What are the traditional foods in the summer solar terms?
"Small summer heat, steaming and cooking", the arrival of small summer heat means that it is about to enter the dog days. At this time, the weather is hot, the human body sweats a lot and consumes a lot. Health care must pay attention to supplement physical strength, reduce fever and prevent heatstroke. At this time of year, people have the custom of eating three treasures-Monopterus albus, honey lotus root and mung bean sprouts.

1, fresh food (spicy food)

In the past, there was a folk custom of "eating new things in summer", that is, after the summer heat, farmers tasted new rice, ground the newly cut rice into rice, and prepared to worship the food of the five grain gods and ancestors, and then everyone tasted new wine. It is said that "eating new things" means "eating new things", which is the first new day after the summer festival. Cities generally buy a small amount of new rice for cooking in old rice, plus newly listed vegetables.

2. Eel

As the saying goes, "Monopterus albus participates in summer", and almost all the classic dishes in various places are made of Monopterus albus. Monopterus albus grows in mud holes on the seashore, and the most nourishing and delicious is summer eel, which lasts for one month before and after summer heat. In addition, this period is often the remission period of chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases. According to the theory of treating winter diseases in summer, nourishing with Monopterus albus at this time can play a more important role in nourishing the middle warmer, liver and spleen, expelling wind and dampness, and strengthening bones and muscles.

3. mung bean sprouts

In hot summer, cooking mung bean sprouts can clear away heat and toxic materials, induce diuresis and remove dampness. At the same time, mung bean sprouts are low in calories, but high in water and cellulose, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and have a laxative effect. It is recognized as a good slimming product in summer, a healthy vegetable for constipation patients, and also has good dietotherapy value for patients with esophageal cancer, gastric cancer and rectal cancer.

Health tip: Although mung bean sprouts have high edible value, they are also very particular about eating. Don't remove the mung bean skin casually. You know, this humble layer of mung bean skin has a stronger heat-clearing and detoxification effect than mung beans. In addition, mung bean sprouts are cold, and eating too much is easy to damage stomach gas. Therefore, people with chronic enteritis, spleen and stomach weakness and chronic gastritis should not eat more. However, when cooking with shredded ginger or pepper, or using some warm coriander and leek, it can well neutralize its coldness.

4. Lotus root

Many friends have had this experience: every summer, if you don't pay attention, you will have a nosebleed, and you can't find anything wrong when you go to the hospital. The doctor just told you: just eat more lotus roots. It didn't take long for the problem to disappear naturally. In fact, there is a certain causal relationship here. When the air is dry and the water supply is insufficient, eating lotus root often can cool blood, nourish yin and clear heat, and solving the trouble of nosebleeds can be said to be a piece of cake. For the elderly, lotus root is a good ingredient to nourish the spleen and stomach in summer. In addition, lotus root is also a health food for people with hypertension, liver disease, anorexia, iron deficiency anemia and malnutrition.

5, cucumber+boiled eggs

Some places in Shandong eat raw cucumbers and boiled eggs to cure the bitter summer, and eat eggs in the morning without eating other foods.

6. Eat jiaozi

There are folk proverbs in Futian, such as "buckwheat can grow on radish head and buckwheat can grow on buckwheat feet" and "buckwheat can grow on jiaozi head and eggs can be spread on pancake feet". Eating jiaozi on the head is a traditional custom. Fukui people have poor appetite and are often thinner than usual, which is called bitter summer. In traditional customs, jiaozi is a food to stimulate appetite.

Step 7 eat noodles

The custom of eating noodles in Fukui began at least in the Three Kingdoms period. Wei Chunqiu: "Fu Ri, wipe your sweat with a towel, look charming." The soup cake here is hot soup noodles. "Chronicle of Jingchu's Age" said: "The soup cake turns pale in June, which is called evil." May is an evil month, and June also touches the edge of the evil month, so it should also be "evil". You can also eat water and stir-fry noodles in dog days. The so-called fried noodles, is to fry the flour in a pot, and then add water and sugar to eat. This way of eating was common in the Han Dynasty since the Tang and Song Dynasties, but at that time, wheat was fried first, and then pasta was ground. Su Gong, a medical scientist in the Tang Dynasty, said that fried noodles can clear away heat, stop diarrhea and strengthen the intestines.

8. Eat mutton

Eating mutton while crouching is called "eating sheep". This custom can be traced back to the Yao and Shun period. There is a folk saying that "a bowl of soup in Pengcheng squats sheep without a doctor's prescription". People in Xuzhou love Fuyang, which is nothing more than a local folk song "Pick up girls on June 6th and make new wheat cake mutton soup".
