What should not be consumed with Potentilla anserina L. (Pienma)?
Disease description:
I really enjoy eating bracken ferns myself, and I usually like to eat them with carrots. However, a neighbor mentioned that bracken ferns shouldn't be consumed together with carrots, which made me somewhat doubtful. I would like to ask, what should not be eaten together with bracken ferns?

Below are some foods that are incompatible with Potentilla anserina (Fernleaf) or should not be consumed together:
1. Foods rich in tannic acid: such as persimmons, tea, etc. Tannic acid can combine with the proteins in Potentilla anserina to form substances that are difficult to digest, potentially causing indigestion or gastrointestinal discomfort.
2. High-calcium foods: such as milk, tofu, etc. Potentilla anserina contains a certain amount of oxalic acid, which can combine with calcium to form insoluble calcium oxalate. This not only affects calcium absorption but may also increase the risk of kidney stones.
3. Iron-rich foods: such as red meat, animal liver, etc. Phytic acid present in Potentilla anserina may interfere with iron absorption, which could be detrimental to individuals with iron-deficiency anemia and不利于 the improvement of their condition.
4. Chili peppers and spicy foods: Spicy foods like chili peppers can irritate the gastrointestinal tract, and consuming them together with Potentilla anserina may intensify this irritation, leading to discomfort. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid combining Potentilla anserina with spicy foods.
It should be noted that Potentilla anserina is not suitable for everyone. For example, individuals with phlegm-dampness conditions, food stagnation, or high blood sugar should avoid or use it with caution.
