The advantages of purple potato are: it can enhance immunity; Rich in vitamin B family, keeping skin elastic and preventing diseases; Soft and rich dietary fiber is helpful to relieve constipation and lose weight; At the same time, the glycemic index and calories are much lower than those of rice, which is beneficial to the adjuvant treatment of diabetic patients and lowering blood sugar. Purple sweet potatoes add a bright spot to potatoes, that is, anthocyanins, a super antioxidant component, can prevent the harm of free radicals to human body and prevent human body from aging. Of course, this comes not only from the skin, but also from our brains and various organs of the body.
I like it so much that I invite the following three nutrition experts to explain the benefits and secret recipe of purple potato.
Extremely delicious purple sweet potato osmanthus porridge: Zhao Yingmin, a national senior nutritionist.
I have always liked purple potato, not only because of its sweetness and slimming effect, but also because it has the biggest advantage that other potatoes can't match: it has charming purple, which is a famous super antioxidant anthocyanin, which is very suitable for me to protect my skin when I work on the computer every day.
My favorite is purple sweet potato and osmanthus porridge. Choose a purple potato, purple rice, tremella, a few red dates and a little osmanthus. The method is also very simple. First, the purple rice was washed and soaked in cold water for 2 hours, then the red dates were pitted, and the purple potatoes were peeled and cut into small pieces. Then pour the purple rice into the casserole, add water and boil the rice and purple potato with high fire, then turn off the fire until soft and cooked, add osmanthus fragrans and red dates and cook for 2 minutes.
This porridge looks very pleasing to the eye, with the sweetness of purple potato and the fragrance of osmanthus, which is very delicious. Not only can beauty beauty, but also can stimulate appetite, moisten intestines, detoxify and lose weight. Best for this season, warm and sweet. It should be noted that purple potato and purple rice are natural pigments, and because anthocyanins are easily soluble in water, there is no need to worry about the strong purple color, and purple rice should not be washed too much to avoid losing a lot of anthocyanins, the most important component.
Purple potato tremella decoction has a strong moisturizing effect: Gu Zhongyi, a nutritionist at Beijing Friendship Hospital.
I don't know when the number of people ordering purple potato nutritious meals in hospitals has increased. In fact, when it comes to anthocyanins, eggplant, blueberries, grapes, purple corn and other blue-purple fruits and vegetables are all high in content. On dietary fiber, spinach and oats all contain it and must not be "deified". But to tell you the truth, I also like to eat purple potatoes. For urbanites who are seriously short of fruits and vegetables, eating more purple potatoes is better than eating fried chicken legs. I recommend a purple potato and tremella soup.
It's really beautiful to drink a bowl of hot purple potato tremella soup in the autumn morning. It can be cooked the night before. After the tremella is soaked, add water and simmer for an hour, then add purple potatoes, red dates, pear slices and rock sugar, and simmer for half an hour and turn off the heat. Sticky and delicious.
Compared with white rice, this breakfast is very nutritious and reasonable. Tremella and purple potato are rich in carbohydrates. Eating it will make you feel full, but the calories are very low. In order to increase vitamins, I added red dates. Tremella itself has the effect of moistening dryness. To enhance the effect, I also added pear slices. When you drink soup, if it doesn't feel too sweet, you can add some brown sugar to replenish blood and warm up. Of course, you should also eat a boiled egg to supplement protein, and it would be more perfect to bring a fruit for breakfast when you go out.
Sweet potato pumpkin syrup keeps warm and strengthens the body: Guo, an expert in sub-health clinic of Nanjing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine.
When I mentioned purple potato, I remembered one thing. I went out two days ago and saw a long queue at the door of a small shop to buy drinks. On closer inspection, it turned out to be purple potato pumpkin syrup. The owner said that this is a new product specially launched to welcome Halloween. Have a taste. It's really delicious.
Pumpkin is the protagonist of Halloween every year, and now it is a strong alliance with purple potato partners. Pumpkin is not only an expert in iron supplementation, but also can prevent anemia and reduce the absorption of lead, especially suitable for women who often dye their hair and make up. The content of selenium in purple sweet potato is very rich, and anthocyanins are very helpful to improve human resistance.
In fact, you can make it yourself at home, and you know how much sugar to put. Peel pumpkin, remove seeds and cut into small pieces, and peel purple potato and cut into small pieces. Then put the pumpkin and purple potato pieces into the soup pot, add appropriate amount of water, boil over high fire and turn to low heat for stewing. When you see that the pumpkin and purple potato are ripe and sticky, add a little rock sugar or brown sugar until they melt. It's definitely the best warm drink this season.
