I remember when I was a child, as long as I was a picky eater at the dinner table, I would be scolded by my mother, and when I grew up, I realized that I was not willful when I was a child, but that some foods were really hard to eat!
Of course, if someone hates it, someone will like it, but the following five kinds of vegetables are recognized as the most unpalatable vegetables in the country, and most people can't stand it.
The first: bitter melon
Just listening to this name, there are many people who are persuaded to quit, especially children, after all, some people like sour, some people like sweet, but no one likes bitter, imagine that when we were children, the most difficult medicine we swallowed was bitter, and we couldn't drink it at all, so how could we like to eat bitter vegetables?
As the name suggests, bitter gourd vegetables really have a bitter taste in the mouth, and ordinary people can't stand it, so as long as the most unpalatable vegetables are mentioned, bitter gourd is definitely the first to run.
Not only is the name itself unpleasant, but the appearance is also uncomfortable, especially for people with dense phobias, who really can't see a little, and the appearance is pitted, as if there are dense pimples on the face.
Next is to talk about the taste of bitter gourd, in the eyes of most people, food should be delicious, but bitter gourd has no taste, it is as bitter as medicine, who would like to eat it?
Not to mention that children are picky eaters, even many adults can't eat such bitter vegetables, but since bitter gourd exists, there must be a reason for its existence. The appearance and taste of bitter gourd are not good, but its nutritional value is not comparable to that of many vegetables.
I believe that many people have heard a word, that is, bitter medicine, bitter gourd in the prevention of diseases, but has a certain value, can clear heat, don't look difficult to swallow, but if you encounter hot weather, eat a bite of bitter gourd, the whole person will be much more comfortable.
However, bitter gourd also has a time when it is not bitter, and the bitterness inside it can actually be removed, as long as it is just cut, soak it in warm water or boiling water, the bitterness will be reduced a lot, you can try it.
The second: coriander
If there is a vegetable that people love and hate, then coriander must be on the list, why do you say that? Just in recent years, there has been a big PK of people who eat coriander and those who don't eat coriander.
For people who love to eat coriander, whether it is spicy tang or hot pot dipping sauce, or even eating home-cooked noodles and stir-fried vegetables, they must enlarge a handful of coriander, in their opinion, if they don't eat coriander, the fragrance will be reduced by half.
But for those who don't eat coriander, if you add coriander to the meal, the meal is not good, a few coriander is enough to ruin a seemingly delicious meal, which some people don't understand, coriander is not as bitter as bitter gourd, and the taste is not very strong, how can anyone hate it so much?
This is also from the taste of coriander, don't look at the name of coriander has the word "fragrant", which makes people feel that coriander tastes fragrant and special rice, but in fact, there is a substance called aldehydes in coriander, which not only does not smell fragrant, but also has a very pungent smell, perhaps most people do not understand, coriander contains more than 40 kinds of compounds, of which 82% are aldehydes and 17% are alcohols.
The reason why coriander has a strong taste is because a large number of aldehydes are released, and the poisonous gas of the bug we hate the most, there are also the same aldehydes as coriander, so many people are not used to eating coriander, maybe they hate bed bugs, right?
The third type: folded ear root
For a long time, the root of the folded ear is a very controversial vegetable, people who like to eat love it miserably, no matter what they eat, they like to add some to it, but people who don't like to eat want to vomit when they smell it.
This is because the taste of folded ear root is very fishy, although it is the same root and stem food as lotus root, but it has a fishy smell of meat, when we usually eat meat, we have long been Xi to fishy smell, but if such a fishy smell appears on vegetables, does it feel very strange?
And everyone hates the root of the ear is not only the taste, the main reason also comes from a saying, that is, eating too much will cause cancer, on the Internet, there are a lot of similar rumors about the root of the ear.
There is also a name for the root of the folded ear, that is, Houttuynia cordata, there are many claims on the Internet that Houttuynia cordata will cause cancer, once Shanghai Jiaotong University did an experiment, after injecting aristolochic acid into mice, it will trigger liver cancer, which increases the prevalence of liver cancer, and Houttuynia cordata contains aristolochic acid, but then there are experiments to prove that the truly toxic aristolochlomb-I. does not exist in the vegetable of the root of the folded ear.
Although the controversy of folding the ear root is so big, but it also has a high nutritional value, now young people live and eat irregular, and like to eat greasy and spicy things, after a long time, it will be infected with moisture, and the folding ear root will help you get rid of the moisture in the body, it seems that although some things are unpalatable, but they do have the meaning of existence.
Fourth: toon
Maybe you haven't heard of toon dishes, but you must know the toon tree, in many areas, people have the Xi habit of planting toon trees, toon smells too fragrant, whenever spring comes, the fragrance of the toon tree can confuse people, but when it comes to eating, some people Xi are not used to it.
The taste of toon vegetables is not very heavy, but it is very unique, not the fishy smell of folding ear roots, and there is no bitter taste of bitter gourd, but some people are not used to eating it, eating more toon vegetables also has many benefits for the body, don't look at it is not meat food, but it can aphrodisiac and solidify essence.
Don't think that the value of toon vegetables is only for men, women eat more toon vegetables, there are also certain benefits, toon vegetables contain a lot of sex hormone substances, for those infertile people, toon is very friendly.
Fifth: okra
In this list, is it a little strange to see the name of okra? Some people must want to ask, okra has a beautiful appearance, looks very textured, and is definitely the "lady" of the vegetable world, and the taste is not sour or bitter, it can be mixed cold or fried, why is it hated by so many people?
In fact, the taste of okra is really not too bad, but the taste of okra is really unique, take a bite, you think it is crunchy, but the next second, you immediately feel sticky and slippery, and even feel that you can slide down directly without chewing a few bites.
This is also the taste that many people don't like, in the vegetable world, there are few foods that have such a sticky taste, which is also the reason why okra is hated, maybe many people don't know, the mucus that everyone hates, actually has a big effect.
Not only can it moisten the intestines, but also reduce cholesterol, on weekdays, I am used to eating and drinking, most of the food I eat is greasy food, cholesterol will inevitably increase, at this time eat some light okra, just to go to the greasy stomach, and the mucus that everyone hates, can also protect the throat, no wonder so many parents force their children to eat okra!
These are the five most unpalatable vegetables, but the food that you want to vomit when you smell it in your eyes may be an indispensable delicacy on someone else's table, since there must be a meaning and value of existence, don't ignore their nutritional value, and don't waste food.
