Summer is here, and some vegetables that can only be eaten in summer are beginning to become available on the market, amaranth is one of them. Amaranth is a summer vegetable. It is soft and smooth with a strong flavor. It has a hint of sweetness and is tender and juicy. However, there are some things to be careful about when eating anything, and the same applies to eating amaranth. If amaranth is eaten with certain things, it may be harmful to the human body. Next, let’s take a look at whether lamb and amaranth can be paired together?

Foods that are incompatible with Amaranth:

1. Turtle meat

Turtle, scientific name is soft-shelled turtle. Amaranth tastes sweet and has a cold nature. Turtle meat is also cold in nature. Eating the two together is difficult to digest and may cause gastrointestinal stagnation.

2. Wasabi

Amaranth and wasabi cannot be eaten together. It is said that this is because the combination of the two will produce a toxin, which may cause harm to the body after eating and may cause food poisoning.

3. Spinach

The calcium content in amaranth is very high, while the oxalic acid content in spinach is high. If they are eaten together, oxalic acid will easily combine with calcium ions to form calcium oxalate precipitates, which will not only reduce the nutritional value of amaranth, but also easily form stones in the body.

Foods that are incompatible with mutton:

1. Avoid eating with vinegar: Sour vinegar has an astringent effect, which is not conducive to the growth of yang energy in the body. Eating it with mutton will greatly reduce its warming and tonic effect.

2. Avoid eating with watermelon: Chinese medicine believes that eating watermelon after eating mutton can easily "damage your vitality." This is because mutton is sweet and hot in nature, while watermelon is cold in nature and is a raw and cold food. Eating it not only greatly reduces the warming and tonic effect of mutton, but also harms the spleen and stomach. For patients with yang deficiency or spleen deficiency, it is very easy to cause spleen and stomach dysfunction. Therefore, it is not advisable to eat a lot of cold foods such as watermelon and cucumber after eating mutton.

3. Avoid eating with tea: tea is the "nemesis" of mutton. This is because mutton is rich in protein, while tea contains more tannic acid. Drinking tea while eating mutton will produce tannic acid protein, which will weaken intestinal peristalsis and reduce stool moisture, thereby inducing constipation.

4. Avoid eating mutton and pumpkin together: This is mainly because mutton and pumpkin are both warm foods. If they are eaten together, it is very easy to get "hot".

In order to prevent getting angry, you may add some cool food, such as adding some tofu when eating mutton hot pot. Who should not eat mutton? Not everyone can eat mutton.
