As the saying goes, lotus lotus is a treasure, autumn lotus is the most nourishing to people. After autumn, the air is dry, and people are prone to irritability and restlessness. At this time, you should eat more foods that clear the heart and moisten the dryness to eliminate autumn dryness. Lotus roots can boost appetite and clear heat, moisten dryness and quench thirst, clear the heart and calm the mind, and warm our spleen and stomach, and cleanse and nourish our stomach, and not easily dry.

Eat raw like fruits, sweet and cool to the lungs; eat cooked and stewed with peanuts to strengthen the spleen and enhance the appetite, rich in nutrition, and suitable for nourishing people with weak spleen and stomach.

Tangerine peel is gentle in nature, and it has a good assisting effect no matter what ingredients are put in. In this recipe, pork is greasy, but with the blessing of tangerine peel, it can resolve this greasyness. In autumn, we always feel that there is phlegm and sticky in the throat. It is good to eat some tangerine peel at this time.
Tangerine peel is matched with lotus root. Tangerine peel reduces turbidity and lotus root raises clearness. In this way, the qi of the spleen and stomach will be smooth. When the wheel of the spleen and stomach turns, it can better transport and transform water and dampness. Moreover, tangerine peel is a good tool for promoting qi and eliminating bloating. We are prone to abdominal distension and irritation after eating. We eat it with tangerine peel.

Song Dynasty literary master Su Shi, he is very knowledgeable about eating. He is still strong and has a rosy complexion in his old age. This is inseparable from his health care throughout the year. In "Dongpo Health Preservation", he mentioned the water chestnut. One of them is about how to eat water chestnuts. His way of eating is quite strange. Take a piece of freshly cooked water chestnuts in his mouth and slowly hold it until the saliva is full, rinse it a few times, and swallow it slowly.
He used this method to eat 10 to 30 grains of water chestnut, and he also especially likes chicken head rice porridge cooked with water chestnuts, which is called "porridge is fast to raise, and after a porridge, it is wonderful."
Gorgonis fermented in nature, sweet in taste, belongs to the spleen and kidney meridians, strengthens the spleen and stops diarrhea, has the characteristics of "tonic but not sharp" and "to prevent dryness and not greasy". It is the first choice food for infancy.
actually has many fruits suitable for autumn, including fruits and nuts, such as autumn pears in addition to moisten the lungs and promote fluid; peanuts can awaken the spleen and stomach; pine nuts , fight autumn dryness; hawthorns can enhance appetite, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis ; glutinous rice can warm and nourish dryness; chestnuts can strengthen the spleen and kidney qi.
Recently, a friend often told me that since the beginning of autumn, my body has not been relaxed. I am drowsy every day, my body feels weaker than before, and I want to sleep as a whole.
In fact, it is not only her, but I also feel this way. I also find that most people around me have this feeling. Why? The source is that our spleen and stomach are weak and cannot transport and transform enough qi and blood nutrition for us to drive.
So my suggestion is to get the spleen and stomach up, and use the method of eating to nourish the exhausted spleen and stomach. Recently, I studied Dr. Luo Dalun's " yin and yang, one regulating all diseases and eliminating ", which contains a method to nourish the spleen and stomach, which is a pastry, which is said to be a pastry that emperors often eat in the past.
Especially Emperor Qianlong, it was almost always the same. At that time, this kind of pastry was almost gone, and Emperor Qianlong also personally asked the eunuchs to make it quickly. Later, Empress Dowager Cixi was the same and liked this pastry very much. So what kind of pastry can make the royal family who eat all kinds of delicacies?
In fact, it is made from eight ingredients: Codonopsis pilosula, Poria , Coix seed , lotus seeds, yam, white lentils , water chestnut and glutinous rice. Therefore, it is named Bazhen Cake. If you look closely, you will find that many of the ingredients in it are ripe fruits in autumn. It can be seen that the ancients also followed the method of the four seasons, and most of these ingredients are warm and beneficial to the spleen and stomach.
In the recipe of Bazhen Cake, yam, lotus seeds, and white lentils are all to nourish spleen yin ; poria cocos and coix seed remove dampness ; water chestnut is astringent, and glutinous rice and Codonopsis are both warming the yang and replenishing vitality. Such a seemingly simple recipe, including yin and yang, as well as rise and fall, as well as peace and bias. No wonder some people say that Bazhen cake is a cake that can maintain health and strengthen the spleen for thousands of years.
Let’s share the method of making this pastry, and take advantage of the autumn to nourish our spleen and stomach.
Ingredients: 5g Codonopsis pilosula, 50g Poria cocos, 50g coix seed, 50g lotus seed, 350g Huai Yam html, 50g white lentils, 50g water chestnut, 100g japonica rice flour, 100g glutinous rice flour.
Method: Grind all the ingredients into powder, add sugar, japonica rice flour, and glutinous rice flour, and mix all the ingredients with your hands (add sugar according to your favorite taste).
Pour an appropriate amount of water, stir with your hands, knead it into a ball with your hands, and then continue kneading the dough and kneading the dough until there is no dry powder. Then you can use the mold to print out your favorite flower shape.
put in the steamer and steam for 15 to 25 minutes. Time depends on the size of the pastry. If the larger ones are steamed for a longer time, the smaller ones are shorter, so please control it yourself. After steaming, this pastry is suitable for hot and cold. It is soft and glutinous and does not stick to teeth, but it contains coix seed, which is not suitable for pregnant women.
After showing this recipe to my friend, she said that she really wanted to make the cake, but she didn't have time to spend making cakes because she had broken hands. So in order for everyone to eat such a bite of authentic Bazhen cake, we specially visited various places to find high-quality raw materials. After many matching ratios, we developed a pastry that is very good in taste and nutrition, and adjusted and upgraded the original Bazhen cake recipe.
Dabie Mountain Poria cocos, Wenxian Iron stick yam, Chaozhou Gorgeous ferment, each ingredient is suitable for its growth, so that the ingredients grown are more nutritious, a small piece concentrates the essence of a variety of ingredients.
cake follows the basic combination of ancient recipes, but there are subtle differences, because it also adds jujube, malt , hawthorn and other ingredients to blend the taste, which is more in line with the physique that modern people are prone to eating. Moreover, they use flaxseed oil and maltose . They do not use traditional white sugar, advocate low-sugar life, start with eating cakes!
And unlike the traditional method of steaming in the pot, it uses more exquisite low-temperature baking. Such pastries are not choked or hard when eaten. People who have steamed buns know that this will be hard after being left outside for a long time. The pastries baked at low temperatures are more suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. The teeth of the elderly are not as good as those of young people, so they must pay more attention to eating. This pastry is glutinous and chewed without any trouble.
soft and glutinous, with the fragrance of glutinous rice. Carefully chew the particles that can produce food, they are all small packages. When we are middle-aged, we will eat less and we are even more afraid of wasting. We will open a small bag every time and eat hygienic, and we will not worry about being wasted by the moisture.
, a pastry that combines various autumn fruits, is very good, whether it is nutritious or tasteful. It eats comfortably and is healthy and nutritious. The body naturally gives us enough energy, young people work and live more efficiently, and the elderly can live a comfortable life.
These three foods are very suitable for consumption in the autumn when the air is full of dryness. It not only nourishes the spleen and stomach, but also nourishes vitality, moistens the dryness and produces saliva in the dry autumn.
