Professor Zeng Liangju from tongji hospital, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, said that the theory of traditional Chinese medicine holds that blood is stored in the liver in spring, and the rich iron in red dates is a good food for enriching blood and nourishing the liver. Most people are used to eating red dates raw after washing, but red dates are relatively humid, which is easy to cause excessive gastric acid secretion, especially for people with bad stomach. You may wish to steam the red dates, which is easier to digest and will not lose nutrition. He reminded that steamed red dates should not be eaten more, about five or six a day.
