remind
Qingming fruit is a unique taste in this special season, but not everyone can eat it, all the time.
The pharmacist of the Chinese Medicine Pharmacy of the First Hospital of Zhejiang University warmly reminds that although the Qingming fruit is short in season, it should also be tasted in moderation and should not be gluttonous. The Qingming fruit that has just come out of the pot is easier to digest, but if it becomes a cold food, its viscosity and toughness are enhanced, it is easy to sticky and obstruct the stomach, and it is not easy to digest, so Qingming fruit is recommended to eat while hot. In addition, because the starch content of Qingming Fruit is high, it is not conducive to blood sugar control, so diabetics should also eat less.
