The cold and heat of food can be distinguished from its color, taste and growing environment.
1, color
The color is green and the sex is cold.
Red in color and warm in sex.
Green plants are close to the ground and absorb the moisture on the ground, so they are cold, such as mung beans and green vegetables. Plants with reddish colors, such as pepper, jujube and pomegranate, grow close to the ground, but their fruits can absorb more sunlight, so they are hot.
2. Taste

Sweet and pungent food fever
Bitter and sour foods are cold, such as bitter gourd, bitter vegetable, taro, plum and papaya. Those with pungent and sweet taste are hot because they have been exposed to sunlight for a long time, such as garlic, persimmon and pomegranate.
3. Land and water
Aquatic plants are cold.
Terrestrial plants are hot.
Lotus root, kelp and laver are cold. And foods that grow on land, such as peanuts, potatoes, yam, ginger, etc., are hot because they are buried in the soil for a long time and have less water.
4. Orientation

Xiangyang plants are hot.
Food with the shade facing north absorbs heavy moisture and rarely sees sunlight, so it is cold, such as mushrooms and fungus. However, foods that grow in the air or are positive, such as sunflowers and chestnuts, are hot because they receive enough light.
5. Season
Food cold in winter and summer
Food fever in spring and autumn
Foods that grow in winter are cold because of the heavy cold, such as Chinese cabbage, mushrooms, white radish and wax gourd. Foods that grow in summer are also cold because of more rain, such as watermelons, cucumbers and pears. Apples, oranges and other foods are hot in spring and autumn.
