Eating dates is very helpful to the body and is very effective in regulating the spleen and stomach. Longevity must start from the acquired spleen and stomach, and conditioning the spleen and stomach needs to start from the daily diet. For many years, Mr. Lu Jinghua has a eating habit, which is to eat three dates every day (after meals). In Lu Lao's description, red dates are a good way for middle-aged and elderly friends to regulate their spleen and stomach.

However, Lao Lu has an article about how to eat dates. Many friends drink soaked dates. In fact, many beneficial components in red dates are insoluble in water. If you soak red dates in water when you drink them and don't eat them at last, you may lose a lot of nutrients of red dates. It is not recommended to cook porridge with jujube soup. Flavonoids and polyphenols in jujube may be lost due to long-term heating. Moreover, juicy jujube meat becomes pale and tasteless, soft and unpalatable, and it is easy to be discarded and wasted.

First, select the date. Jujube is thick and fleshy, with a certain weight. Bright red dates are of better quality. Then, take a bath and wash away the impurities in the jujube peel, but don't soak it. Then steam it for about 20 minutes on medium fire, then steam it in the shade for 3-4 hours and then steam it for 20 minutes, then boil water and steam it on low fire. Steam it again every time you eat it, removing the skin and nuts.

Eating jujube for a long time can regulate spleen and stomach weakness, but it is a pity that jujube peel has high dietary fiber content and is not easy to digest, especially for friends with poor passability and weak digestive ability. However, the skin of liver jujube is difficult to peel, but steamed jujube can be peeled well. Steamed jujube meat is firm and soft, with high sugar content and good taste. Many friends think that if the three-steaming method is complicated, you can also eat steamed dates, such as cooking them together in rice, and you can also get good results.

Many people know that red dates can't be eaten too much at a time. One of the reasons is that jujube peel is not only hard but also difficult to digest and decompose, which will cause a burden on the stomach. If soaked in water, the hard jujube peel will also cause nutrients to be wrapped and dissolved. Before soaking in water, we'd better fry the red dates in an iron pan, preferably hard and black. This kind of jujube water will crack the epidermis after soaking, which is more conducive to the integration of nutrients in jujube meat into the water, and has the effects of nourishing the stomach and treating stomach cold.
