Beware of red and moldy sugar cane before and after the Qingming Festival.

What is the reason why the old man said,"Qingming sugarcane, poisonous snake"

Sugar cane after a winter, in the process of transportation, storage received a kind of pollution called arthrospora mold, produced a kind of toxin called 3-nitropropionic acid. This is a relatively deadly toxin, mild nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain blurred vision, etc., severe cases can appear limb convulsions, even brain hydration, pulmonary edema and other conditions, causing respiratory failure resulting in death, mortality rate can reach more than 10%.

Why sugar cane in Qingming season?

Just now we mentioned that sugar cane after a winter of storage, suffered from the infection of arthrospora mold, a very small amount of this bacteria produced toxins far from the human body to pose a threat, but Qingming season rain after rain, Qingming rain more, temperature rise, this bacteria is easy to carry out rapid reproduction, causing further pollution to sugar cane, until a large amount of toxins accumulated, after eating it to pose a life threat to the human body.

How do you tell if you're infected with bacteria?

If the leaves are fresh, even the sugarcane has signs of germination, which proves that the sugarcane is still "alive" and can be purchased with confidence. Second, look at the sugar cane core has no redness phenomenon, if found that sugar cane becomes soft, sugar cane internal color is red, do not buy, more can not eat. A smell is the smell of sugar cane, if there is a moldy smell, or after fermentation alcohol smell, this kind of sugar cane is likely to be moldy sugar cane, do not buy.

Attention, there are two.

First, not only when buying sugar cane, we should pay attention to the mildew of sugar cane, but also when buying sugar cane juice, because the toxin of moldy sugar cane is very difficult to find in sugar cane juice, so we should carefully purchase sugar cane with unknown origin.

Second, found that the sugar cane heart turned red, some friends feel thrown away waste, will cut off the red sugar cane that section, eating sugar cane with normal color, this way is wrong. Because after the pathogen invades the sugarcane, the hyphae can extend, cut off the mildewed parts in time, and other parts with normal color also have a large amount of toxins invisible to the naked eye.
