I believe many people have eaten asparagus, and the fresh and crisp taste is unforgettable. But do you know what asparagus tea is? Is it cooked with fresh asparagus and green tea?
Asparagus tea is made of fresh green asparagus, without adding any substance, and is refined by modern science and technology. This product successfully retains the original efficacy of asparagus, belongs to sugar-free food, and has no side effects after drinking all the year round. Asparagus tea can be divided into asparagus black tea and asparagus green tea. Asparagus tea contains a strong smell of asparagus. When you pour a cup of amber tea, the tea soup is pure and transparent, fragrant and refreshing. It is a green and healthy drink and the best in tea.
Nutritional value of asparagus tea
In western countries, asparagus has the reputation of "one of the top ten famous dishes". After being made into tea, not only the unique fragrance of asparagus is retained, but also the nutritional elements are not destroyed at all. Asparagus tea has high nutritional value, and regular drinking can make up for malnutrition caused by lack of vegetable intake.
The quality of protein, carbohydrates, multivitamins and trace elements contained in asparagus is better than that of ordinary vegetables, but the calories and carbohydrates are low, which is higher in protein. Asparagus also contains proper amounts of vitamins B 1, B2 and nicotinamide. Asparagus with green stems contains more vitamin A than white ones.
It is worth noting that canned asparagus contains a lot of sodium. People who have a sodium-averse diet (such as patients with hypertension, diabetes and renal failure) should avoid eating it, but they can eat fresh and frozen products or canned asparagus with low sodium content.
Asparagus is sweet and cold in nature, which has the function of clearing away heat and promoting urination. When eaten in summer, it has the function of cooling and reducing fire, and can relieve summer heat and quench thirst.
Asparagus is rich in folic acid, about 5 asparagus contains 100 micrograms of folic acid, which can meet 25% of the daily demand, so eating more asparagus can supplement folic acid.
Asparagus can promote the normalization of cell growth and prevent the spread of cancer cells. According to the research of the International Association of Cancer Patients, it has a special effect on bladder cancer, lung cancer and skin cancer.
Efficacy of asparagus tea
Asparagus tea is a pure natural healthy drink, which is not only fragrant and sweet, but also has certain health care functions. What are the effects of asparagus tea?
Asparagus tea contains biochemical components closely related to human health, which not only has pharmacological effects such as clearing away heat and toxic materials, promoting digestion, eliminating phlegm, removing tiredness and losing weight, clearing away heart fire, quenching thirst, reducing fire, improving eyesight, stopping dysentery and removing dampness, but also has certain pharmacological effects on modern diseases. The main component with pharmacological action in asparagus tea is asparagus soap. Every100g of asparagus tea contains rutin 1774. 1 mg and asparagus soap 7295 mg. Rutin and asparagus soap have extremely high medicinal value.
1, anti-cancer effect, can inhibit the activity of topoisomerase, directly kill cancer cells, destroy telomerase of cancer cells, make cancer cells unable to proliferate and divide and die, activate anti-cancer gene regulation signals, and conduct cell growth normalization.
2, the therapeutic effect on cardiovascular diseases, asparagus can inhibit high blood pressure, prevent arteriosclerosis, and reduce blood lipids and cholesterol.
3. Influence on human immune system. Asparagus can reduce CIC content of circulating immune complex, produce thymosin and promote T cell production, thus improving immune function and regulating immune mechanism.
4. Its anti-aging effect can reduce the contents of lipid peroxide and LOP in human organs, and increase the activity of superoxide dismutase SOD, thus delaying aging.
How to make asparagus tea
Many people have drunk black tea and green tea. How can asparagus used for cooking become "tea" for brewing? I believe many people will be curious. How to make asparagus tea? Is the production process of asparagus tea the same as that of ordinary green tea?
1, process flow
Picking raw materials, spreading and drying, roller deactivation, air cooling, hot air secondary deactivation, rolling, blank spreading and cooling, hot air drying, finished products and packaging.
2. Key points of operation
(1) Raw material picking: the length is 3 ~ 3.5 cm, and the cutting length requires high uniformity.
(2) Spreading and drying: Concentrate the picked raw materials, spread them out and spread them in a room with good ventilation and convection conditions. Generally, bamboo mats or plastic films are used as the ground bedding to dry the surface moisture in a natural state.
(3) Roller de-enzyming: the raw materials spread and dried are placed in a roller de-enzyming machine for first pass de-enzyming, and the temperature of roller de-enzyming is controlled at 85-95 DEG C..
(4) Air cooling: A blowing facility is set at the blanking port, and the blowing will continue for 3 ~ 5min after blanking.
(5) Secondary enzyme fixation by hot air: the air-cooled raw materials are placed in the sieve tray of a hot air roaster, and hot air at 200-250 DEG C is introduced, while drying, the raw materials are shaken and dried until 70-80% of the raw materials are dry, so that the secondary enzyme fixation is completed.
(6) Kneading: it is carried out in a bamboo tray, and the raw materials with moderate heat dissipation are gripped with both hands, pushed forward, and moderately pressurized by wrist force until the stem juice overflows slightly and is moist.
(7) Blank spreading and cooling: the kneaded wet blank is shaken in time and evenly spread in a cooking plate, so that it can continue to emit hot air and part of water in a natural state, so that the water in the stem is evenly dispersed and is convenient for drying.
(8) Hot air drying: It is the same as the hot air secondary enzyme fixation operation. When it is crushed by hand, it can be stopped.
(9) Finished product: the water content of finished product is 8 ~10%, and the yield is18 ~ 20%.
(10) packaging: package immediately after the heat dissipation temperature is about 45℃ to prevent the finished product from absorbing moisture and easily causing mildew.
