【How to Pick Winter Melon】When selecting a winter melon, press it with your fingernail; choose ones with hard skin, dense flesh, and mature seeds that have turned yellowish-brown, as they taste better.【Jingchu's Warm Tip】: Winter melon is cooling in nature. Those with weak spleens and stomachs, cold kidneys, chronic diarrhea, or cold limbs due to yang deficiency should avoid eating it. Shrimp should not be eaten with certain fruits. Shrimp is rich in nutrients like protein and calcium. If eaten together with tannic acid-containing fruits such as grapes, pomegranates, hawthorns, and persimmons, it not only reduces the nutritional value of the protein, but the tannic acid also combines with calcium ions to form insoluble compounds that irritate the gastrointestinal tract, causing discomfort and symptoms like vomiting, dizziness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. There should be an interval of at least 2 hours between eating seafood and these fruits.
