Similarities and differences between roosters and hens

Eating chicken is not only delicious, but also nutritious, which is called "the source of energy". It has won people's favor because of its high protein and low fat, and has become the first choice tonic for patients with physical weakness after illness. However, people often pay more attention to the variety and freshness of chicken when choosing chicken, and don't care much about the sex of chicken.

Hens bear the heavy responsibility of raising children. They store more nutrition than "chicken father". Professor Yang Li from Xiyuan Hospital of Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine said that Chinese medicine believes that roosters and hens have different therapeutic effects and should be selected as needed. Rooster is male, which mainly has the function of strengthening yang and invigorating qi, and the warming and tonifying effect is stronger. It has a good auxiliary effect on frequent urination, oligospermia and chills caused by kidney-yang deficiency, and is more suitable for young and middle-aged men. Patients with hypertension, stroke, cancer, gout and wind-heat cold are not suitable for eating more because of excessive internal heat.

In the way of eating, hens are generally used to stew soup, and cocks are suitable for quick frying. Because hens have a lot of fat, the nutrients in meat are easily dissolved in soup, and the stewed chicken soup tastes more delicious. On the contrary, the cock's meat is tight and it is difficult to make thick soup. People prefer delicate "chicken" when eating cock, so it is more important to fry it quickly to keep it fresh and delicious.
