Although this decomposing enzyme is sometimes ineffective after being heated, since people like to eat seafood raw, or simply blanch it with boiling water, the vitamin B1 decomposing enzymes in these clams are not all inactivated. If they are eaten with celery at this time, all the vitamin B1 in them will be destroyed. Especially eating it with crabs will greatly affect the absorption of protein. However, when the enzyme encounters acid, its decomposition ability will be weakened. Therefore, adding vinegar appropriately when eating clams and seafood can protect vitamin B1.
