As the saying goes: 'Fish without garlic, cattle without chives, meat without ginger' what does it mean? An article for you

China is vast and rich in resources, especially in terms of diet. Different regions have their own dietary characteristics. Basically, a variety of foods that fly in the sky, swim in the water, and with some treatment, have become a lingering food on the tip of the tongue.

Over time, thousands of years of food culture have accumulated various experiences and methods in eating, especially in terms of taboos and attention. I don't know if you have heard the saying: fish is not garlic, cow is not leek, meat is not ginger. What does it mean? Is there any basis?

As the saying goes: fish without garlic, beef without chives, meat without ginger, what does it mean? An article has the answer for you.

【Fish without garlic】

When many people see it, their first reaction is that they can't add garlic when cooking fish.

I believe that many people in life like to eat fish. Most of the crude oil is because the fish is tender and nutritious, especially when the protein is used as soup, the taste is more delicious.

Although garlic is a condiment for daily cooking materials, it has the effect of increasing flavor and freshness, but because of its strong garlic taste, if you add garlic when cooking fish, it is easy to cover up the deliciousness of the fish itself, so it is best to cook fish. Don't put garlic.

Nowadays, more and more fish are eaten, such as boiled fish, braised fish or grilled fish, which are loved by the public, and there are more and more seasonings at home. Although garlic is an irreplaceable condiment, it is more delicious especially when fried due to its special smell.

So now many people will add garlic appropriately to improve the color and aroma when cooking, that is to say, fish is not such a statement now, and it has been gradually eliminated. When we cook ingredients, many foods can amplify garlic.

From a Chinese medicine perspective, beef and leeks are hair. If eaten together, it is easy to cause physical discomfort. Also, when sautéing leeks, leeks cook faster, but beef does take a long time.

If the two foods are linked together, it will affect the taste of the whole ingredients, and the unique taste of leeks will also increase, which can be said to be a failed dish.

Now we have more and more recipes like roast beef and goulash. Common toppings are potatoes or tomatoes, which are delicious. However, if leeks are paired with other foods, such as scrambled eggs with leeks or leeks dumplings, they are basically not cooked on their own.

So cattle are not leeks, even now people are following this sentence, and they will not combine the two.

【Meat without ginger】

Most people disagree with this statement, like when we make braised pork with ginger.

So why did people in the past say no meat? In fact, this should start with the pork itself. In the past, pork basically ate our leftovers, growing slowly and having good meat.

But now we eat healthy pork without any complicated steps to make delicious dishes. If we add ginger when cooking pork, it will mask the taste of the pork itself, so we used to eat pork without ginger.

It is not necessary now, many people still like to eat ginger, mainly because pigs grow up on feed, the growth time is short, and the smell of pork is completely lacking. Many people will put pork in boiling water, and then put ginger to help remove the smell of blood.

In addition, ginger is also used when cooking pork, because ginger is a condiment and needs to be added when cooking. However, it is recommended not to put too much when frying the pork, because the ginger is spicy, which will affect the original tender taste of the pork.

Some foods cannot be eaten together.

Seafood + persimmon.

Many people know that persimmons cannot be eaten on an empty stomach, let alone with seafood. If the two foods are combined without authorization, persimmon stones are prone to occur.

The reason why mixing the two ingredients together is discouraged is that persimmons contain a substance called tannin, which is a type of polyphenol. Under certain conditions, it binds to proteins, producing a water-insoluble precipitate. Too much lactic protein precipitation can form things like stones, what we call stones.

Beer + Seafood.

Beer and seafood are both high purine foods. Eating too much will increase the concentration of uric acid in the body and aggravate the symptoms of gout.

Some people even experience dizziness and headaches after eating beer or seafood, so for health, it is recommended not to put these two drinks together.

Spinach + Tofu.

Spinach contains oxalic acid, and the combination of calcium-containing elements in tofu is easy to form calcium oxalate, which is not conducive to the absorption and utilization of human body.

In addition, milk is also rich in calcium, which can only be bound to milk after it enters the gut. The same goes for drinking soy milk, for example. Therefore, avoid spinach when eating foods high in calcium. For health, it is best to eat small amounts.
