However, if we want to give full play to the nutritional value and dietotherapy function of apples, we can't fully realize it just by washing apples, peeling them and eating them raw. So apples must eat different patterns, and at the same time, they can bring surprises to your body. Below, Bian Xiao will give you a detailed introduction of several fancy ways to eat apples, and learn quickly.
Boiled apple
Cooking apples can soften pectin and dietary fiber in apples, making the softened apples more conducive to human absorption. Pectin in apples can stimulate the growth of probiotics in the intestine. Therefore, ripe apples have a good conditioning effect on the stomach, which can increase intestinal peristalsis and improve constipation.
Because the boiled apple tastes soft, it is more suitable for children and the elderly.
The practice of boiling apples:
1, peel the apple first, and then slice it.
2. Prepare a casserole, then add a proper amount of water, then boil the water and pour in the cut apples.
3. Then cook for 3-4 minutes, then turn to low heat, add a piece of rock sugar about 30 grams, stew together for about 15 minutes, then turn off the fire and cover the pot to stew.
4, take the pot, while it is hot, even eat apples with soup.
In addition to cooking apples with rock sugar, you can also cook apples with pork, which not only enriches nutrition, but also inhibits cholesterol in blood and eliminates the fishy smell of pork.
Steamed apples
Steamed apples can stop diarrhea. Chinese medicine believes that apples have the functions of strengthening the spleen and regulating the stomach, moistening the intestines and stopping diarrhea. Apple is rich in tannic acid, which can inhibit intestinal secretion and reduce the water in stool. So steaming apples helps to relieve diarrhea.
The practice of steaming apples:
1. Peel the apple and rinse it with water.
2. Then cut the apple in half, remove the pedicle and dig out the core.
3. Then cut the apple into small pieces, put it in a small bowl, and add appropriate amount of rock sugar and red dates according to personal taste.
4. Steam on a steamer. After the boiler boils, steam on high fire for 5 minutes and turn off the fire. Take it out and let it cool.
Baked apple
Apples can also be baked and eaten. It is estimated that many people didn't expect it. Apples baked and eaten not only have a unique flavor, but also can lose weight.
This is mainly because the molecular weight of pectin in baked apples will be reduced, but its activity will be greatly improved, which is 9 times higher than that of raw apples, and pectin can inhibit cholesterol and neutral fat. Eating baked apples can speed up metabolism and reduce body fat, thus achieving the effect of losing weight.
So how do you bake it? Specific practices:
Take an apple, wash it with the skin and cut it into 4 pieces, then remove the core, put it on a plate and put it in the microwave oven. After heating for 5 minutes, it can be eaten with meals or alone.
Baked apples are soft and sweet with unique flavor, but don't be greedy. Eat a baked apple before dinner every day, and then eat some lean meat and vegetables to lose weight.
In addition to the simple baking method above, there is an upgraded version below.
1. Take an apple, three red dates, two walnuts, a proper amount of raisins and a proper amount of medlar.
2. After opening the apple, dig the core and the pulp in the middle.
3. Cut the prepared dried fruits such as jujube and walnut kernel into pieces.
4. Then, pour the pieces of preserved fruit into the apple, cover the cut apple cover and seal the apple with a toothpick.
5. Put it in a microwave oven and heat it with medium-high fire for 15 minutes.
6. Time is up, take out the apples, uncover the "fruit cover" and enjoy the delicious food.
This upgraded baked apple is not only delicious, but also has many nutritional and health-care effects such as losing weight, whitening and rejuvenating skin, enriching blood and nourishing kidney.
In a word, apples are very nutritious, but it is difficult to give full play to their efficacy when eaten raw. Therefore, by cooking, steaming, baking and other different ways, the therapeutic effect of apples is more prominent. Of course, the premise of a good way to eat is to choose high-quality apples, which are not only satisfying, but also more nutritious and healthier.
