Because it looks like a handful of jade, it is also called "wishful plate";

It, tofu, sauce and gluten are called the four great inventions of Chinese cuisine by the west.

It, bamboo shoots and mushrooms were listed as the top three vegetarian dishes by the ancients;

It's bean sprouts with a market price of more than one yuan or even a few cents!

Many people think that since bean sprouts germinate from beans, their influence and efficacy should be similar to that of beans, but they are not.

The earliest extant Chinese medicine book "Shennong Herbal Classic" records that beans "treat dampness and arthralgia, and arrest knee pain."

"Changsha Yaojie" records: "diuresis and dampness, big wood Jin Shu."

"Compendium of Materia Medica" means that it can "relieve alcohol toxicity and heat toxicity and benefit triple energizer."

Huangdi Neijing said that "the wood is straight", and Chinese medicine believes that "the liver belongs to wood, and the liver is the main tendon". Let's look at the shape of bean sprouts. Is there a "straight" shape in it

Because the liver has the characteristics of storing blood and strengthening tendons, and the knee is the place where tendons gather, and it is also the place where water is easy to stay, taking bean sprouts can Shu Da wood gas, promote dampness and remove dampness, and the fascia can stretch, so it can treat and relieve the symptoms of knee flexion and extension.

It is also good for people who drink regularly to eat bean sprouts. It is mentioned above that it has the effect of "hangover". People with poor liver are also suitable for eating bean sprouts often.

For women, bean sprouts also have the effect of whitening and removing spots.

For example, it is recorded in Notes on Materia Medica that bean sprouts can "moisten fur".

Black here is mainly a kind of liver spot, that is, chloasma in western medicine, which is more common in women.

This kind of skin disease is mostly caused by depression and weakness of qi and blood.

As mentioned earlier, bean sprouts contribute to the Shu Da of liver qi, thus soothing the liver and relieving depression. Shu Da with liver qi can be beauty beauty, and bean sprouts can also dispel the wet and turbid qi on the face, so it can whiten the skin and moisturize the fur.

Women with chloasma and sentimentality may wish to give it a try!

The bean sprouts recorded in Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica, Notes on the Classic of Materia Medica and Yaojie in Changsha are "black beans soaked in Rijing, taken out and dried when the buds are five inches long", and the Compendium of Materia Medica records the bean sprouts grown from mung beans.

From the above analysis, bean sprouts grown from different beans still have different effects. Here are a few simple summaries for everyone:

1, black bean sprouts: the effect of promoting blood circulation and Shu Da liver qi is the strongest;

2. Soybean sprouts: have the function of dispersing damp-heat evil of spleen and stomach in middle energizer and summer dampness;

3, mung bean sprouts: the heat is the strongest. Many hot pots use a lot of mung bean sprouts or soybean sprouts to pad the bottom of the pot. The main purpose is to prevent spicy and irritating hot pot diet from inducing spleen and stomach damp heat, which is easy to digest and avoid "getting angry".
