Can crabs be eaten with winter dates?

In coastal cities, crabs are a daily delicacy for residents and are cooked into a variety of delicious dishes and served on the table. Crabs are high in nutritional value and are a good choice whether steamed or braised. As a fruit with extremely high vitamin C content, winter jujube is also very beneficial for supplementing essential elements for the human body. What kind of chemical reaction will occur when crab and winter dates, two foods with different tastes but both very nutritious, are eaten together?

Can crabs and winter dates be eaten together?

No.

Crab meat contains a large amount of high-quality protein and biologically active substances, while winter dates are rich in vitamin C. The two will react chemically and reduce their nutritional value.

What can't be eaten with winter dates?

1. Winter dates cannot be eaten with seafood. Seafood such as shrimp, crab, and catfish contain pentavalent arsenic compounds. If they are eaten with fruits containing vitamin C, the arsenic will change into trivalent arsenic, which is like "arsenic trioxide" and is very harmful. Long-term consumption will produce toxins and lead to a decrease in the body's immunity.

2. Winter dates cannot be eaten with animal offal. Animal livers are rich in elements such as copper and iron. These metal ions can easily oxidize the vitamin C contained in other foods and cause it to lose its effectiveness.

3. Patients with stomach problems cannot eat winter dates. The dietary fiber content of winter jujube is relatively high, and consuming a large amount at one time can cause gastrointestinal discomfort. In addition, although the skin of winter jujube is thin, its edges are very sharp. If the gastric mucosa happens to be inflamed or ulcerated, it will aggravate the pain and discomfort.

4. It is best to eat less winter dates if you have a cold or cough. In the early stages of a cold, the wind-cold or wind-heat that invade the human body are at their peak. If you eat jujubes at this time, their sticky nature will often cause the evil to stagnate, resulting in "keeping the enemy inside the door", making it difficult to expel the disease in the body and not conducive to recovery.

Taboos of eating crabs

Crabs and tea cannot be consumed at the same time because tea will dilute gastric juice. Tea and persimmons contain more tannic acid, which will coagulate the protein in the crab meat and make it difficult to digest. The coagulated substance stays in the intestines for a long time and, after fermentation, can cause abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. Peanut kernels have a high fat content. Eating greasy foods with cold crabs can easily lead to diarrhea.

Cold water, ice cream and other cold foods can reduce gastrointestinal function and cannot be eaten with crabs.

Tomatoes should not be eaten with crabs, as both are cold foods and eating them together can easily cause diarrhea. Never eat foods that are incompatible with crabs.
