What should pig's blood not be consumed with?
Disease description:
Recently, I wanted to eat pig's blood, but I was worried that eating it indiscriminately might affect the absorption of its nutrients. I don't know whether certain foods can be consumed together with pig's blood, so I became concerned and would like to ask: what should not be eaten together with pig's blood?

Dr. Shen Yonghua
Pig blood contains abundant iron, protein, and vitamins. Foods that should not be consumed with pig blood include:
1. Avoid eating with high-calcium foods: The iron in pig blood may combine with calcium to form substances that are difficult to digest, affecting iron absorption. Therefore, it is recommended not to consume pig blood with calcium-rich foods such as milk and tofu at the same time.
2. Avoid eating with oxalic acid-rich foods: The calcium in pig blood may combine with oxalic acid to form insoluble calcium oxalate, which can affect calcium absorption and may even increase the risk of kidney stones. Foods rich in oxalic acid include spinach, beets, and nuts.
3. Allergic constitution: Some people may be allergic to pig blood, experiencing symptoms such as skin itching and difficulty breathing.
In addition, it is important to control the amount consumed to avoid health risks associated with excessive intake. When selecting ingredients, fresh and unpolluted products should be chosen whenever possible.
