10 parts of fruits and vegetables that you cannot eat! Remember to avoid! Otherwise you will be poisoned!

Wanted: Cherry

Hiding place: Leaves and pits contain hydrocyanic acid

Cherry seeds can produce hydrocyanic acid if they are crushed, chewed, or even slightly damaged. Symptoms of mild poisoning include headache, dizziness, confusion, anxiety, panic and vomiting. Large amounts of hydrocyanic acid can cause breathing difficulties, high blood pressure, a rapid heart rate, and kidney failure.

Wanted: Apple

Hiding location: Fruit pits contain hydrocyanic acid

The pulp doesn't contain any toxic chemicals, but you'll find cyanide in the core of an apple. Although eating the entire core of an apple will not kill you, it is definitely bad for your health. Of course, if you eat too many apple cores (provided you chew and swallow them), there are possible complications.

Wanted: Beans

Hiding location: Toxins at both ends and sides

If it is not removed or cooked, it can easily cause adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and dizziness. The toxin content in undercooked beans that are cooked to 80℃ is actually higher, so the best way to eat beans is to pinch off the two ends and stew them over high heat. Make sure the water in the pot covers the beans, and cook for another 30 minutes after the water boils.

Wanted: Rootless Bean Sprouts

Hiding location: Rootless bean sprouts

Many families like to choose bean sprouts without fibrous roots, short and thick stems, and small top buds to eat, believing that such bean sprouts are tender and crisp, with less waste and quick cooking. However, experts warn that this kind of bean sprouts is highly toxic, has certain carcinogenicity, and poses a great threat to health.

Wanted: Fresh Daylily

Hiding place: Colchicine in the roots

Fresh golden needles are fresh daylilies. Colchicine is mainly found in its roots. After entering the human body, it produces toxic substances such as oxidized colchicine through oxidation, which destroys the ability of cells to divide, causing cell death, and causing gastrointestinal discomfort, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms similar to acute gastroenteritis, which are very easy to misdiagnose.

Wanted: Rapeseed

Hiding place: Many pesticide residues in the roots

When spraying pesticides, due to the effect of gravity, the pesticides will flow down the leaves and stems of the vegetables and gather at the roots. Because vegetable roots are close to the ground, the chance of pesticide decomposition is small, so pesticide residues are more stubborn. When eating rapeseed, it is best to cut off the roots close to the ground rather than cooking the whole plant just for the sake of appearance.

Wanted: Potato

Hiding place: The skin contains solanine

Potatoes contain solanine (also known as solanine), which is a weakly alkaline glycoside. This toxic substance is almost entirely concentrated in potato skins, especially those that have turned green or sprouted due to sun exposure. Solanine can irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa, paralyze the respiratory and motor centers of the brain, and also has a hemolytic effect. When solanine accumulates to a certain amount in the body, it may cause chronic poisoning.

Wanted: Leek

Hiding location: Leaves containing blue vitriol

When purchasing, please note that ordinary leeks are a dull grass green color and are straight and plump; blue alum leeks look shiny as if they were waxed, are unusually bright, and have faint blue spots.

Wanted: Tomato

Hiding location: Green tomatoes contain tomatine

Green tomatoes are not yet fully ripe, so the lycopene effect cannot be exerted. They are less nutritious and the tomatine they contain is more toxic. If people consume a large amount of tomatine in a short period of time, they may experience symptoms of poisoning. Therefore, it is recommended to choose fresh, red, naturally ripe tomatoes.

Wanted: Sweet Potato

Hiding place: Skin contains sweet potato ketone

The anti-cancer ingredients in sweet potato skin are very high, but because it grows underground and the skin is in direct contact with the soil, many harmful substances will accumulate in the sweet potato skin. Sweet potatoes are also easily infected with black spot bacteria, which manifests as brown and dark brown spots on the sweet potato skin.
