Not suitable for eating with vinegar: sour vinegar has astringent effect, which is not conducive to the growth of yang in the body. Eating with mutton will greatly reduce its warming effect.
Not suitable for eating with pumpkins: According to ancient Chinese medicine, mutton is not suitable for eating with pumpkins. This is mainly because mutton and pumpkin are warm foods. If you eat together, it is easy to get angry. Similarly, when cooking mutton, you should also put less spicy condiments such as pepper, pepper, ginger, clove and fennel.
Avoid eating with watermelon: eating watermelon after eating mutton is easy to "hurt your vitality". This is because mutton is sweet and hot, while watermelon is cold and belongs to cold products. After eating, it not only greatly reduces the warming effect of mutton, but also hinders the spleen and stomach.
Avoid eating with tea: tea is the "nemesis" of mutton. This is because mutton is rich in protein and tea contains more tannic acid. Drinking tea while eating mutton will produce protein tannic acid, which will weaken the intestinal peristalsis and reduce the moisture in the stool, thus inducing constipation.
