The effect of longan porridge

What are the effects of longan porridge? I believe many friends still don’t know much about it, so let me introduce it to you in detail.

Longan is one of the unique fruits in China. It has the functions of replenishing blood, calming the mind, and preventing aging. People with weak blood and qi drink longan tea, which can also promote blood circulation and prevent cold hands and feet. Women can eat more longan during menstruation to reduce pain and promote metabolism. It is a very valuable medicinal material in traditional Chinese medicine. However, longan is sweet and delicious, but it is not suitable to eat too much at one time because it is not easy to digest.

Longan is a fruit unique to China. Longan is usually dried (raw) or roasted to become dried longan. Dried longan can nourish the heart and blood, calm the mind, improve brain power, and slow down Alzheimer's disease. For people with weak qi and blood, drinking longan tea, commonly known as "brain-enhancing tea", can also promote blood circulation. For women who drink longan tea during their menstrual period, it can reduce pain and promote metabolism. Longan is very valuable in traditional Chinese medicine because not only the flesh, but also the shell and root are one of the medicinal materials that can be used in traditional Chinese medicine.

When consumers are choosing longans, they should note that the best longans grown by the sun-drying method are those with bright yellow color, followed by reddish brown; the best longans grown by the fire-roasting method are those with dark yellow with red color, followed by reddish brown with black. When storing, longans should be kept in a dry and cool place.
