Cordyceps flower: Cordyceps flower is not a flower, but an artificially cultivated Cordyceps fruiting body. Culture medium is a fungus, which imitates various nutrients contained in natural insects, including cereals, beans, eggs and milk. In order to distinguish it from Cordyceps sinensis, smart merchants have a nice name called "Cordyceps sinensis". The biggest feature of Cordyceps sinensis is that there is no "worm", only orange or yellow "grass", which has similar efficacy to Cordyceps sinensis, and has the functions of nourishing lung and kidney, protecting liver, resisting oxidation, preventing aging, resisting bacteria, resisting inflammation, calming down blood pressure and improving immunity.

Luffa: Fresh and tender fruit is eaten as a vegetable. When it is ripe, the fiber in the fruit hardens, and the pulp is removed, which becomes a filamentous fiber bundle, hence the name "Luffa". There are also some Cantonese people who call it "winning melons". Because some words are taboo in Guangdong, silk is similar to losing, so take the opposite of losing and use winning melon instead of losing. Luffa is cool and sweet. It is rich in protein, fat, carbohydrate, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin b 1, vitamin C, as well as saponins, plant mucus, xylose gum and so on. It has the effects of clearing away heat and resolving phlegm, cooling blood, removing toxic substances, relieving summer heat, relieving restlessness, dredging channels and activating collaterals. Indications: fever, thirst, excessive phlegm, asthma, cough, intestinal wind, hemorrhoid leakage, sores and swelling, and galactorrhea in women.

Delicious tip:

Luffa is cold and slippery, and it is easy to have diarrhea if you eat too much; Do not eat it raw.
