When it comes to eating pumpkin vines, I really think of the crisp and sweet tender stems and leaves of pumpkin in my hometown. We call them pumpkin tips. One of the health-preserving dishes is boiled green edamame soup with pumpkin tips. That taste and nutrition are really good, not only for women, but also for all people!
There are many paddy fields in rural mountainous areas in our mountainous areas, so most of the mountainous areas are mainly planted with corn, and many pumpkins are interplanted at the foot of the fields. Therefore, pumpkin vines have become the most common seasonal vegetable in summer in southern China.
Edible pumpkin vines refer to the tender stems and leaves at the end of pumpkin vines, and occasionally they will bring fresh pumpkin flowers and small pumpkins, which can be cooked together. In the early years, except for the old pumpkin in Xiaonanguahe, other stems and leaves were generally not cooked, and most of them were used to feed pigs.
actually, pumpkin vine is really a good thing for women, because it is said in Compendium of Materia Medica that pumpkin vine has the functions of nourishing liver qi, benefiting heart qi, benefiting lung qi and benefiting essence qi, and many women are accompanied by symptoms of physical weakness and qi deficiency, so it is very beneficial for women to eat pumpkin vine.
First of all, pumpkin vine is rich in trace elements such as calcium, potassium, selenium and zinc, and it also contains as many as 17 kinds of amino acids necessary for our human body. If women eat pumpkin vine, they can supplement their own qi and blood, regulate their own endocrine and beautify their skin.
Later, we found that pumpkin vine not only contains very rich crude protein, crude fiber, crude fat and carbohydrates, but also contains a variety of vitamins such as calcium, phosphorus, iron and potassium, and has the related effects of clearing away lung heat, dredging collaterals, calming the liver and stomach, moistening intestines and relaxing bowels, and so on. All of them have moved pumpkin vine as a delicacy to the dining table.
So now the price of pumpkin vines here is more expensive than that of pumpkins. Pumpkins can be bought for one or two yuan a catty, while pumpkin vines need five or six yuan a catty. More are not sold by the catty, but are valued and sold by the handfuls.
In addition, pumpkin vine has the functions of diuresis, detoxification, clearing intestines and lowering blood pressure. Therefore, women who regularly eat pumpkin vine can completely lose weight, cultivate self-esteem, eliminate stones in their own bodies and lower blood pressure.
It is also said that pumpkin vine is a favorite dish of all singers, because it also has the functions of clearing away lung heat, eliminating laryngitis and treating constipation, so women who often eat pumpkin vine can also play the role of keeping their voices young and tender.
personally, I still like pumpkin vine very much. The most important thing is that it can not only regulate the body's stomach and intestines, but also has the related effects of enriching blood, clearing away lung heat, lowering blood pressure and so on. It also has a certain regulating effect on women's irregular menstruation, and there are two kinds of them that are eaten most often.
one is boiled green edamame soup, which can completely clean the pumpkin vines, tear off the fluff on the vines, leave the tender leaves and remove the old stems, and completely keep the whiskers on the vines. After cleaning, cut them into small pieces for later use.
We ask the green edamame to clean them, then mash them into mud or beat them into soybean milk, and then we can put the pumpkin tips in a pot and boil them with clear water.
This dish is very delicious, and its nutritional value is also very high. It is suitable for both men and young people, and it is also a special health dish in our hometown. One is stir-frying, which can be fried with a little dried Chili and garlic, or scrambled eggs. It is crisp, sweet and delicious.
In fact, in rural areas, pumpkin vine is also a kind of Chinese herbal medicine. Among the remedies, pumpkin vine juice is often used to treat burns, and it is also used to treat small stones in the urinary system and irregular menstruation in women.
I remember that some people used pumpkin vines to quit smoking. After drying and crushing pumpkin vines, they cooked them with brown sugar. After drinking them for 7 days, they felt uncomfortable and didn't want to smoke. Of course, folk remedies belong to folk remedies after all. If you are sick, you still have to go to a regular hospital. You also have to have a certain willpower to quit smoking, right?
Also, if anyone is accidentally scalded or burned, pumpkin vines can be mashed and applied to the affected area, which also has a certain therapeutic effect on burns. Of course, pumpkin vines are cold, and people with spleen deficiency and cold should pay attention to eating less, otherwise their condition will be aggravated, which I hope you can understand.
