Cucumber and tomato salad is one of the simplest and most versatile dishes.
You can add herbs, sour cream or other ingredients to the vegetables, which will only improve the taste and nutritional value of the dish.
But recently people were scared that these tomatoes and cucumbers cannot be combined with each other.
Gastroenterologist Sergei Vyalov refuted this myth.
He noted that these popular vegetables are largely composed of water.
They also contain a small amount of fiber.
"100 g of cucumber contains only 0.5 g of fiber, the rest is water. 100 g of tomatoes contain 1.5 g of fiber, the rest is water. You can't even call a salad like this a vegetable; it's easier to drink than eat it. 200 g of salad contains only 2 g of fiber. There's nothing incompatible here," NEWS.ru quotes the doctor as saying.
The doctor noted in a conversation with journalists that the incompatibility of products does not indicate their intolerance.
He also gave the example of the incompatibility of two drinks - milk and lemon juice. If you mix them, there will be a really negative reaction.
