How long does dried yellow cabbage soak without toxicity

Dried yellow cabbage generally needs to be soaked for 2-3 hours to remove toxins, and if warm water or multiple water changes are used, it can be shortened to about 1 hour. The colchicine in yellow flowers is easily soluble in water and can be safely consumed after soaking thoroughly and cooking at high temperatures. During the production process of dried daylily, there may be trace amounts of colchicine residue, which is easily decomposed at high temperatures but needs to be soaked to accelerate dissolution. It is recommended to change the water every half an hour when soaking in cold water for more than 2 hours to effectively reduce toxicity. Soaking in warm water can improve dissolution efficiency. It is safer to control the water temperature at around 60 degrees Celsius and soak for 1 hour before blanching for 3-5 minutes. The soaking container should avoid using metal materials to prevent reaction with the ingredients in the yellow flower. Some wild yellow flowered vegetables that have not been processed according to regulations may have high toxin content, and there is still a risk even after prolonged soaking. This type of situation requires extending the soaking time to 4-6 hours and observing whether the soaking water shows obvious yellow turbidity. If abnormal phenomena such as mold growth and odor are found in the yellow cabbage, it is not recommended to continue consuming it. For individuals with special physical conditions such as pregnant women and those with liver and kidney dysfunction, it is recommended to choose fresh yellow flowers or pre packaged products with good reputation.

It is recommended to choose products from regular channels for daily consumption of dried yellow flowers. When soaking, keep the water quality clean and drain thoroughly. Cooking with ingredients rich in vitamin C, such as green peppers and tomatoes, can help reduce potential risks. When storing, it should be placed in a cool and dry place to avoid moisture. It is recommended to consume it as soon as possible after opening. If discomfort symptoms such as numbness in the lips occur, stop eating immediately and seek medical attention.
