Snakeskin: the fruit of strength with high potassium and low sodium
Snakeskin is produced in tropical areas such as Indonesia, and its brown skin is covered with a dense layer of scales, like snakeskin, so it is called "snakeskin" figuratively. The pectin and potassium content of snakeskin fruit ranks first among fruits, which is very beneficial to the body.
Snakeskin nuts are like garlic, with about 3-4 petals. The flesh is white and yellow, and the flesh is compact, similar to chestnut. Snakeskin not only has the crispness of apples, but also has the aroma of pineapples. The smell is rich and fragrant, sweet and sour.
Snakeskin is rich in organic acids and can be used for beauty and skin care. Local girls in Indonesia regard it as a "beauty fruit". Snakeskin fruit is rich in phospholipids and has the function of strengthening the brain, which is also called "memory fruit".
Snakeskin is also called "the fruit of strength" by Indonesians. This is because the temperature in tropical areas is generally high, and potassium in human body is easily lost with urine and sweat. If the body is short of potassium, it will be very tired and can't lift its spirits. Eating a few potassium-rich snakeskin fruits at this time will make your body feel strong. Going out for an outing in spring is a great activity and easy to sweat. It's nice to bring some snakeskin as picnic fruit.
In addition, people with heavy diet and patients with hypertension are also suitable for eating more snakeskin. Excessive sodium intake for a long time will damage blood vessels and increase the risk of hypertension. The rich potassium in snakeskin can be excreted by combining with free sodium, thus reducing the harm of high sodium to the body and maintaining the stability of blood pressure.
Ginseng fruit: low-sugar and multi-dimensional C slimming fruit.
Speaking of ginseng fruit, people will think of the shape of "Fat Alfred" in The Journey to the West. Authentic ginseng fruit is golden yellow when it matures, resembling a human heart, fragrant and elegant, smooth and refreshing.
Wang Tao, a national second-class nutritionist, said that ginseng fruit is rich in vitamin C, which can enhance human immunity and relieve symptoms such as colds and rhinitis. Spring suggests that people with poor resistance and easy to catch a cold can eat it often. Because elemental selenium has a good anti-cancer effect, eating ginseng fruit often is beneficial to cardiovascular health, enhancing human immunity, and also helping to resist aging, lower blood pressure and blood sugar.
Ginseng fruit pulp is light yellow and smooth, refreshing and juicy. Its skin is purplish and contains a small amount of anthocyanin, which is more nutritious if eaten with skin.
Not only can it be eaten as fruit, but also ginseng fruit can be eaten as a dish. Fried pork slices with ginseng fruit is a special dish. Among them, vitamin C can promote the absorption of iron in lean meat, at the same time, it can also promote protein in meat to synthesize collagen, which is helpful to whiten skin and improve skin elasticity. It is a beauty dish for women who love beauty.
Ginseng fruit has low sugar content, light taste and not rich sweetness. Although it is not popular with ordinary people in taste, its characteristics of high nutrition and low sugar can just meet the needs of obese people, diabetics and dieters. Ginseng fruit can be selected as a daily fruit.
Loquat: a good product for moistening lung
Xiaojinguo tastes sweet and sour. Walking into the fruit supermarket, loquat with strong aroma can attract people at once. The skin of loquat is yellow and waxy, so it is also called yellow wax pill. Peel off the skin, and the pulp inside is fragrant, soft and juicy, sweet and sour.
Loquat, known as the "king of fruits", is a kind of fruit with low energy and high nutrition (low energy content, 39 kilocalories per 100 grams), which contains 8 kinds of amino acids and various organic acids needed by human body. The pulp of loquat also contains amygdalin with anticancer activity.
Loquat is a good ingredient for moistening lung. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that "loquat can moisten the five internal organs and nourish the heart and lungs", and loquat leaves can also clear away lung heat and dry cough. Chuanbei loquat cream is made from loquat leaves as the main raw material. Eating loquat when you have a cold and dry cough, four or five a day, can play a certain role in moistening and nourishing the lungs, relieving cough and resolving phlegm.
Loquat is very particular about its selection and consumption. I generally like to choose fruits with orange peel, complete villi (behind the ear), large and symmetrical heads, which tastes good. In addition, the ripe loquat peel and the stalk of the head are easy to remove, but there are many hairs and stolen goods at the tail, so it must be cleaned before eating. Note that fresh loquat is not easy to preserve. Don't buy too much at a time.
Yaomang: A Good Helper for Skin Care
The color is Huang Cancan, the size of an egg, with a sharp end and a round end, and the juice is particularly sweet. Spring has come, and mangoes have arrived as scheduled. There is a kind of small mango called Yaomang, which is especially sweet.
"It may be named because it is small and slender, which reminds people of the slender waist of willows." Song Xin, a nutritionist at Chaoyang Hospital, explained. Mango is known as the king of tropical fruits, which tastes sweet, and the taste of small waist mango is one of the best in mango family. Although there are a lot of mango fibers, the waist awn tastes particularly delicate and smooth, and with a strong sweetness, it really makes people want to stop.
"Just from the color of mango, we know that it is rich in carotene." Song Xin said that carotene can be converted into vitamin A in the body, which not only protects the eyes, but also benefits the skin. Don't miss the lady who loves beauty. Many people will feel itchy at the corners of their mouths or throats after eating mangoes, which is an allergy. Song Xin said that sliced mango meat can be cut into small pieces to eat, so that the mango juice that causes allergies will not flow to the corners of the mouth. If your throat is allergic, you can drink boiled water quickly.
Wang Jing, a national second-class nutritionist, said that you can choose some fruits you like and mix them with mango and yogurt to make a fruit salad, because mango can improve the taste, so it will taste better.
Strawberry: moistening lung and promoting fluid production
Speaking of strawberries, Sun, chairman of china health care association Food Nutrition and Safety Professional Committee, was full of praise. "Say this attractive red, without its anthocyanin content. No wonder it is the' antioxidant champion' before the emergence of blueberries. " Moreover, the vitamin C content of strawberries is not low, with 47 mg per 100 g, which is higher than that of oranges. In addition, strawberries are also rich in organic acids, pectin and so on, which can really be said to be the "comprehensive champion" in fruits.
Strawberries should be of moderate size, uniform color and moderate hardness. Too big strawberries, especially those with cracks, are likely to use too much bulking agent. Large green or yellow strawberries are not good, and the anthocyanin content is relatively low.
Chinese medicine believes that strawberry is sweet and cool, and has the functions of moistening lung, promoting fluid production, diuresis and detumescence. People with lung fire and unfavorable urination may wish to eat more appropriately. But people with poor gastrointestinal function should not eat more. Old people with bad teeth can also eat strawberries with a beater or spread the paste on a piece of bread. Mothers can also make strawberry salads and strawberry pies for their children.
Small Citrus: Vitamin Supplement
Huang, a professor in the Department of Nutrition and Food Hygiene, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, said that citrus fruit is a kind of fruit that everyone likes very much. They are rich in vitamins A, B 1, B2, C, carotene and other vitamins, as well as rich in organic acids (citric acid, etc. ), can effectively regulate human metabolism. But pay attention to eating oranges in moderation. Eating too much may lead to yellow pigmentation on the skin. In addition, oranges are rich in organic acids and should not be eaten on an empty stomach. Eating on an empty stomach will stimulate the gastric mucosa and make the spleen and stomach full of acid.
Lemon: A Natural Beauty Product
Lemons are generally not eaten raw because of their sour taste, but as side dishes or condiments. Lemon has the reputation of "king of western food" and can be used for cold dishes, main courses and drinks.
Lijun Wei, a national senior nutrition caterer, said that the special aroma of lemon can remove the fishy smell of meat and aquatic products and make the meat more tender. When eating fried cod, squeeze out lemon juice and drop it on the cod, and drop 4~5 drops on the cod the size of your palm. Cod meets lemon juice, not only the smell is gone, but also the meat is more delicious; Drop a little lemon juice on grilled fish and chicken wings, which tastes more fragrant; You can also chop the pulp of lemon and mix it with seafood soy sauce to make juice and eat it with seafood.
Lemon is rich in vitamin C and is a natural beauty product. A glass of lemonade every day can whiten and moisturize the skin. However, it should be noted that lemon tastes sour, and people with gastric ulcer and excessive gastric acid secretion should eat less lemon.
Water chestnut: the fruit of moistening dryness
Water chestnut, known as underground Sydney and Jiangnan ginseng, is a good fruit for moistening dryness. In early spring, the weather is still relatively dry, so you might as well eat some water chestnut. Water chestnut skin is thin, the meat is crisp and juicy, and the fragrance is refreshing. It is a good food for clearing away lung dryness. According to Compendium of Materia Medica, water chestnut has the effects of reducing fire, nourishing lung and cooling liver, promoting digestion and resolving phlegm. The five-juice beverage in traditional Chinese medicine has the function of removing dryness and relieving cough. Fresh water chestnut, lotus root, sugarcane, Ophiopogon japonicus and reed rhizome are used to juice together. You can also drink juice at home, the variety is uncertain, and you can also choose ingredients such as Sydney and radish.
Another reason why water chestnut is called "the fruit of moistening dryness" is that the crude protein, resistant starch and dietary fiber in water chestnut can promote large intestine peristalsis, regulate gastrointestinal function and prevent constipation and dry stool. Eleocharis tuberosa is also a food with high potassium and low sodium, which is beneficial to reduce hypertension and diuresis.
However, water chestnut should be cooked as much as possible, and there may be a risk of infection with ginger leaf worms if eaten raw (water chestnut, water bamboo, water chestnut and other aquatic plants are easy to parasitize ginger leaf worms, so try not to eat them raw. However, the metacercaria of Fasciola zingiberensis is not heat-resistant and dry, and it can die after being boiled in boiling water for one or two minutes or exposed to the sun for one day. Hang the water chestnut, dry it in the sun, peel it, and scald it in boiling water 1 min, which is safe and secure.
There are many ways to cook and eat water chestnut. Boiled water chestnut is a good natural snack. If eaten as a vegetable, it can replace part of the staple food because of its high starch content (the calorie of three or four water chestnuts is about 60 kilocalories, which is equivalent to one or two rice). Sliced fried food can also be cut into pieces and stewed. Many people also like to cut water chestnut into diced balls or stuffed buns and dumplings, which are tender and crisp; You can also make water chestnut cakes, rose water chestnut cake and other snacks; Water chestnut boiled water is also good to drink. Boil soup with Sydney, sugarcane and lotus root. It tastes good and nourishes the body.
