Precautions for eating tomatoes
It is not suitable for raw food, especially for women with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold and menstrual period. If you just take tomatoes as a fruit to supplement vitamin C, or clear away heat and relieve summer heat in midsummer, it is better to eat them raw.
Eating on an empty stomach is not advisable. When the stomach is empty, the secretion of gastric acid increases. Because some chemicals contained in tomatoes combine with gastric acid, it is easy to form water-insoluble lumps, which often cause abdominal pain, leading to stomach discomfort and flatulence.
Immature cyan tomatoes should not be eaten because they contain toxic solanine. Eating immature cyan tomatoes will make you feel bitter and overeating. In severe cases, it will lead to poisoning, dizziness, nausea, general malaise, vomiting and general fatigue, and even life-threatening in severe cases.
It is not suitable to heat at high temperature for a long time, because lycopene is easy to decompose when exposed to light, heat and oxygen, and loses its health care function. Therefore, long-term high-temperature heating should be avoided when cooking, usually 2~3 minutes.
