If we don't plant it at home, many people will buy it online or in major supermarkets. But which one should we choose in the face of purple Sophora japonica and white Sophora japonica on the market?
There is a folk saying that "Sophora japonica flowers are fragrant in May". Moisturized by natural rain and sunshine, it tastes delicious. If you pick it yourself, it is not recommended to eat it raw directly, because the external growth environment is uncertain and the risk factor is high, which is easy to be polluted by heavy metals.
If you want to eat it safely, you must heat it before eating it. For example, in the traditional eating method of Sophora japonica, fresh Sophora japonica is mixed with flour and steamed directly in the pot, or used to scramble eggs and make buns. Whether it's purple Sophora japonica or white Sophora japonica, it tastes good.
On the difference, if you have seen Sophora japonica, it is not as fragrant as Sophora japonica, and it is often a flower worth watching. In addition, some people think that Sophora japonica is poisonous. Actually, you don't have to worry about this. The only thing to note is that there is a photosensitive substance in Sophora japonica.
Especially for people with sensitive skin, if they are exposed to strong sunlight after eating Sophora japonica, such as skin exposure to sunlight, they may also induce solar dermatitis. Therefore, such people should pay attention when eating.
From the nutritional point of view, it is recommended that everyone eat Sophora japonica, which is rich in vitamin B, flavonoids, calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium and other nutrients, and has high nutritional value and can be used as one of the dishes.
In addition, flavonoids in Sophora japonica have strong antioxidant and anti-aging effects. Related animal experiments have found that this substance is beneficial to prevent arteriosclerosis and reduce the risk of blood vessel blockage.
Chinese medicine believes that Sophora japonica is bitter and slightly cold. Entering the large intestine and liver meridian, it can cool blood and stop bleeding, clear liver and purge fire, and is used for hematochezia and hemorrhoids.
Finally, for people who love to eat Sophora japonica, they may be sad that Sophora japonica has not appeared for a long time. Here, we might as well pay attention to the preservation method of Sophora japonica. First, you can put Sophora japonica in a fresh-keeping bag, pay attention to the air in the fresh-keeping bag, seal it and put it in the refrigerator for preservation.
Second, drying Sophora japonica in the sun, soaking in water or making various desserts are all good choices.
Thirdly, we can mix Sophora japonica with flour, or add other ingredients, such as green leafy vegetables and flour, make stuffing, and keep it in the refrigerator for more than half a year. There is no problem.
