①Carrot

Yams are rich in vitamin C, while carrots are rich in vitamin C-degrading enzymes. If yams and carrots are eaten together, the vitamin C in the yam will be broken down and destroyed.

②Cucumber

Yams are rich in vitamin C, while cucumbers are rich in vitamin C-degrading enzymes. If they are eaten together, the vitamin C will be decomposed, resulting in nutrient waste.

③Pumpkin

The vitamin C-degrading enzyme contained in pumpkin will break down and destroy the vitamin C in yam, reducing the nutritional value of yam.

④ Winter melon

Winter squash is rich in vitamin C-degrading enzyme, and yam is rich in vitamin C. Eating them together will cause the vitamin C to be destroyed by the vitamin C-degrading enzyme.
