Are yellow-skinned fruits edible?
Under normal circumstances, yellow-skinned fruits can be consumed, but it is important to eat them in moderation. Detailed analysis is as follows:
Yellow-skinned fruit is a common type of fruit. Its pulp is plump and although it has a slightly bitter taste, it does not affect health or cause discomfort after consumption. Moreover, yellow-skinned fruit contains abundant pectin, vitamins, and selenium, and moderate consumption helps supplement essential nutrients in the body. It can also promote gastrointestinal motility, aiding digestion, relieving summer heat, and reducing internal heat (fire).
In traditional Chinese medicine, yellow-skinned fruit seeds also have certain medicinal value. The seeds can help relieve constipation, treat bites or stings from venomous insects, and alleviate coughing and phlegm symptoms. Chewing the seeds directly and swallowing them does not produce toxic or side effects. Moderate consumption will not irritate the gastrointestinal tract or cause adverse reactions such as abdominal pain or stomach bloating. However, due to the high sugar content in yellow-skinned fruit seeds, individuals with a heavy metabolic burden from glucose should avoid consuming them.
Although yellow-skinned fruit is nutritious, excessive consumption should be avoided as it may increase the burden on the gastrointestinal system.
