The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and mooncakes are once again taking the spotlight on the dining table. However, due to their greasy nature, mooncakes are often enjoyed with other foods. However, there are considerations for food pairing, and not all foods are suitable to be eaten with mooncakes. Which foods are not suitable to be consumed with mooncakes?
Firstly, mooncakes are not suitable to be eaten with porridge. Both mooncakes and porridge belong to high glycemic index foods, which can rapidly increase blood sugar levels, especially unfavorable for diabetes patients, leading to potential discomfort.
Secondly, avoid consuming mooncakes with soft drinks. During festive family gatherings, fruit juices, soft drinks, and other beverages often accompany the dining table. Mooncakes themselves have high fat and sugar content. If paired with high-sugar drinks like soft drinks, it can not only cause a rapid increase in blood sugar but also exacerbate the body’s metabolic burden.
Lastly, do not drink cold water while eating mooncakes. Mooncakes have complex ingredients and high fat content, consuming them with cold water can easily cause diarrhea. It is recommended to drink hot water or tea after consuming mooncakes to help alleviate the greasy feeling.
The above suggestions aim to remind everyone to enjoy the deliciousness of mooncakes while paying attention to healthy dietary pairings, making the festival more enjoyable.
