It's often said that eating more vegetables and less meat is the best way to stay healthy and lose weight. But we must also be vigilant: beware of "wrongly eaten" vegetables. Kidney beans
Symptoms of poisoning: Generally occurs within half to 3 hours after consuming undercooked or improperly boiled kidney beans, and can last up to more than ten hours. Symptoms include discomfort in the upper abdomen, a burning sensation in the stomach, bloating, nausea, and vomiting.
Correct cooking and processing method: The saponin in kidney beans can be rendered non-toxic by heating at 100°C for more than 30 minutes. Therefore, kidney beans must be thoroughly cooked or stir-fried. It is recommended to stew them. If stir-frying, they must be blanched in boiling water first. Do not use high heat for quick stir-frying; never sacrifice crispness and save time. Daylily
Symptoms of poisoning: After eating fresh daylilies, symptoms can appear within 12 to 30 minutes, or in severe cases, 4 to 8 hours later. Main symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Severe poisoning can lead to death.
Correct cooking and processing method: The detoxification process for fresh daylilies is quite complex. Therefore, health departments recommend eating dried daylilies and not fresh ones. If processing fresh daylilies, they cannot be stir-fried directly. They must be boiled in boiling water until thoroughly cooked and soft, then the water should be squeezed out, and they should be rinsed several times with clean water before stir-frying. Sprouted potatoes and green tomatoes
