#绿豆汤解暑但并非人人适宜 #
After the heat, the whole country is in hot mode, and the daily high temperature is constantly breaking records.
And through the hot summer, in addition to the air-conditioned watermelon WiFi, perhaps a bowl of mung bean soup has also become a choice for many people to quench their thirst.
Refrigerate to the cold green bean soup, a mouthful of soup, sweet and delicious, and then with the boiled mung beans, drink a bowl in one bite, in order to survive this hot summer.
Mung bean soup, the ancients have long used it as a cooling off
As a legume crop with high nutritional and economic value, mung beans were originally produced in Southeast Asia and then introduced to the mainland.
As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, mung beans had already begun to be planted, and Qu Yuan's "Departure from sorrow" recorded that ---- "The green beans were divided into rooms, and the judgment was not satisfied", which already showed that the Chu state had already begun to cultivate mung beans extensively.
Sun Simiao of the Tang Dynasty, known as the "King of Medicine", also recorded that ----- mung beans have the effect of "curing cold and heat, heat, stopping diarrhea, and swelling of the urine".
Because mung beans are not only rich in polyphenol antioxidants, but also contain high potassium and B vitamins.
Especially in the summer heat, everyone often sweats and has little appetite, and mung bean soup can not only relieve the heat, but also provide rich antioxidants and B vitamins to supplement minerals lost due to sweating.
Obviously mung beans are green, why am I red when I cook them?
The reason why mung bean soup can play a better effect of cooling down and relieving difficulties, its main active ingredients are present in the skin of mung bean, such as flavonoids, saponins, coumarins and so on.
Flavonoids are very easy to interact with iron ions, which in turn forms a dark complex, so a small amount of iron ions may be dissolved with an iron pot, resulting in discoloration of mung bean soup.
At the same time, mung bean soup is rich in polyphenols, when the pH is alkaline, or when it encounters oxygen and metal ions, the polyphenols will undergo oxidation, polymerization and other reactions, so the boiled mung bean soup will appear red.
Although mung bean soup relieves the heat, it is not suitable for everyone to drink
As an excellent summer drink, mung beans can indeed play a role in cooling down and cooling, mung bean soup is good, but if you drink improperly, it may also hurt the body.

Second, people with weak stomachs
