As I said last time, in the spring of "spring sleep" and "wet weight", we should not only eliminate dampness in diet, but also strengthen the spleen. For Laoguang, who are often good at "making soup" in the humid Lingnan area, they can always use all kinds of soup materials flexibly to make all kinds of spleen-strengthening and dampness-removing soups. Among many old and wide soup materials for eliminating dampness, Coix lachryma-jobi is estimated to be the one with the highest frequency.
Coix lachryma-jobi seeds come from the dried and mature kernels of Coix lachryma-jobi, a Gramineae plant. Harvest the fruit when it is ripe in autumn, and put it down. After drying in the sun, the shell, yellow-brown seed coat and impurities are removed, and it can be used. Coix seed, also known as Coix seed, Coix seed and Liuguzi, is rich in carbohydrates, higher in calories than rice and wheat, and rich in fat, protein, amino acids, vitamins and trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and potassium. Therefore, it has been eaten as food for a long time and has the reputation of "the king of gramineous plants in the world" and "the food of life and health".
Coix seed is not only nutritious, but also easily digested and absorbed by gastrointestinal tract. It is an ideal meal replacement food for the elderly, children and people who are weak and recovered after a long illness. If eaten regularly, it can also enhance human immunity and make people light, agile, healthy and long-lived. Studies have found that Coix lachryma-jobi seed is rich in vitamin E, which can keep skin shiny and delicate, eliminate acne, fade spots and improve skin color. It is a cheap and easily available beauty and skin care product.
