Is there a pit in loquat?
Yes Chinese medicine believes that fresh loquat can moisten dryness, clear lung, relieve cough, promote fluid production to quench thirst, regulate stomach to stop vomiting, reduce qi and eliminate phlegm, which is especially suitable for people who feel dry mouth and hot mouth for a long time. Patients with chronic cough and hemoptysis and tuberculosis should eat more loquat. However, loquat seeds contain cyanosides, which must be removed when eating. Loquat pit is not edible. If you swallow loquat seeds, cyanosides will be hydrolyzed by saliva when chewing, releasing highly toxic hydrocyanic acid. Under the action of enzymes, hydrocyanic acid can be decomposed and released, leading to hydrocyanic acid poisoning. Hydrocyanic acid is absorbed in tissues and cells and combined with iron-containing respiratory enzymes, resulting in hypoxia, which in turn damages the functions of respiratory and vascular movement centers, and even leads to respiratory paralysis and death in severe cases. In an emergency, it's best to go to the hospital and be rescued by a doctor.
