June is already halfway through, and with the summer breeze, the summer solstice has quietly arrived this year.
Regarding the fourth solar term of summer, the folk saying is: after eating summer solstice noodles, one day will be shorter.
But the wisdom of these ancients, in addition to being used for eating noodles during the Summer Solstice, actually also has a lot to pay attention to when eating.
So for those of us who pay attention to health preservation, what other ingredients can we eat in season?
The following is a guide to show you what foods you should eat during the Summer Solstice!
? A treasure of the summer solstice - the first dish + cabbage. Cabbage is one of the seasonal vegetables in summer, especially purple cabbage, which has a higher anthocyanin content.
Cabbage around the summer solstice is cheap, delicious, refreshing and delicious. It has a protective effect on the stomach when eaten cold. Who wouldn’t love the crispy texture?
? The two treasures of the Summer Solstice - the first melon + pumpkin. The benefits of eating pumpkin during the summer solstice are particularly amazing, because the diet before and after the summer solstice is very different, so you should choose milder fruits and vegetables.
It is recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica that pumpkin is warm in nature and sweet in taste. It enters the spleen and stomach meridian and can tonify the middle and replenish qi.
When the weather is hot, eating some pumpkin or drinking some pumpkin soup can replenish excessive physical energy and increase resistance.
? The three treasures of the summer solstice - the first leaf + fungus. When many people see fungus, they will subconsciously think that it is the common black fungus in life. In fact, the difference between fungus and black fungus is huge.
It is just because the leaves are approximately round and similar in appearance to black fungus, and the taste is plump and slimy, a bit like fungus.
Moreover, this green vegetable contains a large amount of chlorophyll, has a fragrant taste, and tastes crisp and refreshing.
Although everyone has their own taste preferences and everyone is different, there is no doubt about the nutrition of fungus.
Because the weather will become hot and humid around the summer solstice, it is perfect to stir-fry a plate of fungus and eat it with your family.
Fungus contains elements such as calcium and iron. It also has the effects of clearing away heat, detoxifying, smoothing the intestines, and cooling blood. Especially the mucus rich in the leaves is of great benefit in fighting and preventing cancer.
? There are many theories about the summer solstice. In addition to the natural situation of long days and short nights, there is also a traditional folk saying of "sacrifice to the sky during the winter solstice and the earth during the summer solstice."
So those corresponding Summer Solstice delicacies, such as Summer Solstice noodles or Summer Solstice soup, are a must.
As the saying goes, "The summer solstice begins with three gengs," and the weather will get hotter and hotter, so it is our duty to clean up and nourish the diet.
As for those bitter and cool foods, in addition to being eaten in season, they actually also have a beautiful meaning, which is to wish for good health.
Tomorrow is the summer solstice, whether you have money or not, don’t forget to eat these little summer solstice treasures. They are seasonal and nutritious, so don’t miss them if you come across them.
No matter how life goes, we must believe that food will never let us down.
