Red beans, scientifically known as red beans, are nutritious and contain protein, fat, sugar, vitamins and minerals. Its protein content is even higher than that of pork, and it contains a lot of iron, which has the effects of enriching blood and benefiting qi, diuresis and detumescence.
Usually we eat red beans, which are mostly used to cook porridge, make bean paste or make soybean milk. Although it's delicious, you'll still get tired of eating too much.
There is a 70-year-old grandmother living on the second floor of my unit. People often see her in the square. She is an activist in square dance. She is in excellent health, looks good and has a rosy face. She looks like she is in her fifties. My mother often dances square dance with this grandmother, and she is familiar with it. Once, my mother asked her how to maintain it so well.
Grandma said that she doesn't care much, but she just likes to eat red beans. It turns out that this is her "secret of youth". Mom asked how to eat red beans. Is it boiled red bean porridge? Or play red bean soybean milk? Grandma smiled and said that she never eats like this.
I suddenly caught my mother's interest and asked my grandmother for advice before I knew that her grandmother made red beans into meatballs.
Can red beans still make meatballs? My first reaction was to question. I didn't understand until my mother explained it in detail. No wonder grandma looks good. It is really the credit of this red bean ball. Grandma's red bean balls are not only nutritious, but also can replenish qi and blood, clear away heat and promote diuresis, detoxify and nourish the face, so my mother also learned to make them, and they taste really good.
Today, I will share grandma's Secret of Youth with you. I hope all the mothers in the world are getting younger and younger, and all the men can eat it with the same effect.
