10 toxic foods in your kitchen that can make your children sick

Surely you love cooking shows where chefs have to cook with exotic ingredients that no one knows about. I am fascinated and my daughters love to try everything rare on the menu of their favorite restaurants. The truth is that we love to pretend that we are part of the production team of a travel program and we always ask for recommendations. But be careful, because many foods can have many toxins and create health problems in your family. In this gallery, I am going to show you what those ingredients are so you can learn how to prevent stomach poisoning.

You probably eat a lot of the ingredients in this gallery, but it's good to know why you have to be careful with them and how to prepare them. Look and let your friends know.

1/10

Nutmeg

This spice is good to use sporadically during Christmas or on special dates but not for everyday use. It contains an ingredient called myristicin that is bad for the body as it causes hallucinations, vomiting, and diarrhea.

2/10

Apple seeds

The skin of the apple and the flesh of the apple is good for health but not the seeds. The seeds contain an ingredient called amygdalin that is converted to hydrogen cyanide. This causes serious problems in the body so spit out the seed.

3/10

Ripe potatoes

Potatoes are delicious, but when they are ripening and turning green they should not be eaten. That green in the potato means that the food is producing solanine which can cause paralysis in the body.

4/10

Quinoa

Before you yell at me I tell you that I agree with you, quinoa is excellent for the body while you wash it. Many people (myself included) forget to wash it before consuming it and this is a problem because it is full of saponins.

5/10

Rhubarb

This vegetable is usually used in the delicious dessert or pie that bears the same name. It is delicious because it tastes like raspberries but not so sweet. What very few people know is that the leaves are not edible because they have a lot of oxalates which is bad for the digestive system and the pancreas.

6/10

Raw almonds

I'm talking about the ones that have to be broken with a stone. I tell you that these almonds are not good to eat raw because they have cyanide and that toxin is very bad for the body. The almonds that already sell packaged already come cooked and toasted.

7/10

Broad beans

You have to cook these grains very well because if you eat them raw you will consume linamarin which is a toxic ingredient. This is converted to cyanide and as you already know the latter can be harmful to health.

8/10

Red beans

The vast majority of grains, but especially red beans, should not be eaten raw because they are bad for the colon. Raw beans literally cover the large intestine causing a very serious problem with going to the bathroom.

9/10

Yucca

Who doesn't love a piece of roasted, fried, or steamed cassava? You have to be very careful when washing and cooking it because cassava has a lot of linamarin, which is a toxic substance that turns into cyanide. Wash your hands well.

10/10

Berries

Berries are great for the body because they are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants but they are also full of toxins. The problem with berries is that people don't wash them before eating them and they are full of pesticides. This is why many people get sick and are allergic to berries.
