1. Not suitable to eat with cucumbers at the same time
Because cucumbers contain a vitamin C decomposing enzyme that will destroy the vitamin C rich in other vegetables. Tomatoes are a typical vegetable rich in vitamin C. If eaten together, the vitamin C we get from tomatoes will be destroyed by the decomposing enzyme in cucumbers, and it will not achieve the effect of supplementing nutrition at all.
2. Not suitable for consumption when taking anticoagulant drugs such as heparin and coumarin
Tomatoes contain relatively more vitamin K. Vitamin K: Its main function is to catalyze the synthesis of prothrombin and thrombokinase in the liver. The minimum requirement for dogs is 30ug/kg body weight. When vitamin K is insufficient, the synthesis of prothrombin is limited, which prolongs coagulation time and causes subcutaneous and muscle bleeding.
3. Not suitable for consumption on an empty stomach
Tomatoes contain a large amount of soluble astringents and other ingredients, which react with gastric acid to form insoluble lumps. These hard lumps may block the pylorus, the exit of the stomach, causing discomfort symptoms such as bloating and pain in the gastrointestinal tract.
4. Not suitable to eat unripe tomatoes
Green tomatoes contain glycoalkaloids (solanine) in the form of needle-shaped crystals, which are very stable to alkali but can be hydrolyzed by acid. Therefore, eating unripe green tomatoes often causes discomfort, with mild cases feeling a bitter taste in the mouth and severe cases leading to poisoning. Especially when green tomatoes start to rot, their solanine will be destroyed. And when green tomatoes turn red, they no longer contain solanine.
5. Not suitable for consumption after prolonged heating and cooking
Prolonged heating and cooking will lose its original nutrition and flavor. Eating spoiled tomatoes can also lead to food poisoning.
6. Contraindicated for consumption when taking neostigmine or galantamine
Tomato is a very common food, but it plays a pivotal role in the treatment of diseases, so it is very important to pay attention to eating tomatoes.
