1, horseshoe sugarcane is a good choice for clearing away heat and promoting fluid production, and a fire broke out in spring.
Horseshoe, also known as water chestnut and horseshoe, is purple and black in skin and white in meat, sweet and juicy, crisp and delicious. Since ancient times, it has been called underground Sydney, and northerners regard it as Jiangnan ginseng. Water chestnut can be regarded as fruits and vegetables, and it is a popular seasonal product. In fact, strictly speaking, March and April are not the normal production time of horseshoes, so it is difficult to eat fresh horseshoes in spring except in tropical areas such as Lingnan.
Horseshoe has the functions of clearing away heat and purging fire, cooling blood and detoxicating, promoting diuresis and relaxing bowels, resolving phlegm and promoting digestion, and relieving flatulence. It is a good choice to choose some horseshoes to make soup for people who are dry and get angry in spring and people with heavy humidity in Lingnan.
Sugarcane seems to have more seasons than horseshoes. March-April is the time for sugarcane harvest. Sugarcane is the best and freshest at this time. There are two kinds of sugarcane: purple sugarcane and green sugarcane. Because of its effect of clearing away heat and promoting fluid production, the ancients called sugarcane juice "natural fumai soup". Li Shizhen said: Sugarcane is the fruit of the spleen. Bagasse is sweet in taste, cold in nature and capable of purging heat. In other words, sugarcane has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, promoting fluid production to quench thirst, regulating stomach to stop vomiting, nourishing yin and moistening dryness. It's hot and dry in spring. Cooking a bowl of sugar water with horseshoes and sugarcane can get twice the result with half the effort.
2. Pregnant women and diabetics should be careful to eat sugar cane.
The common "sucrose" in our life actually refers to the sugar in sugarcane at the earliest. The ancients have long known that sugarcane can be used to fry sugar, but because of this, sugarcane has become a fruit that pregnant women and diabetics need to eat carefully. This has nothing to do with whether sugarcane is cold or not, but with the large amount of sugar contained in sugarcane. If pregnant women eat sugar cane, if their blood sugar exceeds the normal limit, it will promote the growth and reproduction of staphylococci on the skin and easily lead to small boils or boils on the skin. Excessive energy intake is also likely to increase the risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension. Therefore, pregnant women and diabetic patients should control their intake while eating, and at the same time reduce the intake of some staple foods to ensure the "balance of income and expenditure" of energy.
3, enamel pot is very easy to use, don't use it to stew sour soup.
In life, we will stew soup with pots made of various materials, and enamel pots are one of them. Many people worry that enamel pots are poisonous, but there is no need to worry. Enamel pots are safe, but there are some precautions. Enamel pot refers to a pot made by coating enamel glaze on the surface of metal blank. Enamel is a composite material made by melting and curing inorganic glassy materials on the base metal and firmly combining with the metal. Enamel is mainly composed of two parts, namely metal material and porcelain glaze. Enamel pot has good mechanical strength and physical and chemical properties of enamel, good corrosion resistance, wear resistance and heat resistance, and also has the characteristics of non-toxicity and good decoration. Generally, enamel pots are white, and the enamel used is silica, alumina and so on. Environmental protection and non-toxic, chemical and chemical properties are relatively stable. Therefore, qualified and high-quality enamel pots can be used to make soup or put weakly acidic and alkaline foods. It should be noted that enamel pots are not suitable for cooking and cannot store food with strong acid and alkali.
