      Can chili and lamb liver be eaten together?

      Eating pepper and lamb liver together reduces nutritional value

      Chili peppers are rich in vitamin C; Sheep liver is rich in copper, iron and other ions. These ions can easily oxidize vitamin C, thereby reducing the nutritional value of peppers.

      "Golden Chamber Synopsis" records: "Eating mutton liver with raw pepper will damage the five internal organs. ”Later, Sun Simiao and Li Shizhen both had this understanding, but in actual consumption, people often stir-fried chili peppers with mutton liver and ate them together.

      There is another theory that chili peppers were introduced to China only in the Ming Dynasty, so the "peppers" mentioned by Zhang Zhongjing should be Sichuan peppercorns instead of chili peppers. Therefore, according to food habits, it is best not to eat Sichuan peppercorns and lamb liver together.
