The efficacy of sweet-scented osmanthus purple sweet potato porridge

Do you know the effects of sweet-scented osmanthus purple sweet potato porridge? Let me give you a detailed introduction below, I hope you like it.

Purple sweet potatoes are rich in protein, 18 kinds of amino acids that are easily digested and absorbed by the human body, 8 kinds of vitamins such as vitamin C, B, and A, and more than 10 kinds of natural mineral elements such as phosphorus and iron. Among them, iron and selenium are rich. Selenium and iron are necessary elements for the human body to resist fatigue, anti-aging, and replenish blood. In particular, selenium is called the "king of anti-cancer". It is easily absorbed by the human body and can remain in the serum to repair the myocardium, enhance the body's immunity, remove free radicals in the body, inhibit the synthesis of DNA in cancer cells and the division and growth of cancer cells, and prevent the occurrence of cancers such as gastric cancer and liver cancer. Purple sweet potatoes are rich in cellulose, which can increase the volume of stool, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, clean up mucus, gas and corruption retained in the intestinal cavity, excrete toxic substances and carcinogens in the stool, keep stools unobstructed, improve the digestive tract environment, and prevent the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases.

Purple sweet potatoes contain a large amount of anthocyanidins with high medicinal value. French scientist Dr. Masquel discovered that anthocyanidins are natural and powerful free radical scavengers. Anthocyanidins have preventive and therapeutic effects on more than 100 diseases and are known as the seventh essential nutrient after water, protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Anthocyanidins are the most direct, effective and safest free radical scavengers found so far for preventing and treating diseases and maintaining human health. Their ability to scavenge free radicals is 20 times that of vitamin C and 50 times that of vitamin E. Anthocyanidins have a small molecular structure and are the only substance that can penetrate the blood-brain barrier to scavenge free radicals and protect brain cells. At the same time, they can reduce the harm caused by antibiotics to the human body.

Sweet Osmanthus is the flower of the plant Osmanthus fragrans of the Oleaceae family. Osmanthus fragrans is an evergreen shrub or small tree, up to 7 meters high, with grayish-white bark. Leaves are opposite, leathery, elliptical or oblong-lanceolate, 3 to 8 cm long, with pointed or acuminate tips, cuneate bases, entire or with sharp serrations, 6 to 8 pairs of veins protruding downwards; petioles are short. Flowers are clustered in leaf axils, dioecious, with thin pedicels; calyx 4-lobed, lobes toothed; corolla 4-lobed, split to the base, lobes oblong, white or yellow, fragrant; male flowers have 2 stamens hidden in the corolla; female flowers have 1 pistil, style cylindrical, stigma capitate, ovary 2 chambers. Drupe oblong, containing 1 seed.

The flowering period is from September to October. It is cultivated in most parts of my country.

Osmanthus flowers should be stored in a sealed container to prevent the fragrance from escaping and from getting damp and moldy. There are two types of osmanthus flowers: sugar osmanthus and salty osmanthus flowers, which are pickled with sugar and salt respectively. They have a fragrant aroma and are often used in beets. They are most widely used in making desserts.
