One meal a day
Traditional Chinese medicine: buckwheat vegetables

Confucius has a saying: "Don't eat when you can't", which means that when you eat something, you can have the best taste and the richest nutrition according to the natural growth characteristics of everything, so as to achieve the purpose of health preservation. Therefore, "eating from time to time" is the embodiment of folk diet wisdom, and this view is especially applicable to vegetables.

Different vegetable varieties, because of their different genetic characteristics, adapt to different seasons and environmental growth, grow most vigorously and taste freshest under suitable conditions, so vegetables are also called seasonal vegetables. Although with the development of cultivation techniques, many out-of-season vegetables can be eaten all year round, there are still some vegetables that will miss the taste appreciation period as long as they are listed briefly at a certain time, and buckwheat is a good example.

Buckwheat is a special vegetable in spring, which is usually listed quietly after the Spring Festival. But more than a month after the spring rain, it is the best time to eat buckwheat, which is the freshest, most delicious, crisp and residue-free. In May, Buckwheat will quietly bid farewell to everyone, and see you next year.

Buckwheat food looks like leeks and shallots, but its taste is not as overbearing as leeks and spicy as shallots, but it is somewhat sweet in its unique spicy flavor. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that buckwheat is pungent, sweet and warm, which has the effects of regulating qi, widening chest, activating yang and dispersing stagnation, and can relieve chest tightness, chest obstruction and heartache caused by phlegm and blood stasis and heart pulse obstruction. Modern pharmacological studies have found that buckwheat acid contained in buckwheat vegetables also has pharmacological effects such as lowering blood pressure, stopping bleeding and clotting, and delaying aging.
