Although the autumn crab is fat, it needs to be eaten sparingly

Autumn winds, crab yellow fat, crab eating the best season is autumn
.
However, crab is also a tricky delicacy, and if you are not careful, it may cause digestive symptoms
such as diarrhea and abdominal pain.
To eat crab comfortably, you should pay attention to the following aspects
.

■ 4 parts can not be eaten

There are 4 parts of crab that cannot be eaten: crab gills, crab hearts, crab stomachs, and crab intestines
.

Crab gills, the respiratory organs of crabs, should be removed
after opening the shell.

Crab heart After opening the crab shell, you will see the hexagonal flake in the middle of the crab body, which is the crab heart, which is connected with the crab paste, and most people will think that this is part of
the crab paste.

Crab stomach Hidden in the crab yellow, a triangular packet, the excrement in the crab stomach hides many bacteria and harmful substances
.

There is a clear black line in the crab yellow, that is, the crab intestine, which extends all the way to the position of the crab umbilicus in the crab's abdomen, which is the crab's excrement and is not edible
.

■ I cannot eat in both states

Do not eat dead crabs After the crab dies, the parasitic bacteria in the body will multiply and spread into the crab meat, so that the protein is broken down to produce histamine
.
The longer the crab dies, the more histamine accumulates in the body and the more toxic it becomes
.
Even if the dead crab is cooked thoroughly, the toxin is still not easily destroyed, which can cause symptoms
such as vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea in the eater.

Do not eat raw crab crab body contains a variety of pathogenic microorganisms, only with rice wine, liquor soaking can not kill it, eating raw crab is very easy to lead to parasitic diseases
.

■ "Xiangke" food is different from food

There are 3 kinds of food that are "compatible" with crabs and should not be eaten at the
same time.

Persimmon Crab meat is rich in protein, while persimmons contain a lot of tannic acid, and the two substances react and solidify into lumps that make it difficult for the stomach to digest
.
Therefore, if someone eats crab and persimmon, there will be nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms
.

Strong tea When eating crab and within an hour after eating crab, tea and persimmons, both contain tannic acid, easy to cause gastrointestinal discomfort
.

Cold beer Do not drink cold beer when eating crabs, crabs are cold, and then eat cold food, which will lead to diarrhea and gastrointestinal disorders
.
If gastrointestinal function declines, digestive enzymes do not work properly, and many allogeneic proteins and metabolites cannot be decomposed, it is easy to suffer from gout and allergic diseases
.

Finally, we should remind everyone that crabs are cold and should not eat more, and people with cold spleen and stomach should pay special attention to moderation
.
In addition, when making autumn crab, perilla and ginger can be appropriately added to accompany the food, both of which are spicy and warm ingredients, which have the effect
of relieving the cold of the crab.
