Introduction: Every summer, a variety of fresh vegetables in the market are presented, and the colorful colors and attractive appearance are mouth-watering. However, just as we were preparing to enjoy this vegetable harvest season, a sensational phrase spread among the markets: "When June comes, don't buy these '4' vegetables, if you eat them without nutrition, it will hurt your body, and the vegetable sellers themselves will never eat them!" "It begs the question: which four vegetables are they, and are they really so scary?
In order to restore the truth, we must clarify these myths about vegetables based on facts. After all, vegetables, as an integral part of our daily diet, are essential for health and nutrition.
The first vegetable: bracken is an ancient and unique vegetable that usually grows in humid mountain and forested areas. It is rich in nutritional value, containing vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, fiber and minerals such as potassium, iron and magnesium. Bracken is not only delicious, but it is also believed to help improve digestive system function, promote blood circulation, and boost immunity.
However, some people claim that bracken is an inedible vegetable, possibly because of the natural toxin it contains called keedrin. Keloid is found in fresh bracken, but with proper treatment and cooking, it can effectively remove most of the toxicity. A common treatment is to boil the bracken or blanch it in boiling water before cooking.
As a traditional ingredient, bracken is widely eaten in many places, and there are many unique ways to cook it. It can be used to make soups, cold dressings, stir-fry and other dishes, giving dishes a unique taste and flavor. While it may contain natural toxins, with proper handling and cooking, it can be ensured that it is safe to eat. For the average person, moderate consumption of bracken is a supplement to a rich diet, but for some specific groups of people, it should be consumed with caution according to individual circumstances.
The second vegetable: beans Carob is one of the most common green vegetables in summer and is rich in protein, vitamins, and fiber. However, there are rumors that beans are not suitable for consumption because it may contain oxalic acid. In fact, beans with high oxalic acid content will decrease during heating, and the intake under normal cooking methods will not cause significant effects on human health. Proper handling and adequate cooking of the beans before cooking will ensure their safety and nutrition.
The third vegetable: lettuce Lettuce is a vegetable rich in vitamin K, vitamin C, and fiber, which helps maintain cardiovascular health. However, some claim that lettuce lacks nutrients because it is considered "more water than nutrients." In fact, lettuce is rich in nutrients but does contain high levels of water. This does not mean that it lacks nutrients, but provides water and fiber, which are good for good health. Therefore, lettuce is a healthy vegetable worth eating.
Radishes
The fourth vegetable: radish Radish is a common root vegetable rich in vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants. However, there are rumors that radish is an unedible vegetable, and even the greengrocers themselves do not eat it. The root of this statement may be that some people don't like the taste and smell of radishes very much. However, in fact, radishes have several health benefits. It helps boost digestion, provides vitamin C to boost immunity, and has anti-cancer and cholesterol-lowering effects. As long as you choose fresh, damage-free radishes and handle them properly during cooking, such as boiling, sautéing, or raw food, radishes can be an important part of a balanced diet.
