Black fungus is rich in iron and regular consumption can nourish the blood, improve complexion, and prevent iron-deficiency anemia. However, if black fungus is improperly paired, it can have adverse effects on the body and damage our health. So, what are the dietary taboos of black fungus? Let's explain in detail...
Radish:
Radish is slightly cold in nature and has effects such as clearing heat and detoxifying, strengthening the stomach and aiding digestion, resolving phlegm and stopping cough, regulating qi and promoting bowel movements, promoting fluid production to quench thirst, and tonifying the middle and benefiting the stomach. However, it should be noted that eating radish with black fungus can easily cause allergic dermatitis in some people with special sensitive constitutions. For the sake of health, it is best not to mix these two foods.
Ophiopogon japonicus:
Ophiopogon japonicus has effects such as strengthening the heart, promoting urination, and antibacterial. It is mainly used for treating syndromes like damage to body fluids by febrile diseases, vexation, thirst, a dry throat, dry cough due to lung-heat, hemoptysis from tuberculosis, and sore throat. But you should be aware that black fungus and ophiopogon japonicus are mutually antagonistic. Eating them together can cause chest tightness. Therefore, these two foods should not be eaten together.
Wild duck:
Wild duck is sweet in taste and cool in nature. Eating it with black fungus can easily lead to indigestion.
Tea:
Black fungus and tea are mutually antagonistic. Black fungus is rich in iron, and when consumed with tea, which is rich in tannic acid, it reduces the body's absorption of iron.
River snail:
Black fungus is sweet and neutral in nature. In addition to containing protein, fat, vitamins, and mineral elements (calcium, iron, phosphorus), it also contains nutrients such as phospholipids, sterols, and vegetable gum. These lipids and gums have adverse reactions with some bioactive substances in river snails. In terms of food properties, the cold nature of river snail, when combined with the slippery nature of black fungus, is not conducive to digestion. Therefore, the two are not suitable to be eaten together.
