Mung bean has high medicinal value, sweet and cool taste, and can clear away heat and detoxify. Mung beans are divided into skin and meat. Cold skin, rich in potassium ions and calcium ions, can quickly replenish water and clear heat. Mung bean meat is rich in globulin, in which lysine and leucine have detoxification effect. Therefore, flowering mung beans pay more attention to detoxification, while non-flowering mung beans have a better effect of relieving summer heat.

In hot summer, we always feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, sweating and signs of heatstroke. You can drink some mung bean soup at this time. Mung beans used to cool off summer heat do not bloom, and only need to be boiled for more than ten minutes to dissolve the nutrients on the mung bean skin in water. We only drink soup and don't eat mung beans (mung beans smell very strong and are not delicious at this time). This is because mung bean skin is cold, which can solve the high temperature after heatstroke, make it more diuretic and treat summer heat. The longer the cooking time, the more mung beans bloom. At this time, mung beans will bloom and eat together with mung beans, which has a good detoxification effect on lead poisoning, drunkenness or other substance poisoning. In the early years, some farmers ate pesticides by mistake, and they would first drink a big bowl of mung bean soup to relieve their illness. Workers who work under the mine all the year round and are exposed to too much biogas will also drink mung bean porridge every day to play a role in detoxification and health care.

In summer, if you want to drink a bowl of mung bean soup for clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, directly boil the water in a boiling pot, add the washed mung beans, and cook for 10- 15 minutes on medium and small fire, and the soup will turn light green. Clear soup is cold to eat, clearing away heat and reducing fire, refreshing the brain. Everyone can make several more at a time, which is convenient for refrigeration. Drink a bowl when you are thirsty, and you won't be afraid of heatstroke in summer. Don't throw away the mung bean soup, add a handful of millet and continue to cook porridge on low heat until the mung bean blooms and the porridge becomes sticky and edible. Mung bean porridge can not only detoxify, but also promote appetite, protect the liver and reduce the three highs.

Finally, I would like to remind you that mung beans belong to cold food, so women in physiological period and people with poor spleen and stomach should try not to drink too much mung bean soup, otherwise it will do some harm to the body.
