Red mushroom is a nutritious edible fungus, but it should not be consumed with foods rich in tannic acid, such as persimmons and tea. Tannic acid can combine with the proteins in red mushroom to form substances that are difficult to digest, potentially causing gastrointestinal discomfort and even affecting nutrient absorption.
Moreover, red mushroom should not be eaten with crab, as both are rich in vitamin D. Excessive intake may accelerate calcium absorption and increase the risk of stone formation. At the same time, red mushroom also should not be consumed with tomatoes, because chemical components in both may react and reduce their nutritional value.
Red mushroom should also not be consumed with strongly spicy and stimulating foods, such as chili peppers and ginger. These types of foods may irritate the gastric mucosa, increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, especially for individuals with weaker gastrointestinal function.
Therefore, while enjoying red mushroom, one should also pay attention to avoiding consumption with certain foods simultaneously to ensure dietary safety and health. At the same time, understanding the nutritional components and compatibility contraindications of foods before consumption is helpful for better maintenance of health.
