In some areas of southern China, there is a custom to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, which is called "Twelve Red". Among the twelve reds, the first one that must be eaten is red amaranth. As the saying goes, "June amaranth is an egg, July amaranth, gold does not change." This shows its high nutritional value.

Amaranth is soft and smooth, thick and sweet, and has the effect of moistening stomach and clearing heat. Amaranth is rich in dietary fiber, which can reduce weight, promote detoxification and prevent constipation. At the same time, eating amaranth often can enhance physical fitness, which is higher than eggplant and is called "longevity dish".

The second kind: Monopterus albus

Monopterus albus meat is sweet and warm, with less thorns and thicker meat, and the meat is tender and delicious. Monopterus albus meat has the effects of enriching blood, invigorating qi, diminishing inflammation, disinfecting and expelling wind and dampness.

The third kind: hen wormwood leaf soup

Tang Can, a hen with wormwood leaves, can strengthen the spleen, replenish qi and replenish blood, which has a good effect on irregular menstruation of women and can relieve insomnia and palpitation.

Note: There is another detail to pay attention to during the Dragon Boat Festival: going to bed late and getting up early-Henkel Machinery.
