Be cautious with 3 foods that can poison you

As familiar and nutritious foods, few people think that the following foods can seriously harm your health and "poison" you.

Potato

If you have eaten potato chips more than once, you should know that not all potatoes are safe for health. Especially when during the maintenance process, potatoes must be exposed to too much light, now a toxic chemical called solanine can grow and "poison" you by causing diarrhea to vomit vomit if you accidentally eat.

This symptom can last from 1-6 days and makes the patient completely exhausted. But fortunately, we can identify the signs of solanine by green areas under the skin of potatoes. Potatoes that are heavily exposed and have formed toxins can also develop small germs. Once you peel away all green areas and small sprouts, you can fully enjoy potatoes without having to worry about health problems.

Cassava (cassava)

Also known as cassava or cassava flour, cassava originates in South America and is the third most important source of calories in this tropical region. One concern is that cassava contains a lot of cyanide , a toxic substance.

When properly processed and preserved such as drying, cassava becomes harmless, but if you ignore any processing step in the processing of finished products, turn cassava into a dangerous poison.

Because of this dangerous nature, the process of processing food derived from cassava is strictly regulated and requires strict supervision. If not careful, the poison in cassava tubers can cause users to suffer from a paralysis syndrome called konzo with symptoms such as difficulty breathing, chest pain, diarrhea.

Beans

Soya beans contain poisons called Phytohaemagglutinin and, according to scientists, must be boiled for at least 10 minutes before they can be eaten without causing health problems.

One thing worth noting is that you have to make sure that the water is boiling for 10 minutes because if you cook beans at temperatures below 100 degrees Celsius, the toxicity of beans is multiplied. That means you should not stew the beans in the pot for long unless you have boiled them.

Symptoms of poisoning include bloating, indigestion, mild to severe nausea and vomiting. But luckily, in many cases these reactions go away and go away in a few hours. However, according to laboratory records, diet diets with 1% of cowpea died within two weeks.
