It is recorded in Huangdi Neijing that red nourishes the heart, blue nourishes the liver, yellow nourishes the spleen and stomach, white nourishes the lungs and black nourishes the kidney, which are the basic guiding principles of our daily food supplement and diet therapy.
The black and five elements belong to water, mainly entering the kidney meridian, and the corresponding organs of the human body are kidney, bladder, ear, bone and so on. Therefore, black food has the functions of tonifying kidney, replenishing essence, blackening hair and strengthening teeth. Black food mainly includes black beans, black sesame seeds, black rice, black peanuts, mushrooms, black dates and ebony.
? Why am I interested in black food? Osteoarthritis originated for many years. Although doctors say it is irreversible, we can't just sit back and wait. People's illness is a partial response to the overall physical condition, and the corresponding strategy should be "combination boxing" Kidney governs bone marrow, and deficiency of kidney qi will inevitably affect bones. In addition to calcium supplementation, collagen supplementation, proper exercise and sun exposure. It is also necessary to eat more black food. Soaking black beans with vinegar is one of them, eating kidneys, teeth and hair for a long time.
When I first started cooking, I thought black beans must be cooked first, otherwise they would taste like beans, so I soaked them in vinegar after cooking and found that beans could not absorb much vinegar. Later, I heard from an enthusiastic vegetable vendor that it was raw, but after soaking with a grain of salt, the taste was ok and the vinegar was absorbed. Recently, I listened to teacher Pan Xiaojue's class and looked up some information. The original methods are all wrong, especially the raw black beans contain trypsin inhibitor, which will affect the absorption of protein. It seems that we can't take it for granted and hearsay, but we should choose health preservation methods scientifically and rigorously.
In fact, soaking black beans in vinegar is very simple.
I used long black beans and old vinegar. Wash the black beans, put them in a wok, and stir-fry them for 5 minutes on medium heat. There will be a beep, that is, the sound of cracking the bean skin. Turn down the fire for 5 minutes, and you will smell the beans. Be careful not to stir-fry Turn off the fire, let the fried black beans cool thoroughly, and put them in a wide-mouthed glass bottle. Don't fill them, because vinegar beans will swell. When vinegar goes into the bottle, it doesn't taste like black beans. The next day, the vinegar was absorbed by black beans, and then there was no smell of black beans. It's best to keep it in the refrigerator.
? It should be noted that it is not advisable to be jealous of soaking black beans. Sun Simiao, the ancient drug king, said: "Black beans eat less to wake up the spleen and eat more to hurt the spleen." Eat 10 yuan for breakfast every day, chew slowly, it will be a little sour. Don't reuse the vinegar soaked in beans and don't throw it away. Just eat with your food. Eat some Zhajiang Noodles, or eat jiaozi dipped in vinegar.
? People with a bad stomach should not avoid soaking black beans, because acidity will stimulate the stomach, and black beans are rich in protein, which is also easy to cause indigestion. In addition, it is not suitable for people with low blood pressure, because vinegar black beans have the effect of lowering blood pressure, and the blood pressure that is already low may be lower.
People who take alkaline drugs should not avoid soaking black beans in vinegar, because vinegar soaking black beans is acidic, which may change the pH of the local environment of the human body and affect the curative effect of drugs.
Now some people begin to feel dizzy and have gray hair at the age of 40, so if they are healthy, it is a good way to keep fit. In Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that "eating black beans often cures all diseases". Compendium of Materia Medica also says that "taking it can replenish essence and marrow, strengthen tendons and moisten muscles, turn white and black, stay old for a long time, and eventually become disease-free."
Soaking black beans in vinegar is simple to make and convenient to eat. It is important to stick to it.
