Precautions for drinking mung bean soup? ：
1, don't cook mung bean soup in an iron pot?
When cooking mung bean soup, it is most inappropriate to use an iron pot. Most of the active ingredients of mung beans are in the skin of mung beans. After the flavonoids in mung bean skin interact with metal ions, it may form a dark complex, which will turn the color of mung bean soup black and cause gastrointestinal discomfort and indigestion after eating. Therefore, it is ideal to cook mung bean soup in casserole. ?
2. Boil mung bean soup without alkali?
Mung bean is rich in vitamin B, which is an important part of mung bean's summer-cooling characteristics and can make up for the nutritional loss when sweating. Moreover, alkali will seriously destroy vitamin B, and at the same time, the flavonoid antioxidant components in mung beans will be lost due to the addition of alkali, which will lead to structural changes and yellow color. Therefore, it is best not to add alkali to mung bean soup. If you want to make the soup sticky, consider adding a small amount of oatmeal or glutinous rice to "thicken". ?
