Try "Wet Rice"!
Eat this "first rice to dispel dampness" immediately
Moisture is discharged!
Don't sell it, this "damp rice" is the famous one-gourd!
It is made by freshly harvested seeds, which are naturally dried with the hard shell (outer seed coat) removed.
Gourd, also known as "Lingdi", "Water Pill", commonly known as "chicken head rice", has a history of thousands of years of medicinal use.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the sweet taste, astringency and flatness of the gourd can enter the second meridian of the spleen and kidney, which can dehumidify, benefit the kidney and solidify the essence, tonify the spleen and stop diarrhea. Most modern people like to eat greasy food, and the dampness in the body is heavier, so it is appropriate to eat gourd seeds to dissipate dampness.
What's more worth mentioning is that it is also a highly praised health product.
"Shennong's Materia Medica" lists it as the top grade, saying that it can "benefit the essence, strengthen the ambition, make people deaf and bright, wear light body for a long time and not be hungry, and endure the old gods".
The "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "Herbacea can quench thirst and benefit the kidneys, treat urinary incontinence, spermatozoa, white turbidity, and bring down."
According to records, one of the health preservation methods of the Song Dynasty writer Su Dongpo was to eat the seeds every day to maintain health and achieve the purpose of health and longevity.
Modern science has also confirmed that it is rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and other trace elements, which can ensure the nutrients required by the body; It can strengthen the absorption function of the small intestine, increase the excretion rate of urine, and increase the concentration of serum carotene, thereby reducing the incidence of lung cancer and gastric cancer.
In short, the benefits of eating gourd are very good!
However, how can you eat such a good gourd to be more healthy?

There are two ways to eat it: raw and fried: it is better to tonify the kidney; For those who have a weak spleen and stomach, or want to replenish the spleen and stomach, it is more recommended to stir-fry the seeds.
When it comes to specific cooking, it is most recommended that you cook porridge and soup, and you can also make a paste.
I recommend 3 ways to dispel dampness ▽
- Lentil porridge
Method: Prepare 30 grams of fried seeds, 20 grams of fried white lentils, 10 red dates, and 100 grams of glutinous rice; Pour all the ingredients into a saucepan and add water to cook into porridge.

Poria cocos has the effect of water infiltration and spleen and soothing, and is suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach, restless mind and poor sleep quality.
Of course, if you find it troublesome to cook porridge and soup, you can also make it into a paste and eat it▽
How to make the seeds: Wash and dry the seeds, fry them over low heat, and then grind them into powder.
You can take 10~15 grams of boiling water each time, and you can also add honey or sugar to taste according to your preference.
Although the gourd is good, there are some precautions when eating-
Eat the gourd, pay attention to 4 points
1. Do not exceed this amount per day
Eating too much gourd can easily cause indigestion, poor stool and other physical discomforts, so it is recommended to eat about 10 grams (about 20 pieces) per person per day.
In addition, when eating seeds, you should pay attention to chewing and swallowing slowly to achieve the effect of nourishing the body.
If you eat it with lotus seeds and yams, the tonic effect will be doubled, and you can choose the right way to eat it according to your preferences.
2. These categories of people are not suitable for eating
It has a large astringent effect, is difficult to digest, and has a strong tonic effect, so constipation, bloating, cold patients and infants should not eat it.
3. What is a good seed?
When stir-frying, you should add wheat bran and master a certain amount of heat, which is not convenient to make at home, so it is recommended that you go directly to the pharmacy to buy it.
And in the real time of buying raw starch, you might as well use the following three tricks -
One look: look at the color. After the inner seed coat is removed, it is white and shiny, and the yellowish color is generally old goods. There is also a white seed seed on the market that has the outer seed coat removed.
Second smell: smell the smell. Sulfur-smoked seeds will smell sour, and may have been moth-eaten and then processed, so it is best not to buy them.
Three bites: bite texture. The seed is rich in nutrients, and if it is not dried enough, it is easy to mold and insects. The tooth bite is brittle and brittle, and it is dry; If it is slightly tough, it is the one with more moisture.
In general, it is better to have a dry body, no moth-eaten seeds, full and uniform particles, powdery feet, no crumbs and skin shells.
4. How to store the seeds
The starch is abundant, and it is easy to mold and insects after being wet. Therefore, it is recommended to seal the seeds in a plastic bag and refrigerate them after buying them home.
