Why can't mutton and pumpkin be eaten at the same time?

According to China ancient books, pumpkin and mutton are difficult to digest together, which will lead to chest tightness and abdominal distension. Compendium of Materia Medica: "Pumpkins cannot be eaten with mutton, which makes people angry." The reason is that pumpkin can make up for moderate coke, while mutton can make up for deficiency heat, which will lead to chest tightness and abdominal distension. ? But from the point of view of modern nutrition, pumpkin and mutton are a good match.

Mutton is rich in protein, minerals and vitamins. Pumpkin is rich in nutrients, especially high in carotene and sugar, but low in protein and fat. Regular consumption can effectively prevent and treat hypertension, diabetes and liver diseases, and improve human immunity.

Here, I especially recommend jiaozi stuffed with mutton and pumpkin to friends who don't like mutton stuffing in jiaozi. After such collocation, the mutton flavor in the dumpling stuffing is completely absorbed by the unique fragrance of pumpkin, and the taste is extremely delicious, which is suitable for the frail elderly, children and patients with chronic diseases.

Mutton is warm, and it is easy to get angry if you eat it often. Therefore, when eating mutton, it must be accompanied by cool and sweet vegetables, which can play a role in cooling, detoxifying and removing fire. Generally, cold vegetables include white gourd, loofah, spinach, Chinese cabbage, Flammulina velutipes, mushrooms, water bamboo shoots and so on.

Extended data:

Chinese medicine believes that mutton is sweet but not greasy, and it has the effects of tonifying kidney and strengthening yang, warming middle warmer and dispelling cold, warming qi and blood, appetizing and strengthening spleen. It can be used as a dietotherapy for people with kidney yang deficiency, soreness of waist and knees, abdominal cold pain and fatigue.

Mutton is best served with tofu, which can not only supplement a variety of trace elements, but also play the role of clearing away heat and purging fire, removing annoyance and quenching thirst. Mutton and radish can make a dish, which can give full play to the coolness of radish, eliminate stagnation, resolve phlegm and clear heat.
