While researching these topics did not give me any final information or answer on this topic, I tested a few things:

-------------------------------

• I tried to eat again some sprouts alone 2 days after feeling that discomfort - The sprouts are now creating lots of roots and are about 10 days into the sprouting process.

While the sprouts are now harder and more fiberish, they still seem to be ok to eat - I don't smell or taste anything which seems disagreable - When trying the raw kidney beans sprouts (which are toxic) the smell and feeling when eating them is an instant turn off - I tried them twice and both times the first impression + after affect was bad.

Withese 10 days sprouts, even though, they are more chewy and less crunchy, they still seem very much ok.

• Spinach

I tried again these thick water filled leaves and they are terrible - It feels absolutely not like spinach. It does not tase anything bad. It simply feels like one is water filled leaves which is a very strange feeling when you are expecting spinach.

So, yes, this could have played a role in the discomfort I felt even though at first impression all you seem to tates is simply more water.

At taste, I don't detect anything really bad - I need to be more careful and simply check the quality of the spinach I buy

This feels like buying bad quality fruit or vegetables - while they might still be ok to eat - the original taste and properties are totally gone - this is related with probably bad storage, freezing or other bad handling from producers.

---------

Side note: For that specific spinach, the first impression is that this spinach has been frozen (maybe twice or multiple times) this could be an unvoluntary bad handling from the producer.

However, the bad leaves have been clearly mixed with good leaves. 25% of the bag is actually good quality and looks pretty much how it should normally be.

This means that the bad leaves have been voluntarily mixed with good leaves for deception.

The bad leaves might be the result of an unvoluntary mishandling and they then tried to cover their mistake rather than dumping that stock of useless spinach leaves.

There is another theory though: this could as well be a voluntary practice aimed at increasing the weight of the spinach and therefore the profit.

These thick leaves filled with water weight probably 4 times more per leaf than the healthy leaves. This happens because they are much thicker and filled with water.

This could be just a one time mistake or repeated deceptive practice by some not so conscious profit driven producers...

Some further research could definitely unveil what truly happened with that spinach

-------------------------

• Coconut cream

two days later, the coconut cream box is now fermented - It has been opened for 5 to 7 days not sure exactly.

When tasting a bit of it today, it's totally off now!

If I would drink that now, I don't think this would feel good.

-------------------------

Another possible element could be food combination, for instance coconut cream almost off + very ripe melon + frozen water filled spinach leaves could altogether lead to the effect I experienced.

-------------------------

Conclusions:

• Consume coconut cream within 2 to 3 days after opening (get 1/2 liter instead of liter packages)
• Check spinach for quality
• Sprouts are okay to eat even when you eat them 10 days or more after starting the sprouting - They are simply more chewy, less crunchy

-------------------------

That's it for now!
