At this time, the Chinese toon is mellow, refreshing and has high nutritional value, so there is a saying that "Chinese toon is as tender as silk before the rain." Chinese toon is generally divided into purple toon buds and green toon buds, among which purple toon buds are the best. Fresh toon buds are rich in sugar, protein, fat, carotene and a large amount of vitamin C. The nutritional and medicinal value of toon is considerable. Its leaves, buds, roots, bark and fruits can all be used as medicine. Toon has the effects of improving the body's immunity, strengthening the stomach, regulating qi, stopping diarrhea, moisturizing the skin, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and insecticidal. It should be noted that due to the high nitrate content in fresh toon, it should be blanched in boiling water before consumption.There are many ways to eat toon as a delicious vegetable. In addition to toon mixed with tofu and toon fried eggs, you can also use cut young shoots and thinly spread eggs to mix and roll them, or mix the whole toon shoots with egg flour and fry them into "toon fish". It is crispy, tender and unique in flavor. In addition to eating it fresh, Chinese toon can also be pickled with salt. That is, add salt to the Chinese toon, put it into a jar, seal the mouth, and it can be eaten after half a month. When eating, cut it into small pieces and mix it with mashed garlic. Fresh toon can also be washed, cut into pieces, put it in plastic wrap and freeze in the refrigerator. spinachAfter Grain Rain, spring is almost over. According to the TCM idea of "nourishing the liver in spring", we should seize the opportunity to regulate liver blood. The liver opens up to the eyes. If the liver blood is insufficient, it cannot flow to the eyes and vision is unclear. Or if the liver qi stagnates and turns into heat, it disturbs the head and eyes and causes dizziness. The key points of the diet therapy at this time are to nourish and cleanse the liver, nourish and improve eyesight. Among many vegetables, spinach is the most suitable for liver health.Traditional Chinese medicine believes that spinach is sweet and cool in nature, and enters the intestines and stomach meridians. It has the effects of nourishing blood and stopping bleeding, benefiting the five internal organs, unblocking blood vessels, quenching thirst and moistening the intestines, nourishing yin and calming the liver, aiding digestion, and clearing away heat and toxins from the stomach and intestines. It is often effective in the auxiliary treatment of stomach problems complicated by liver qi disharmony. It has a good therapeutic effect on hypertension, headache, dizziness and anemia caused by liver yin deficiency in spring.
