From 2018 onwards, China will set up the autumn equinox as the "Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival". Yes, this is a festival that reflects the harvest, but many people may not know that it is also the predecessor of our traditional festival "Mid-Autumn Festival". In ancient times, there was a folk custom of "spring festival day, autumn festival month", and the autumn equinox was once the traditional "festival of the moon festival", and now the Mid-Autumn Festival has evolved from this.
Folk have always had the saying that autumn "paste autumn fat", so people will eat some very greasy things at this time, but due to the problem of autumn climate, many people will have "autumn dryness" problems such as dry skin. Therefore, big fish and meat are not the best choice for autumn diet, and the most important thing to eat at this time is some relatively moist and warm food, or some sour fruits, such as walnuts, goji berries, pears, and grapefruit. They can also be used with other ingredients, such as the "chestnut chicken" mentioned here, which is a bu dish that is very suitable for the autumn equinox.
Chestnuts are native to China, people also call chestnuts, the earliest recorded in the Book of Poetry, in China at least 3,000 years of cultivation history. As early as the pre-Qin period, idioms about chestnuts appeared, such as "take chestnuts from the fire" and "three twilights and four nights". Chestnuts have a very loud reputation called "king of a thousand fruits", which belongs to the high-quality fruit of healthy (yi) life. Together with red dates and persimmons, they are called the three "woody grains", and some varieties are also called "ginseng fruits" abroad. Chestnuts contain high carbohydrates, fats, proteins, as well as minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron, and it has moderate calories, and moderate consumption does not affect weight loss.
Chestnuts have been called "kidney fruits" since ancient times, but people love to eat them not only because of its rich nutrition, but also because of the sweet aroma of the chestnut itself and the taste of the powder glutinous. Chestnuts have a warm and sweet taste, combined with the delicious taste of chicken, rich in nutrients and easy to absorb, and are a delicious dish that is very suitable for eating during the autumn equinox.
