function
Chinese medicine believes that snails are sweet in taste and cold in nature, which can clear away heat and improve eyesight, and can cure jaundice, edema, stranguria and thirst. It is reported that snails contain anticancer substances, so snails become an ideal nutritious food.
Documentary record
Snails can be seen everywhere in lakes and streams, as big as fingers, and their shells are thicker than snails. Eat mud. In spring, people steam it in a pot, and its meat comes out and the wine is cooked. "
"Herbal Yan Hui": "Snail, medicine for relieving alcoholic fever, relieving jaundice, clearing fire eyes and benefiting the large intestine."
How to eat:
Snails can be eaten in many ways. They can be fried with onion, ginger, soy sauce, cooking wine and white sugar, or cooked to pick out snail meat, which can be mixed, drunk, rotten and simmered. If eaten properly, it can really be called "a dish of snails is not as interesting as a thousand dishes, and food is not as good as food".
There are different ways to eat snails in different places. It is said that people in Hunan can't sip snails, but pick them out with a needle and fry them in oil. Shanghainese and Hangzhou people naturally sip snails. Cut off the snail's tail with scissors and soak it in the cooked soup. It tastes particularly delicious. When people in Guangdong and Guangxi fry snails, they like to use garlic and fresh perilla leaves as ingredients, which not only makes the snail meat more delicious, but also has a certain bactericidal effect. Shanghai food stall at midnight snack, stir-frying snails is a housekeeping dish. Interestingly, after spring night food stall and snails are restored together, if there is no snail substrate, Shanghai style may be inferior. Shaoxing people have a saying that "fried snails are too old to drink, and robbers will not leave when they come". It is self-evident that eating snails is addictive. Su Beiren likes to entertain guests with "Fried leeks with snails", and its delicacy can also make people drool. Su Dongpo is a family, but unfortunately Mr. Su Dongpo can't suck snails. According to legend, Su Dongpo exhausted his internal strength, but he couldn't suck out snail meat. It turns out that this man didn't cut off the snail's tail, so he had to pick it with a bamboo needle and didn't know how to eat it. In the end, it became the laughing stock of "Dongpo eats snails-pick them slowly".
The Hani people have boiled snails with sour bamboo shoots: the snails are fried in a salt pan until the screw cap is removed and the oil is removed until they are cooked in a bowl. Stir-fry sour bamboo shoots in the pot, and cook pepper, dried tangerine peel and boiled water. Peppermint was added to the fried snail. Jingpo people also have snail soup: stir-fry snails with shells until they burst, add water, ginger, garlic and sour bamboo shoots, and boil.
Bai people have a unique skill. They took off the testicles attached to the snail's tail and scalded them with hot water to make them yellow. The snail essence in yellow mud is high in protein, with high nutritional value, and its price is ten times higher than that of snails. The soup is made of snail yolk and snail tofu, which do not precipitate when snails are boiled, and sprinkled with chopped green onion and radish. It is delicious. After eating snail tofu soup, it is refreshing and refreshing, and the energy is doubled. No wonder foreigners traveling in go to dali want to taste snail tofu soup at a high price.
Edible instructions
Snails can't be burned immediately after they are bought, otherwise they won't feel fresh, and there will always be some sediment inside. After the snail is bought, it is washed with clear water for 1-2 days, so that the snail can spit out the dirty things in its stomach. If you sprinkle a little salt or drop a few drops of sesame oil on clean water, the dirty things in the snail's stomach will vomit faster. Remove the shell of the snail tail with pliers before eating, without too much clamping, so that it can be easily sucked out after doing so. If it is snail meat, wash it when you buy it. Soak 5~ in salt water first, and then scratch it hard. Rinse it several times, and be sure to wash it clean, otherwise it will make your mouth astringent.
Procurement guide
The choice of snails is learned. The big snail meat is old, and the small snail is not easy to spit out, so it is best to be moderate. After Tomb-Sweeping Day, most snails have seeds, and it is difficult to choose those without seeds. Generally, if you choose medium-sized snails, the chances of seedlessness will be much higher (small snails are mostly seedless but inconvenient to eat).
Edible taboo
1. Snails are cold, so eating snails also picks people. It is not suitable for people with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold. If they must eat, add some ginger to drive away the cold. In addition, people who are suffering from cold and wind-heat can't eat it; Girls can't eat during menstruation; Do not eat after childbirth.
2- Snails are delicious and make people greedy. In addition to poor treatment, it may also cause hepatitis A and schistosomiasis, and eating too much may also cause indigestion. This is because snails are rich in sugar. Eating too much at a time not only hinders the absorption of iron, but also easily causes discomfort such as indigestion and diarrhea.
3. Old people who eat more snails will have arteriosclerosis. With the increase of age, the physical function of the elderly declines, and the ability of the kidneys to excrete waste decreases. At this time, if they eat snails in large quantities and eat too much plant sugar, it will inevitably increase the nitrogen-containing waste produced in the body, increase the burden on the kidneys, and further reduce the renal function. Therefore, the elderly should eat snails in moderation.
I especially remind you to choose snails carefully and eat snails carefully, especially those that can't be eaten continuously for a long time, not to mention dead snails.
