Almonds: Just like cashew nuts,
almonds too are considered to be extremely poisonous if not treated before
consumption. In the crude form these nuts are exposed to heat in order to make
them edible.
Potatoes: One of the most commonly
eaten vegetable across the world, a potato plant is actually poisonous.
Everything except the bulbs, that we consume, is extremely harmful. If you
consume the leaves of the potato plant in surfeit quantities it can prove to be
fatal.
Mushrooms: Toadstools are poisonous
mushrooms that must not be eaten. Mushrooms that are found in the wild are the
harmful ones and can cause grave damage to the body. However, you must take
note of the fact that not all mushrooms are poisonous.
Rhubarb: Rhubarb is a plant with
edible and flavorsome stems which are used as a part of a number of desserts.
However the leaves of this plant contain an acid which is very harmful in
nature. Being observant about the quality and nature of
food you consume is particularly imperative. Having complete knowledge and
information about unusual foods is another important point to be taken care of.
Apple seeds: The fruit
that actually keeps the doctor away has poisonous seeds that contain cyanide.
However, the level of cyanide is low and does not cause extreme reactions. But
health experts do not recommend eating apple seeds.
Cherries: The tiny little red fruit
is enjoyed by most people and used in a number of ways. However, the seed of
the cherry is poisonous in nature. It releases hydrogen cyanide in your body.
You might feel uneasy, dizzy or even vomit. Extreme reactions include
convulsions, kidney failure and heart related problems.
Cashew: Raw cashews contain
urushiol, which is a poisonous chemical that can lead to death of a person. The
ones that are available in the market are not in their raw form as they are
steamed before being packed for consumption.
