[What not to eat with pork ribs]
1. Foods rich in tannic acid
Although pork ribs are the ribs of pigs, they usually come with some pork meat on top of the bones. Therefore, the protein content of pork ribs is still high. If you eat foods rich in tannic acid with pork ribs, it will reduce the nutritional value of the pork ribs.
Common foods rich in tannic acid include pomegranates, grapes, persimmons, kiwis, yangmei berries, fragrant rush, and green mulberries.
2. Foods rich in unsaturated fatty acids
Pork ribs have a high fat content, about 23g of fat per 100g of pork ribs. If you eat foods rich in unsaturated fatty acids with pork ribs, the saturated fatty acids in the pork ribs will reduce the absorption of unsaturated fatty acids, thereby reducing the nutritional value of unsaturated fatty acids.
Common foods rich in unsaturated fatty acids include salmon, prawns, deep-sea fish oil, okra seeds, pomegranate seeds, kelp, seaweed, and sesame.
3. Foods rich in phosphorus
Pork ribs themselves have a high protein content, so they are rich in phosphorus. However, the calcium content is not high. Eating pork ribs is not conducive to the absorption of calcium. If you eat foods rich in phosphorus with pork ribs, the calcium-to-phosphorus ratio will be smaller, which is even more detrimental to the absorption of calcium, and it reduces the nutritional value of pork ribs.
Common foods rich in phosphorus include legumes, white soup, peanuts, nuts, animal organs, and seaweed.
