Efficacy and function

1. Supplement riboflavin

Salt-dried cowpeas retain most of the nutrients in fresh cowpeas. People can absorb rich riboflavin after eating them. This substance is an important component for maintaining human health. If this substance cannot be fully absorbed, the human body will suffer from various diseases such as angular cheilitis, cheilitis, and conjunctivitis.

2. Anti-virus

Salt-dried cowpeas can also resist viruses. The vitamins, choline, niacin and other trace ingredients they contain are all natural antiviral substances. They can promote the synthesis of antibodies in the human body, accelerate the regeneration of immune cells, and effectively inhibit the damage of viruses to human tissues and organs.

3. Prevent diabetes

Salt-dried cowpea is rich in phospholipids. After being absorbed by the human body, this substance can promote the secretion of insulin in the body, and can also directly participate in the metabolism of sugar in the human body, enhance the body's sugar tolerance, and effectively prevent blood sugar from rising. Those with diabetes can use this food to lower their high blood sugar and keep the patient's condition stable.

Steps

The method of making salt-dried cowpeas is very simple. When cowpeas are on the market in large quantities, buy two to three kilograms and take them home. Prepare a pot of water and an appropriate amount of table salt. Wash the cowpeas, soak them in clean water, put clean water in a pot and bring it to a boil, then add salt and mix well. After the water boils, put the cowpeas into the pot and blanch them. After three minutes, wait for their color to turn dark green, take them out and cool them down with cold water, then hang them in the sun to dry.
