1, when the fruit is eaten raw
Horseshoe can be eaten as fruit, but it should be cleaned. Because horseshoe grows in soil, its epidermis contains more bacteria, so it must be cleaned before eating. The horseshoe eaten in this way is sweet and refreshing, which can retain the original flavor and nutrition of horseshoe and bring more benefits to our health.
When vegetables are cooked and eaten.
Horseshoe can also be eaten as vegetables. Horseshoe is cooked with angelica and coix seed. First, slice Angelica sinensis, put it in a pot filled with clear water and cook for half an hour. Then, pick up the residue of Angelica sinensis, and put the chopped water chestnut and coix seed into the pot to cook. When the porridge of angelica and coix seed is not so hot, it is actually difficult to add bees according to your own taste.
To sum up, in fact, horseshoe is rich in nutrition, but it is not suitable for people with blood stasis or even cold kidneys, otherwise it will easily aggravate the impact on health, especially those with cold body. Horseshoe itself is cold, and eating horseshoe will aggravate the cold situation. Therefore, horseshoes are good, but not everyone can eat them. People who are suitable for eating are good for health.
