Most fruits are suitable for cooking.
Deputy Chief Physician Wang Chengsheng, Secretary-General of National Health Commission Health Industry Professional Committee, believes that cooking fruits in winter has certain health care principles, and most common fruits in winter are suitable for cooking. When the fruit is boiled in water, the water temperature is generally maintained at about 100 degrees Celsius, so the water temperature will not have much influence on the nutrients in the fruit. Antioxidants such as polyphenols can basically maintain the "original ecology". From this point of view, the health care functions of cooked fruits such as moistening dryness, relaxing bowels and helping digestion are not much different from those of raw fruits.
Secretary-General Wang Chengsheng said that people's stomachs are warm and cold in winter. Drinking hot "fruit soup" in cold season is not only beneficial to replenish corresponding water, but also convenient to obtain rich nutrition, and at the same time avoids the stimulation of cold fruits to the stomach. But not all fruits are suitable for cooking or cooking for too long. For example, kiwi fruit, orange, grapefruit and strawberry are not suitable for cooking for too long, so as not to destroy the vitamin C in these fruits.
"Baiguopai" relieves cough, excessive phlegm and dryness in winter.
Professor Guo, an expert in nutrition and dietotherapy at Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that pears have the reputation of "one hundred fruits" and are also called "natural mineral water" because of their freshness, juiciness and good palatability. Pear contains sugar, tannic acid and other ingredients, which can eliminate phlegm and relieve cough and maintain the throat. Pears are cool and can clear away heat and soothe the nerves. Regular consumption can make blood pressure return to normal and improve dizziness and other symptoms.
Professor Guo said that the winter climate is cold, and colds, coughs and acute bronchitis often occur. Prepare raw pears 1 piece, wash and chop them up, add rock sugar and steam them, once in the morning and once in the evening, and take them for 3 days, and the effect is good.
In addition, the winter climate is dry. To this end, Professor Guo also recommended a "cream" that is convenient for readers to make: pear cream. The specific method is to prepare two kilograms of pears, chop and mash them, wring juice (or stir-fry), cook them on low heat until they become thick, add 1 times honey, mix well and stir-fry until they are cool. Take 1 spoon each time and take it with warm water. This prescription comes from Puji Fang, which has good effects of nourishing yin, promoting fluid production, moistening dryness and quenching thirst.
