1.Apple seeds

At the top of our list is an unexpected product: Apple seeds.

We all know the saying, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away,” but did you know that apple seeds contain a substance called amygdalin? It can be broken down into cyanide in the intestines.

Cyanide is a poison that, when ingested in large quantities, can prevent the blood from carrying oxygen and can be fatal.

The bitterness you may experience in the taste of apple seeds is the result of this cyanide.

Although your body can absorb small amounts of apple seeds, it is best to avoid them. To avoid poisoning, simply remove the seeds before eating the apple or spit them out after biting into it.

2.Fugu fish

Fugu fish, also known as takifugu, is a gourmet dish that is especially popular in Japan. However, despite its appeal, this fish can be deadly if prepared by an inexperienced chef.

The ovaries, liver, and intestines of puffer fish contain a powerful neurotoxin called tetrodotoxin. It is 1,200 times more deadly than cyanide. This toxin can cause paralysis of the nervous system, respiratory failure, and death.

In Japan, chefs who prepare fugu undergo intensive training for at least 2-3 years before they are licensed to serve the fish. Despite this training, several people still die each year from eating improperly prepared fugu.

My advice is to play it safe and avoid fugu fish, no matter how brave you think you are. Besides, there are plenty of other delicious and safe seafood dishes.

3.Rhubarb

Rhubarb is a popular ingredient in pies, tarts and jams. Its tart flavour pairs well with sweet strawberries, making it a great addition to any recipe.

Rhubarb stalks are safe to eat and taste delicious, but the leaves contain oxalic acid. In large quantities, this can be harmful to your health. Oxalic acid is a corrosive substance that can cause kidney failure.

During World War I, there were reports of people being poisoned by eating rhubarb leaves, mistakenly believing them to be a food source during times of food shortages.

While many healthy vegetables, such as spinach and broccoli, contain small amounts of oxalic acid, the concentration in rhubarb leaves is much higher, making them potentially dangerous.

So, be sure to remove the leaves before cooking rhubarb. Wash the stems thoroughly and remove the leaves to ensure safe and enjoyable cooking.

Rhubarb can be eaten in moderation as part of a balanced diet. It makes a unique and flavorful addition to your favorite recipes. Remember to always remove the leaves and wash the stems thoroughly before using.

4.Elderberry

Elderberries have become very popular lately. Research shows that they have antiviral and immune-boosting properties.

However, it is worth remembering that other parts of this plant, such as leaves, twigs, roots and unripe berries, are toxic.

Unripe elderberries contain bitter alkaloids that can release cyanide when consumed. This substance causes severe nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

The Centers for Disease Control reported a case in which eight people were rushed to the hospital after drinking the juice from elderberry leaves and twigs. Within 15 minutes, they began violently vomiting.

5.Beans

Beans are a great source of plant-based protein and fiber. However, if not prepared properly, they can cause digestive problems.

This is especially true for red kidney beans, which contain a protein called phytohemagglutinin (PHA).

In nature, this protein protects the beans from being eaten by animals, but it can be dangerous for humans. When eaten, PHA can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

The problem is that boiling beans briefly at low temperatures not only does not destroy PHA, but also increases its toxicity!

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), beans must be boiled for at least 10 minutes to be safe to eat. Cooking beans in a slow cooker or simmering them on low heat is not enough to destroy the toxin.

The good news is that canned beans are ready to eat and pose no danger. However, if you are using dried beans, it is recommended to soak them for at least 5 hours before cooking.

After soaking, drain the water and boil the beans for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to low and cook until tender. This will allow you to enjoy the beans without fear for your health.

6.Castor beans

Castor oil has been known for centuries. However, few people know that castor beans, from which this oil is produced, contain ricin, one of the most dangerous poisons on the planet.

Ricin is a toxin that can be fatal even in small amounts. A single grain of sand is enough for an adult. It blocks the production of proteins in cells, causing organ failure, seizures, and death within days.

Fortunately, the ricin is destroyed during the oil production process, so castor oil is safe for consumption and external use.

However, it is important to remember that raw castor beans and castor plants should be handled with caution.

One plant can be deadly to a child, so it is important to keep children and pets away from castor plants. Never eat raw castor seeds or beans.

Always wear gloves when handling castor products and wash your hands thoroughly after handling them. Teach children not to put unfamiliar seeds in their mouths and to avoid contact with castor plants.

7.Unripe lychees

Lychee is a delicious and nutritious tropical fruit that is rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and other beneficial substances. However, if eaten unripe, especially on an empty stomach, it can lead to serious consequences.

In northern India, every spring, many malnourished children die from a mysterious illness that was later found to be caused by unripe lychees. The children wake up with convulsions and fall into comas. Almost half die, and the rest suffer permanent brain damage.

After years of research, scientists have discovered the cause: unripe lychees contain a toxin called hypoglycin A. It lowers blood sugar levels and causes acute cerebral edema if eaten on an empty stomach.

Since this discovery, there have been fewer cases of children eating unripe lychees. Parents have been warned to let the fruit ripen completely before eating it. Ripe lychees are safe and healthy.

This tragic incident highlights the importance of a balanced diet and paying attention to your body’s needs. If you don’t like something or feel unwell after eating, trust your instincts and consult a doctor.

8.Nutmeg

Nutmeg is a flavorful spice that can add warmth and depth to dishes. It is safe in small amounts, but eating more than two teaspoons can cause poisoning.

Nutmeg contains the psychoactive substance myristicin, which in large doses can be dangerous and cause hallucinations, nausea, dizziness and irregular heartbeat.

Some people may try nutmeg to get a “high”, but this is not recommended as it can be harmful and has no known antidote.

Despite the potential risks, nutmeg remains a popular spice in many cuisines. Used in moderation, it can add a distinctive flavor to dishes.

9.Green potatoes

Potatoes are a versatile and healthy food that can be cooked in a variety of ways: boiled, baked, fried, and so on. They are tasty and filling. However, it is important to remember the potential risks associated with eating potatoes.

If you notice that your potatoes have turned green or sprouted, it is better not to eat them. Green potatoes and sprouts contain solanine, a substance that protects the plant from insects, diseases, and herbivores.

In large quantities, solanine can be harmful to humans and cause symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, fever, jaundice, irregular heartbeat, nightmares, hallucinations, numbness, and paralysis. In severe cases, it can even lead to death.

The green color of potatoes is due to chlorophyll, which is harmless in itself, but indicates the presence of solanine. Solanine levels increase when exposed to light and heat.

To reduce the risk, it is recommended to store potatoes in a cool, dark place, cut off any green spots or sprouts, and cook them thoroughly before eating. Discard mostly green potatoes. Solanine levels are highest in sprouts, flowers, and leaves, so avoid eating these parts.

Peeling the skin will help reduce the solanine content. However, it is worth remembering that frying at high temperatures does not effectively reduce solanine levels. Therefore, French fries made from green potatoes remain unsafe to eat.

10.Raw cashew nuts

Last but not least, let’s talk about cashews. You may have seen raw cashews in stores and thought you could eat them straight out of the bag. However, the truth is that these “raw” nuts have actually been cooked to remove a toxic substance called urushiol.

Urushiol is found in high concentrations in the shells and skins of raw cashew nuts. If eaten, these nuts can cause severe allergic reactions, including difficulty breathing and anaphylaxis.

Cashews are in the same plant family as poison ivy, mangoes, and pistachios, so you need to be careful when purchasing and eating these nuts.

I hope this information helps you make safer, healthier food choices. Remember, variety and moderation are the keys to healthy eating.

If you have any questions or concerns, please consult your doctor or dietitian to eliminate foods from your diet that are not suitable for you.
