Curling cool wind moving, mournful cold dew zero. Unbeknownst to us, we have already ushered in the cold dew season, and as the cold grows, everything is gradually depressing. This also marks that the weather turns from cool to cold.

From the White Dew Festival, geese start to fly south, and when it comes to the Cold Dew, it is the last batch, and the ancients called the later arrivals "Bin". Birds into the sea into clams, flying things into submerged things, this is the ancient people on the perception of cold wind a serious statement. In the natural world, plants and trees bloom because of the abundance of Yang energy, and when it comes to cold dew, all flowers wither, but only chrysanthemums bloom because of the abundance of Yin energy, "the city is full of golden armor", written in the bloom of chrysanthemums in the cold dew season.

Although the cold dew temperature is low, but compared to the cold winter, but also pleasant climate, so very suitable for climbing high and looking far, which is also the folklore of the cold dew festival. As the weather gets colder and colder, flowers and trees gradually wither, the ancients called it "resignation green", is to eat flower cake, meaning in the future, step by step.

Another big food folklore in the cold dew is eating crabs, as the poem goes, "September doughnut navel October tip, holding cheeks drinking wine chrysanthemum days." The female crab at this time is rich in the yellow paste and tastes more delicious than the male crab. It is also elegant to enjoy the crab and chrysanthemums.

And in terms of health, in late autumn cold dew dry weather, if one is not careful, the lungs, respiratory tract, and other parts of the easy be harmed, so eat less spicy and stimulating, fire food, to prevent dryness. We should be more careful not to eat some clear fire and cool moist ingredients as soon as we think of preventing dryness.

In late autumn, there are two kinds of dryness, one is warm dryness, one is cool dryness, early autumn warm dryness is heavy, eat some cool and moist fruits and vegetables, it is just right to dissolve the harm of warm dryness, so that we feel moist and comfortable. But in late autumn, it is mostly cool dryness. Although both warm and cool dryness will hurt the lungs and make us feel dry, there is still a big difference.

To put it simply, warm dryness has both fire and heat, and cool dryness has both coldnesses. Like our friends who are usually afraid of cold and cold, generally cool and dry, in this case, you can not use the warm and dry sweet and cool moist diet to nourish, to focus on warm, nourishing the kidneys and lungs, moist but not cold. Do not generalize, otherwise, the opposite is drier and drier!

From the cold dew after the fifteen days, is the heaviest days of the year cool and dry, like watermelon, melon, persimmon, crab, bitter melon and other foods, are cold ingredients, cool and dry people should not eat more, it is best not to touch, in short, is to eat less cold and cold food and melons and fruits.

In the same we can often eat the following ingredients, both nourishing the body, no longer dry, but also will not be cold aggravate cold dry.

The first one: pics me nuts

The "Suixiju diet recipe" called pine nuts as the immortal fruit, "replenish gas and hunger, nourish the liquid and quench the wind, hunger-resistant warm stomach, can open up turbidity, down the gas and fragrant body, when the benefit of the elderly." Pine nuts solve depression and moisten dryness, and it is warmth, which is the best weapon against cool dryness, and moisten and warm, warm can go cool, moist can go dry.

After the cold dew these fifteen days, if we can often eat a handful of pine nuts, can let us well through the cold and dry season, nourishing Yin and moistening drynessupportingort the righteousness and complementing the deficiency. And the nutritional value of pine nuts is very high, rich in unsaturated fatty acids, glutamic acid, etc. These nutrients are good for the brain, the elderly and children can often eat, and are rich in vitamin E.

Pine nuts can be eaten directly, or fried and then eaten. In "Dream of the Red Chamber", pine nuts were also a favorite food of Jia Baoyu, where it is written: "Xiao Yan then uncovered a bowl of shrimp balls and chicken skin soup, another bowl of steamed duck in wine, a dish of marinated dried goose, and a dish of four creamy pine flesh rolled crisps and a large bowl of steaming green borders of japonica rice. ...Baoyu smelled it, but felt better than the usual taste, so he ate a rolled pastry...".

It is made of flour with pine flesh and cream and baked into a crispy roll, which is fluffy, layered, crispy, and delicious. The "pine flesh" is pine nuts, commonly known as "pine nuts, sea pine nuts.

To share a pine nut corn that I have loved since I was a kid, prepare the right amount of sweet corn kernels, cucumbers, green and red peppers, and pine nuts.

Green and red peppers and cucumbers are cut into small particles spare, a pot with an appropriate amount of water, a little salt, and high heat boil the corn and green and red peppers under the pot blanching, and add a little cooking oil can make the ingredients bright and not discolored, break off and fish out.

Add oil to the pot, heat it, and put the pine nuts, stir-fry for about 1 minute to dry up the moisture in the pine nuts, and set aside. Stir-fry the corn, green and red peppers, stir-fry, add a little water, stew over low heat, add salt, and sugar to taste, season, and add a little water starch to thicken the sauce, and then sprinkle the pine nuts on top.

The second type: is sweet almonds

Speaking of apricots, we all like, but almonds are rarely touched, people say almonds taste bitter and toxic, but do not understand that almonds are also divided into types, we are talking about the southern sweet almonds, also known as southern almonds, it is nourishing and has a very good tonic effect.

In ancient times, many Taoist priests in China promote sweet almonds, called "apricot jindan" or "grass Jordan", "the wild man's idle talk" in the record: "Hanlin bachelor Xin Shi Xun, in the Qingcheng Mountain Taoist Institute, dream of the royal nun said, can take almonds, make you smart, old and healthy. Make you wise, old, and healthy, mind power is not tired. Seek its recipe is to use almonds a taste, every wash after, with seven pieces of the mouth, a long time to take off the skin, chew and fluids and swallow, day after day to eat, people light and healthy."

Share a few south almond practices you, like to try.

1 Palace almond tea: 50 grams of rice, 50 grams of sweet almonds, black sesame seeds, peanuts appropriate amount, and icing sugar in the appropriate amount. Rice, and almonds soaked in water for 2 hours, add about 1000 ml of water, put the soaked rice almonds, pulp with a cooking machine, crushed peanuts, and an appropriate amount of black sesame seeds together in a pot, and stir-fry, stir the aroma and pour into a bowl, pour the almond pulp into the bowl and stir to drink, you can add an appropriate amount of rock sugar to taste, can not eat sweet not add.

2 almond cheese: 30 grams of sweet almonds, 15 grams of glutinous rice, the right amount of water, icing sugar cinnamon appropriate amount. Soak almonds and glutinous rice for 4 hours; put almonds and glutinous rice into a wall-breaker to break the wall into a fine paste through a sieve.

Pour the paste into a pot, add icing sugar, and cook on medium-low heat until bubbly, stirring constantly to avoid the bottom, and sprinkle with cinnamon garnish after the pot.

The color is as white as jade, the aroma is rich, the first entrance is the fragrance of cinnamon, then the fragrance of glutinous rice slowly permeates out, and finally, the fragrance of almond lingers between the lips, the taste is light and sweet and rich layers.

The third type: is black sesame

Black sesame belongs to the seeds, and these plant essences are stored in the seeds, both to nourish the kidney essence, but also to supplement nutrition, like black sesame, are to be fried before eating, cooked black sesame is warm, to nourish the liver and blood, nourish the kidney essence, moisten the body, very suitable for us often work late, dry and dry people eat.

Black sesame and pine nuts, like oil content, are very rich, eat the right black sesame, the body's tonic is very good, and moistens the five organs, but we should note that the more these good nutrition ingredients, the more we should pay attention to the eating method, do not eat raw, to do cooking, and the best outside the layer of black sesame hard skin to break off so that the nutrition can come out.

After nine times of steaming and drying in the sun, the black sesame seeds are cooked very thoroughly, and they are not greasy to eat, very delicate and easier to be absorbed by the body, and the black sesame seeds are dried nine times, and they get a lot of pure Yang Qi from the sun, which can dissolve the cold well, and fight the cold in the dry.

It requires more patience, t, time, and experience to control the fire so that the black sesame seeds are not greasy and retain their original nutrients.

If you want to try it, try this black sesame pill with nine steaming and nine sunshine, I have been eating it myself, the recipe is only two things, only nine steaming and nine sunshine after the black sesame and natural no added honey, because sesame after so many times of steaming and sunshine, will be slightly fermented, taste some bitter, with honey blend can neutralize the taste, so that the sesame more sweet and moist, the second honey is very sticky, conducive to the scattered sesame rolled into Honey is very sticky, so it is easy to roll the loose sesame seeds into honey pellets for preservation.

In addition, there are no additives or preservatives, and children can also be assured to eat, break open the black sesame pill is very dense and delicate, and there is a rich black sesame fragrance, the production of honey pills are decades of experience of teachers, they steam, control the fire skills of the perfect, natural do out of the black sesame pill taste very good.

The fifth: yam

Yam this ingredient is more common than those above, it can be too suitable for cool dry, and warm nourishing, and can clear the spleen and lung residual heat, but does not produce cold, it is clear of our body due to the lack of fluid and heat Oh. The lungs, spleen, and kidneys are supplemented to complete the moistening of dryness and nourishment.

But when we buy yam, it is best to choose wai yam, it is better to moisten dry ability, if we feel dry and dry, drink how much water does not quench thirst, then use wai yam slices boiled water to drink, it is very calm, not cold, not cold, very suitable for cool dry heavy time to eat, the key it also strengthens the spleen and stomach, eats not only will not be a burden on the spleen and stomach, will also complement the spleen and stomach.

The origin of Huaiyam in Jiaozuo, Henan, generally grows in Wen County, especially the shop land of Huaiyam is great, many people to facilitate the choice of sun-dried yam tablets, pay attention not which cross-section is also smooth snow white yam, or smell sour, this is likely to be sulfur smoked. To choose which smell is with yam fragrance, color slightly yellow, cross-sectional stripes Oh.

If it's raw wai yam, it's generally curved, with long roots and rust-like spots. The easiest way to eat yam is to boil water and eat steamed, as a child, especially yam steamed dipped in sugar, soft and sweet, but also top full.
