As the saying goes, "Eat radish in winter and eat ginger in summer, and the doctor prescribes prescriptions without labor", and it's the season to eat ginger again~
However, ginger is "red". There have always been a lot of rumors and questions about ginger——
Can’t eat ginger at night, it is poisonous like arsenic!
Sprouted ginger cannot be eaten, it is harmful to health!
Should ginger be peeled?
......
If you don’t know, you can’t eat ginger at ease!
Don’t worry, I’ll make it clear to everyone today, so that everyone can buy and eat at ease~
Eating ginger at night is like arsenic?
To be honest, this statement is too flawed.
As we all know, arsenic is highly toxic, and it will kill you if you eat it.
Many people use ginger when cooking dinner. If eating ginger at night is really poisonous like arsenic, then how many people have already died.
In short, "poisonous like arsenic" is too exaggerated. If you understand this sentence as "Eating ginger in the morning is beneficial , Eating ginger at night is harmful", everyone understands better.
Chinese medicine believes that night is when the yang qi converges, the qi of heaven and earth is closed, and people need to rest.
However, ginger has a warm and spicy nature. If you consume too much, it will affect sleep and affect the body's anabolism, which is not conducive to the body's self-repair after fatigue.
In a general sense, eating ginger during the day is beneficial, but not at night.
In addition, whether you can eat ginger at night depends on your physical fitness.
As far as each individual is concerned, there is a difference between cold and hot physique-
- Hot people, often feels different in the body This kind of person should not eat ginger during the day or at night, but should eat cold food;
- cold person, often I feel all kinds of coldness or fear of cold all over my body. If you can have ginger soup to drive away the cold at night, you will warm your body and sleep well. You can usually eat warm food.
Can you still eat sprouted ginger?
can eat!
Sprouted ginger is not poisonous, but the moisture and nutrients of the ginger itself will gradually decrease, the ginger will also become dry and rough, and the flavor will decrease.
It should be reminded that sprouted ginger is more prone to decay and deterioration, so "rotten ginger" cannot be eaten.
Preservation Tips: Ginger should not be stored in the refrigerator, just keep it in a cool and ventilated place. If the temperature is too low or too high, ginger is easy to rot.
Do you want to peel the ginger?
Don’t look like it’s just a small action, go or not, but there is a difference!
The effects of ginger meat and ginger skin are not the same: ginger meat is warm in nature, can be used to invigorate the stomach, relieve vomiting and detoxification; ginger skin is cool in nature and can relieve water and swelling .
Whether the skin is to go or stay, it is necessary to analyze the specific situation——
If the skin is not peeled:
①Generally do In order to maintain the balance of the medicinal properties of ginger, it is recommended to leave the ginger skin, but when cooking cold dishes, use ginger to temper the cold and peel it.
②The ginger skin is "diuretic", when it is used to treat edema, it is necessary to use ginger with skin.
③If the patient with edema has heat, such as oral ulcers, bad breath, constipation, etc., it is best to use ginger peel instead of ginger meat, so as not to overheat and add oil to the fire.
In case of peeling:
It is best to treat a cold with ginger. Because ginger skin is cool in nature and can stop sweating, it is not conducive to relieve sweating. When treating vomiting and stomachache caused by spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, ginger skin should also be removed.
