Read: Xiaoxue is the 20th solar term in the twenty-four solar terms and the second solar term in winter. It is a solar term that reflects precipitation and temperature. It does not mean that there will be a small amount of rain in this solar term. Snow, so the arrival of light snow means that the weather will become colder and the precipitation will gradually increase. Therefore, during the light snow solar term, we must eat more foods that can enhance immunity, eat healthy and appetizing, so that we can be more Nice time to spend the light snow. For example, during the annual light snow solar term, I will not forget to give "3 white and 3 red" foods to my family, because these 6 kinds of food are not only good for the body but also taste the most delicious when eaten during the light snow season. During the light snow period, I will eat three less things for my family, because eating too much of these three things is particularly bad for the body. Next, I will introduce these 9 kinds of food to you in detail. I hope that during the Xiaoxue solar term, you can eat according to the season, so that you and your family can survive the winter smoothly.

The first white: radish

Radish is also known as "little ginseng" because it is rich in plant protein, vitamin C, folic acid, various trace elements, etc. and other nutrients. Eating more radishes during light snow can not only enhance the body's immunity, but also have the effect of removing dryness and promoting body fluids. During light snow, stewing pork ribs or large bones with radish is not only delicious, but also has the highest nutritional value.

In the Jiangnan area, after a light snowfall, every household has the habit of hammering glutinous rice cakes, because starting from the light snow, the rain will become more frequent. The glutinous rice is steamed and beaten into glutinous rice cakes, which can be eaten as breakfast or lunch. Especially fried glutinous rice cakes dipped in brown sugar are often eaten by women and have the effect of nourishing blood and replenishing qi.

The third white: Longan

Because starting from the light snow, there will be more rain and the temperature will drop rapidly. At this time, we must eat more hot fruits, such as longan. This is the white fruit that I most recommend everyone to eat, because longan is not only rich in fructose, but also contains a variety of trace elements. Eating 5-10 longan appropriately every day is particularly good for the body.

3 reds

The first red: bacon and sausages

Many people pickle bacon and stuff sausages at the beginning of winter. During the light snow solar term, It has been completely dried in the sun, and the light snow season is also the time to eat sausages and bacon, because the bacon and sausages at this time are not only fragrant, but also have the best taste. Steam them and eat them directly, and the fragrance will be the best. Especially when it rains or snows, eating it dipped in chili oil can warm the body instantly.

The second red: red sugarcane

During the Xiaoxue solar term, I will buy red sugarcane for my family to eat every other day, because the family can sit together and chew sugarcane. Make the family atmosphere better. Moreover, sugar cane is also rich in fructose, multivitamins, iron and other nutrients. The combination of these substances has the effect of nourishing blood and replenishing qi. People of all ages are suitable to eat red sugar cane.

The light snow season is when the temperature drops the fastest. Whether it is morning, evening or noon, if you can drink a bowl of steaming mutton soup, This will warm your body quickly.

3 items

The first one: dry goods

During the light snow season, I still suggest that you eat less fried dry goods such as melon seeds, peanuts, etc., because the light snow Although there is a lot of rain and snow during this season, the air is still relatively dry. If you eat too much dry food at this time, it is easy to get angry.

The second item: smelly food

During the light snow season, some people will pickle some sauerkraut, bacon, and cured fish again. However, because they do not control the amount of salt, the pickling will become stinky. Prepared food smells bad, and you must not eat pickled food that smells bad, because this type of food contains a lot of nitrite and germs. Eating smelly food will not only cause diarrhea, but is also very harmful to the body. unfavorable.

The third item: Ginger

As the saying goes, "Eat radish in winter and ginger in summer." This is because radish is a cooling food and should theoretically be eaten in summer, but the heat in summer exists in On the surface, the body is actually afraid of cold, so you should eat ginger to dispel stomach cold in summer. Moreover, cold air in winter mostly manifests on the body surface and heat accumulates in the stomach, so radish should be eaten in winter. Therefore, during the light snow season, we must eat less ginger.
