Methods to distinguish cold and hot foods:

1. Color

The color is green and the food is green. Cold, reddish in color and warm in nature. Green plants are close to the ground and absorb ground moisture, so they are cold in nature, such as mung beans, green vegetables, etc. Reddish-colored plants, such as peppers, dates, pomegranates, etc., although they grow close to the ground, their fruits can absorb more sunlight, so they are hotter in nature.

2. Taste

Bitter and sour foods are cold, while sweet and pungent foods are hot. Bitter and sour foods are cold in nature, such as bitter melon, bitter vegetables, taro, plums, papaya, etc. Those with pungent and sweet tastes, such as garlic, persimmons, pomegranates, etc., are hot in nature because they have been exposed to sunlight for a long time.

3. Growth environment

Aquatic plants tend to be colder, while terrestrial plants tend to be hotter. Lotus root, kelp, seaweed, etc. are cold in nature. Foods that grow on land, such as peanuts, potatoes, yams, ginger, etc., are hot in nature because they have been buried in the soil for a long time and have less water.

4. Geographical location of growth

Shady foods tend to be colder, while sun-facing plants tend to be hotter. Foods that are shady and facing north absorb more moisture and rarely see sunlight, so they tend to be cold in nature, such as mushrooms and fungus. Foods that grow in the air or have a positive orientation, such as sunflowers, chestnuts, etc., are hot in nature because they receive sufficient light.

5. Growing Season

Food in winter and summer is cold, while food in spring and autumn is hot. Food grown in winter has a cold nature due to the heavy cold, such as Chinese cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, white radish, winter melon, etc. Foods grown in summer are also cold in nature because they receive more rain, such as watermelons, cucumbers, pears, etc. Spring and autumn foods such as apples and oranges tend to be hot.
