What season is Dendrobium suitable for eating?

It is suitable to eat Dendrobium in autumn and winter, because the quality of Dendrobium in autumn and winter is the best.

In fact, Dendrobium has a corresponding way of eating every season. For example, in spring and summer, we mainly supplement body fluids to relieve summer heat, and most people will choose cold-pressed drinks. In autumn and winter, making soup, hot pressing and making tea are more choices.

Although Dendrobium can be picked all year round, its nutritional value will be better only if it is picked at the right time. Dendrobium germinates in spring, grows in summer and stops growing at 5438+00 in June. After that, it will automatically metabolize excess water and accumulate more nutrients, such as dendrobine, dendrobium polysaccharide and various amino acids.

It is dry and cold in autumn and winter, especially in the dry northern region. It is suggested to eat more things that nourish the viscera, promote fluid production and quench thirst. Among all the tonics with the function of nourishing yin and promoting fluid production, fresh Dendrobium strips are considered by old Chinese medicine practitioners to have the best effect. Moreover, winter is the best time to replenish fresh iron bars, and the nourishing effect will be better.

How to eat Dendrobium

Juicing: Juicing is a common way to eat fresh Dendrobium. Usually use 2-3 fresh ones. After removing the thin coat outside, cut it into sections and add appropriate amount of water to squeeze juice (you can squeeze juice with about 50% warm water when it is cold in autumn and winter).

Soak in wine: Wash, dry and cut fresh Dendrobium strips soaked in wine into small pieces, and soak them alone or together with other Chinese herbal medicines in liquor with a temperature of more than 40 degrees. You can drink it in about half a month. Every 1 kg of fresh Dendrobium strips is mixed with 5 kg of white wine, with a small cup every day, which warms the stomach and moistens the lungs, promotes blood circulation and promotes fluid production, and is suitable for people who love to drink and have a bad stomach (just drink it as a health wine, two or three times a day).

Cooking: After it gets cold, the most pleasant thing is to have a bowl of hot soup when eating. Hot soup flows into the stomach and hot air spreads all over the body. Adding some Dendrobium into the soup is nutritious and healthy, which provides better protection for immunity in autumn and winter.
