Mung beans are cool and sweet. Drinking them at ordinary times can relieve summer heat and quench thirst. Because of its diuretic effect, drinking food or drugs after poisoning can also remove toxins from the body, and it also has a certain curative effect on heat swelling, heat thirst, heat dysentery, carbuncle, pox poison, macula and so on. The heat-clearing power of mung beans lies in the skin, and the detoxification power is included. Therefore, if you just want to cool off the summer heat, wash the mung beans when cooking soup, and boil them with high fire for about 10 minutes. Be careful not to cook them for a long time. The soup cooked in this way is green and clear. There is no need to eat beans together when drinking, so you can achieve a good summer effect. If it's to clear away heat and detoxify, it's best to boil the beans. This kind of mung bean soup is turbid in color, which has a poor effect of relieving summer heat, but has a stronger effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. References:
