Benefits of eating dumplings on the first day of the meal

There is a saying in the north, "Dumplings on the first day, noodles on the second day, and eggs on the pancakes on the third day." It is a traditional custom to eat dumplings during the dog days, because during the dog days, people's appetite is not good and they cannot eat. In the traditional customs of the Chinese people, dumplings are an appetizing food.

Why should Toufu eat dumplings? In the past, the time of entering the ambush coincided with the wheat harvest being less than a month old. Every family had food, so they took advantage of this time to enjoy delicious food. There is also a saying that "the food is not as delicious as dumplings", so dumplings naturally became the first choice. Nowadays, dumplings are no longer a rare thing. People can eat them anytime they want, without having to wait for "Tou Fu", "Winter Solstice" and "New Year's Eve".

Dumplings are shaped like ingots, and "fu" has the same pronunciation as "福", so "toufu" dumplings are also said to be "ingot treasures blessings". In the hot summer, people tend to have a bad appetite and cannot eat, and dumplings are a traditional appetizer to satisfy the craving. Therefore, people eat dumplings in "Toufu" in the hope of spending the summer safely. What's more important is that eating dumplings "Tou Fu" and then drinking the hot original soup to make you sweat can dispel the "poisonous fire" in midsummer and make up for the physical exhaustion in the sultry weather.

In traditional culture, when eating dumplings in "Toufu", the emphasis is not on eating meat fillings, but on vegetarian fillings, such as mixing mushrooms, lettuce or cucumbers and other ingredients into fillings. The taste is light but tastes delicious. Fragrant. And today, vegetarian dumplings are also represented as a healthy diet. Natural vegetable raw materials contain a large amount of various nutrients needed by the human body.
