Precautions for eating durian
Although durian has many benefits, there are many precautions for eating durian, and the right use is better than three chickens, and the wrong use may have a bad impact on the body.
1. Durian should not be eaten more at a time, because it is rich in nutrients, and eating too much can easily affect the transport function of the spleen and stomach, resulting in phlegm dampness, dampness and heat endogenous, so it is recommended not to eat more than 1 durian a day.
2. Durian is hot, yin deficiency and internal heat, spleen and stomach dampness and heat are not suitable.
3. Because wine and durian are both hot things, they should not be eaten at the same time.
4. Patients with diabetes, kidney disease and hyperlipidemia should not eat. Durian is high in calories and sugars, so obese people should eat less.
5. The elderly and patients with chronic respiratory diseases should eat less and eat slowly, because the flesh of durian is viscous, which is easy to block the throat and trachea and cause suffocation.
6. If you accidentally eat too much durian, resulting in dry mouth and bitter mouth, yellow and smelly urine, abdominal distension and constipation, you can eat the fruit queen mangosteen to dissolve, mangosteen and even cold things, which can restrain the heat of durian. Only the Fruit Queen can submit to the King of Fruits. In addition, if you don't have mangosteen, you can also use durian shell + salt water to decoction, or boil some kelp mung bean soup to drink.
7. The durian with natural cracks after maturity can not be stored for too long, when you smell the ripe durian with a smell of alcohol, it means that it has deteriorated and is not suitable for consumption.
How to choose "Gratitude Durian"?
Although durian is delicious, it also has to try luck. There is a university question about the selection of "Returning Gratitude Durian", please check the following set of durian selection strategies:
▧ Smell the smell
Smell it close to the bottom of the durian, if you smell alcohol, it means that the durian may have gone bad; If you smell something like freshly cut grass, it means that the durian is not ripe enough.
▧ Look at the appearance
Generally speaking, the fruit of the same variety of durian has large ripe fruits, and the color is relatively yellowish, light yellow or dark yellow; If the color is blue or green, it is not ripe enough.
▧ 捏尖刺
Pinch the tips of the two adjacent thorns with your hands and move inward, if you pinch easily, it indicates that the durian is ripe; If it is difficult to pinch or has a firm feel, it is not fully ripe.
▧ Look at the cracking
If there are some microscopic cracks on the top of the fruit, and a strong smell can be smelled, it means that the durian is highly ripe. Since it is not possible to confirm whether the flesh inside is contaminated, it is not recommended to choose durian with large cracks.
▧ Shake the pulp
Pick up the durian and shake it gently, if you feel a slight bump inside, or a slight sound, it means that the flesh is ripe and out of the shell, and vice versa.
