night blindness, strengthen the color discrimination ability of eyes, and improve eye fatigue and dry eye. But carrots are eaten raw, and more than 70% of carotene cannot be absorbed. Researchers have shown through many experiments that there are two most scientific ways to eat carrots: one is to cut carrots into pieces for seasoning and stew them with meat, preferably in a pressure cooker, which can reduce the contact between carrots and air and make the preservation rate of carotene as high as 97%; Second, cut carrots into pieces and fry them with enough cooking oil, and the absorption and utilization rate of carotene can reach 90%.

It can be seen that the cooking method of carrot and white radish mixed with cold dishes or stewed together will lead to the reduction of the nutritional value of a radish. In addition, this cooking method will also lead to "civil war", because the content of vitamin C in white radish is very high, and carrot contains an enzyme that can fight against vitamin C, which can destroy vitamin C in white radish. When the two meet, the vitamin C in white radish is greatly lost, and its nutritional value is naturally greatly reduced.
