Autumn with the joy of a good harvest is really here!
Searching social platforms, many Chengdu people have taken the lead
Organize groups to pick chestnuts
On social platforms, many people posted their harvest results. Ms. Huang, who lives in Hangzhou, took her child back to her hometown in Shangyu on October 1: "The child experienced beating chestnuts and peeling chestnuts for the first time, and harvested a large pot, and I was very excited." Ms. Huang said that it is still more dangerous to beat chestnuts, and she has been watching closely throughout the whole process. Always remind your child to stay away from the tree you are beating, and wait until the adult is done to pick it up.
Urgent reminders
Are wild chestnuts really safe?
According to previous reports, after eating it, Hangzhou Master Yang experienced symptoms such as abdominal distention, weakness, and nausea, and the liver enzyme index reached more than 1000, and there was a risk of progression to liver failure. The diagnosis showed that it was the consumption of wild chestnuts that was to blame. After the "wild chestnuts" that are not artificially planted and picked are dropped, they are easy to deteriorate because they are not stored properly, and a large amount of aflatoxin and other toxins will be produced, which can easily cause liver damage after eating.
Is it possible that as long as the chestnuts are fresh enough, wild chestnuts can be eaten as much as you like?
The answer is not so, one is that the chestnut trees that are easy to pick are mostly landscape trees, not wild, in order to ensure the normal growth of landscape trees, they are usually sprayed with potion, which has great potential safety hazards.
The second is that there is a plant horse chestnut, which is similar to the form of chestnut, but it is poisonous and inedible, and it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish it.
How to eat chestnuts healthily?
(1) Eat in moderation
Chestnuts have a high starch content, and if they are relatively large chestnuts, the starch content of eating about 10 seeds may be as much as a bowl of rice noodles. Moreover, chestnuts have a lot of dietary fiber, so it is difficult to be absorbed by eating too much at one time, and it is easy to feel bloated.
(2) Replace some staple foods
Due to the starchy and calorie-high content of chestnuts, if you eat chestnuts, you should pay attention to reducing the amount of staple foods you eat, or occasionally replace them with staple foods.
