Many people like to eat water chestnut. We almost all know that water chestnut is the fruit of an aquatic plant, but now many people pay more attention to the sexual taste of food, especially in late summer and early autumn. People dare not eat food that is too cold or too warm. So, is water chestnut cool or enthusiastic?

1, raw and cold

Water chestnut is cold when eaten raw. Chinese medicine believes that water chestnut is cool and sweet, and it has a certain astringency when eaten raw. In fact, we generally don't recommend eating water chestnut raw. First, eating raw water chestnut is too cold, which will hurt the spleen and stomach. In beginning of autumn season, people's spleen and stomach are generally weak, and they are not suitable for raw food. Then eating raw water chestnut will infect parasites, which will easily cause some inflammation in the intestine.

2, cooked food temperature.

Although water chestnut itself is a cool fruit, the taste of water chestnut cooked food has changed. The food made will not only taste sweet, but also will not be astringent when eaten raw. It will not be cold, but will be warmer. Because the taste of cooked water chestnut has changed, cooked water chestnut also has more dietotherapy functions, such as helping spleen and qi. Eating water chestnut after beginning of autumn can tonify the spleen and stomach.

3. Cooked food is better

Through the above explanation, I believe you have a general understanding of the nature and taste of water chestnut, so we generally recommend you to eat cooked water chestnut. Cooked water chestnut is not only sweeter than raw water chestnut, but also more hygienic. The most important thing is that cooked water chestnut has the function of nourishing the spleen and stomach. In fact, after experiencing the heat in summer, it is best to eat something that nourishes the spleen and stomach at the beginning of autumn.
