How to make mung bean, coix seed and gorgon fruit porridge

1. Wash mung beans and coix seeds and soak them for 1-2 hours

3. If it is dry gorgon fruit, soak it for the same time as beans and coix seeds, and cook them together.

Tips

1. I use frozen gorgon fruit, which is cooked as soon as it is cooked.

2. If it is fresh, it is also easy to cook. Basically, boil it until the water boils and add rock sugar.

3. Dried gorgon fruit is common in the north, which takes a long time to cook and needs to be soaked in advance.

4. Gorgon fruit is a real local specialty, so the locals in Suzhou are the best at making it. I have only cooked porridge and sweet soup with it, just for my own enjoyment.

Many people know that mung bean soup has the effects of relieving heat, invigorating qi, clearing away heat and detoxifying, but how to eat it to achieve different effects? The Chifeng City Nutrition Association of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region warns consumers that the heat-relieving effect of mung bean lies in the skin, and the detoxifying effect lies inside. It should be eaten "according to the symptoms", and mung bean soup with added ingredients has better therapeutic effects.

It is reported that when drinking mung bean soup for the purpose of cooling off, do not eat the beans together, just drink the soup. Do not cook the mung beans for too long, add cold water to boil the raw mung beans, and then cook for another five or six minutes on high heat. However, it should be noted that mung beans are a cooling food and medicine. If people with weak constitution or weak spleen and stomach drink too much, they will experience abdominal pain and diarrhea. People with yin deficiency should not drink a lot, otherwise it will cause excessive internal heat and symptoms such as erosion of the corners of the mouth and swollen and painful gums.

The soft-cooked mung bean soup has good heat-clearing and detoxifying effects. Because it has diuretic and gas-relieving effects, drinking it after food or drug poisoning can also help eliminate toxins from the body. It also has certain therapeutic effects on heat swelling, thirst, acne, etc. Such mung bean soup is turbid in color and has poor heat-clearing effect, but it has a strong heat-clearing and detoxifying effect.
