Reason for being on the list: Simple understanding is grass with fishy smell. Many people in the north can't stand it, but it is the favorite of Yunnan and Guizhou people. People who love to eat can't give up, and people who don't like to eat won't eat!
Reversal: Houttuynia cordata Thunb. It is both a wild vegetable and a medicinal material. It can clear away heat and toxic materials, induce diuresis and improve immunity. Can be used to make soup, which can effectively discharge the accumulated damp heat in the body. But you must pay attention that Houttuynia cordata can't be cooked for too long, otherwise it will destroy the efficacy, and 15 minutes is more appropriate.
No2 and Bitter Melon
Reason for listing: bitter!
Inverted: Bitter gourd contains an alkaloid-momordicin, which gives it a special taste. For many people, this bitter taste can stimulate taste buds and stimulate appetite (the bitter taste of beer comes from hops and also stimulates appetite). Bitter gourd is also useful, which may help to lower the blood sugar of diabetic patients.
Some in vitro and animal experiments have confirmed that bitter gourd has hypoglycemic effect, and there is some evidence in clinical trials, but these data are not enough to recommend bitter gourd to control blood sugar. Bitter gourd can't replace hypoglycemic agents. Related studies have found that eating a lot of bitter gourd can not achieve the goal of directional intake of hypoglycemic substances, and may even cause side effects due to excessive intake of other substances.
Third, coriander.
Reason for listing: Because of the strange smell of coriander, some people like it and some people are worried.
Inverted: Coriander can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, and has the effect of appetizing and strengthening the spleen. People with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold can eat coriander in moderation. Coriander can also warm stomach and dispel cold, help digestion and relieve stomach pain, and can be made into coriander porridge to drink. Coriander extract has obvious effects of sweating, clearing away heat and erupting, and its unique fragrance can stimulate sweat gland secretion and promote sweating and erupting.
No, leeks
Reason for listing: leeks have a strong spicy taste. Some people are obsessed with the unique spicy taste of leeks, and some people hate the strange taste of leeks. This is because sulfur-containing compounds and volatile essential oils are difficult to dissipate in the mouth after eating. In order to avoid embarrassment, many people choose not to eat leeks.
Inversion: Leek is a native vegetable in China, with a cultivation history of more than 3,000 years and rich variety resources. In addition to volatile oil, leek also contains saponins, flavonoids and other substances. These substances not only have certain bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects, but also help to improve immunity and reduce blood lipids.
Leek, leek yellow, leek moss and leek flower, what is the relationship between them? Is leek yellow made of leek? Let's start with leek yellow. In fact, there were leeks in the Northern Song Dynasty. Now we eat leek yellow, which is the tender leaves of leek cultivated in a dark greenhouse. The root is round, the color is white and the leaves are light yellow. Although there is no spicy taste of leek, its freshness is incomparable with leek.
In summer, leek will have a moss, which can be eaten when it grows to 10~ 15 cm. Scrambled eggs and shredded pork are beautiful in color and reasonable in nutrition. As for leek flowers, we are most familiar with hot pot and hot pot dipping sauce. In fact, the flowers on the leek moss are picked, ground into paste and pickled into sauce. Because of the high salt content, just add a little when eating, and it will taste a little.
carrot
Reason for listing: It tastes bad, but I just don't like it.
Counterpart: The nutritional value of carrots is a household name. Like Chinese medicine, if the spleen and stomach are weak, it is recommended to eat some carrots often. The most recommended thing is to cook "Xiaomi carrot porridge", because carrots are not cooked well, which is very suitable for the elderly and children. Eating regularly can also improve appetite.
Especially in spring, when the weather gets warmer, bacteria begin to multiply, and many people are prone to diarrhea because of unclean diet. Carrot porridge is an antidiarrheal diet formula often recommended by Chinese medicine. In addition, the wind is dry in spring and the temperature is unstable. Many old people and children catch a cold and are particularly prone to respiratory diseases.
Reason for listing: For some people, the taste is a little strong.
Reversal: It is easy to get dry and get angry in winter. Celery is sweet and cool, and has the effects of calming the liver and clearing away heat, expelling wind and removing dampness, diuresis and lowering blood pressure. Cooking soup with medlar and jujube is not only nutritious, but also can dispel fire. In addition, it can also alleviate the loss of appetite caused by spleen and stomach weakness.
Cut fresh celery stalks into sections, put them in a pot with medlar and red dates, and cook for 30 minutes before eating. This soup has the effects of clearing away heat, calming the liver, strengthening the spleen and nourishing the heart. People with high blood pressure, strong liver fire and weak spleen and stomach can eat some appropriately.
7.chrysanthemum
Reason for listing: Chrysanthemum. I don't know why, but many people don't like it anyway.
Inverted: Chrysanthemum morifolium is rich in nutrients, especially carotene, which contains10.5 mg per 100 g, which is 2~3 times higher than tomatoes, pumpkins and other vegetables. This is good for protecting your eyesight. When cooking, frying meat and eggs together can improve the utilization rate of vitamin A.
Chrysanthemum is fragrant because it contains a volatile essential oil, which can stimulate appetite. In addition, chrysanthemum also contains high mineral salts such as potassium and sodium, which can regulate water metabolism, diuresis and eliminate edema. Because of the high sodium content, you should put less salt in your cooking.
8. Onion (last name)
Reason for listing: There is always a spicy taste in your mouth after eating, similar to leeks. Besides, you will shed tears when you cut onions.
Inverted: Onion contains protein, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, minerals, vitamins and other nutrients, and is highly regarded as a multifunctional nutritious and healthy vegetable. Onion contains the same spicy ingredients as onion and garlic, and has a strong aroma, which can stimulate gastric acid secretion, stimulate appetite, sterilize and prevent colds. Onion also contains a trace element with antioxidant effect-selenium and a phytochemical called quercetin, which can inhibit the activity of carcinogens and prevent the growth of cancer cells. According to the survey, people who often eat onions have a lower risk of stomach cancer than those who don't.
Nutritionally speaking, the nutritional value of purple onion is higher than that of white onion. Purple onion not only contains anthocyanins with strong antioxidant capacity and can protect human body from free radicals, but also contains more minerals such as protein, dietary fiber, calcium, magnesium, zinc and iron than white onion. However, white skin is also good, and the content of carotene and vitamin C is higher than that of purple skin. Moreover, onions are not as spicy as purple onions, and have high moisture and sweetness, which is more suitable for salads and lettuce salads.
I especially like to stir-fry all kinds of meat with onions (such as beef, mutton, duck, squid and so on). ).), eggs or fungus, potatoes, sweet peppers, etc. It is not only delicious, but also nutritious, achieving complementary effects, such as fried beef with onions and potatoes, fried mutton with onions and cumin, fried tofu soup with onions and seafood, etc. Onions are golden yellow when cooked, and spicy sulfur compounds turn into sweet substances. In addition, when making pancakes, add some chopped onions, which is delicious.
Some people like to eat raw onions, which can better retain nutrition, but excessive consumption will lead to flatulence. It is recommended not to eat raw onions on an empty stomach, especially those with gastrointestinal diseases.
9.green pepper
Reason for listing: Green peppers will be a bit bitter and spicy.
Contrary: Green pepper has high nutritional value and is rich in vitamin C and carbohydrates. In terms of efficacy, green pepper has the effects of warming the middle warmer, reducing qi, dispelling cold and removing dampness, which can enhance people's physical strength and relieve fatigue caused by work and life pressure. Green pepper can stimulate the secretion of saliva and gastric juice, stimulate appetite, help digestion, promote intestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation. It can also prevent and treat scurvy, and can be used for adjuvant treatment of gingival bleeding, anemia and vascular fragility. In addition, green pepper also plays a certain role in reducing the elasticity of skin wrinkles and keeping the skin plump.
