5 Types Of Poisoning Foods Are Not Recognized

Every day most of us eat foods produced by plants that contain a deadly poison. So far, we are not worried about it because the production of fruit and vegetables to make sure that we are always safe, but there are times when some people are accidentally killed themselves by eating the wrong part of the plant.

To avoid any toxins found in plants are not aware of. Here are five food poisoning you should know that they are toxic:

1. CHERRY
Cherries are fruits that are very popular - used in cooking, the production of liquor, or eaten raw. These fruits are from the same family with the raisins, apricots, and peaches. All the mentioned fruits contain highly toxic substances in the leaves and seeds. Almonds are also one of the members of this family but is a special fruit that is harvested for seed taken. When crushed, chewed, or even slightly damaged, this cherry seeds will produce prussic acid (hydrogen cyanide). Next time if you eat the cherries, remember not to swallow or chew the seeds.

2. ALMOND
Almonds have a unique flavor and is very useful in cooking so that the nuts are one of the most popular ingredients in pastry kitchens for centuries. The most flavorful almonds are bitter almonds (almond opposite of "sweet"). Bitter almond has a strong odor and is very popular in some countries. But there was one problem: These nuts are full of cyanide. Prior consumed bitter almonds must be processed first, so that releasing the poison. Due to certain regulations, some states sell bitter almonds illegal (New Zealand is one of them). Heating can destroy the poison. In fact, you may not know that now has been illegal to sell raw almonds in the United States - all almonds sold are now heated to remove the traces of toxins and bacteria.

3.APPLE
Like the two previous types, apple seeds contain cyanide - but in smaller doses. Apple seeds are often eaten accidentally, so that you do not feel sick try not to eat much less in quantity.

4. POTATO
Potatoes contain toxic to the stems and leaves - and even within the potato itself if left to the green (green color caused by high concentration of glycoalkaloid poison). Potato poisoning is rare, but this happens from time to time. Death usually comes after a prolonged weakness and dizziness, followed by a comma. Most cases of death by potatoes during the last fifteen years in the United States is by eating green potatoes or drinking potato leaf tea.

5. TOMATO
The leaves and stems of tomato plants contain a chemical called "Glycoalkaloid" that causes extreme nervousness and stomach upsets. In addition, the leaves and stems can be used in cooking to enhance flavor, but both must be removed before eating. Cooking this way is not sufficient to remove toxins but can make a big difference in taste. Finally, to enhance the flavors of tomato, sprinkle a little sugar on it.The leaves and stems of tomato plants contain a chemical called "Glycoalkaloid" that causes extreme nervousness and stomach upsets.
