Orange Notes: 1, taboo:
? Oranges and milk should not be eaten together? There is no scientific basis
There's a saying? Milk is not suitable for oranges? The reason is:? Citrus fruit or juice contains organic acids, which can denature and solidify protein in milk, but it is difficult to absorb after protein denaturation. ?
Avoid eating oranges when taking medicine: oranges are rich in fruit acid and vitamin C. When taking vitamin K, sulfonamides, spironolactone, aminopterin and potassium supplements, you should avoid eating oranges.
Avoid making tea with fresh orange peel: most picked oranges are soaked in preservatives before going on the market. A preservative is a chemical preparation. The soaked orange has no effect on the pulp, but the residual preservatives on the orange peel are difficult to wash off with clear water. If such orange peel is soaked instead of drinking tea, it will be harmful to health.
Eating too many oranges causes stones: oranges have high water content and rich nutrition, and contain a lot of vitamin C, citric acid and glucose. Proper consumption can nourish the body, especially for patients with chronic hepatitis and hypertension. Eating oranges can improve the detoxification ability of the liver, accelerate the transformation of cholesterol and prevent arteriosclerosis. Proper consumption can increase appetite, but improper consumption is useless.
Eating too many oranges leads to getting angry: oranges are warm and easy to get angry, and there will be symptoms such as aphtha, dry mouth, dry throat and constipation. Because orange pulp contains certain organic acids, it is best not to eat oranges on an empty stomach, so as not to stimulate the gastric mucosa and cause discomfort.
The public simply understands it as a kind of fruit, but it is no exaggeration to say? All the treasures? Chinese medicine. The skin, core, collaterals and things of oranges can be used as medicine, but the diet is very particular. The following are some of the most common misunderstandings when eating oranges.
2. Wrong way to eat
Error 1:
When many people eat oranges, they like to tear off the white tendons outside the orange pulp. In fact, this way of eating has not made the best use of it. What is the white mesh network outside the orange pulp? Orange? Has the functions of dredging collaterals, resolving phlegm, promoting qi circulation and promoting blood circulation. It is not only a good food therapy for patients with chronic diseases such as chronic bronchitis and coronary heart disease, but also an auxiliary treatment for chest and rib pain caused by chronic cough.
Mistake 2:
Furthermore, after eating oranges, people often soak in water with orange peel and use fresh orange peel as dried tangerine peel to eliminate phlegm. They think that drinking fresh orange peel water often in autumn is of great benefit to health care and disease prevention. Actually, this is a misunderstanding. Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae has the functions of regulating qi, eliminating dampness and resolving phlegm, but it is not fresh orange peel, but is made from mature orange peel by sun drying or air drying. Fresh orange peel refers to the fresh peel when eating oranges. Fresh orange peel contains more volatile oil and does not have the medicinal effect of dried tangerine peel. Soaking fresh tangerine peel in water can not only give full play to its medicinal value, but also stimulate the stomach because of the strong smell of volatile oil. So, don't soak fresh orange peel in water at will.
Knowledge expansion of oranges: Selection: There are many kinds of oranges, with slightly different shapes, colors and market dates, but the picking methods are similar.
Take a look: size and color. Medium-sized oranges are the best, the skin is too thick and the sweetness is poor, and the small ones may not grow well enough and taste bad. The skin color of most oranges changes from green to yellow and finally to orange or orange-red, so the redder the color, the better the maturity and the sweeter the taste. However, it should be noted that oranges are picked before they are ripe, and the peel is turquoise, but the taste is not sour, and the red ones will be sweeter. Besides, look at the leaves on the orange stalks. The fresher the leaves, the better the oranges. Another way is to see if the tail of an orange is round, not a dot. Generally speaking, circles are sweeter.
The second touch: smooth. Most oranges with moderate sweet and sour skins are smooth and have fine oil cells.
Three pinches: test elasticity. Oranges with thin skin, thick flesh and plenty of water will have good elasticity. If you pinch it with your hands, you will feel that the pulp is firm but not hard. Once you let go, you will immediately bounce back to your original state.
