However, many people are unwilling to accept its bitterness. Below, I would like to recommend to you how to choose a bitter gourd with fire-clearing effect and light bitterness.
Of course, some people will say that the content of bitter melon will be lower, and the main component of bitter gourd that can lower blood sugar is bitter gourd, but it is necessary to know that eating bitter gourd alone will not achieve the effect of lowering blood sugar, just to control blood sugar, or to monitor it with drugs frequently. So it depends on your own needs.
First of all, look at whether it is bitter or not, and the lines are dense. This bitter gourd tastes bitter and contains more momordicin. The wider the grain, the lighter the bitterness.
Secondly, it depends on whether the bitter gourd meat is thick enough. The bigger the pimple, the fuller it is, the thicker the melon meat and the thinner the bitter gourd meat.
The cooking method of bitter gourd is also very important. The most suitable cooking methods are steaming, frying and cold salad. These light cooking methods will have a better effect of clearing away heat and reducing fire. Too much oil will affect the efficacy.
Protein of shrimp is very good, and its fat content is relatively low. Moreover, zinc is particularly rich, and the zinc content of islet tissue of sugar friends will be half less than that of normal people. Therefore, when adding protein, we should add some zinc-rich ones. Moreover, shrimp also has the function of tonifying kidney and strengthening yang.
