Kidney beans are sweet and warm in nature. They have the effects of warming the middle and lower qi, benefiting the stomach, stopping hiccups, and replenishing the kidneys and vital energy. They can improve the body's immunity, enhance disease resistance, activate lymphocytes, and promote the synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid.

Eating kidney beans is good for the skin and hair. It can also help lose weight and lighten the body. It is definitely a good helper after overeating.

2. There are many flavors of plums. It is recommended not to eat unbranded plums. They are originally good things, but they cannot withstand the current processing methods, so try to choose good quality ones.

3. Kidney beans are difficult to cook, and it is not recommended to steam them slowly in a pot. It may not be edible after 3 hours, so use a pressure cooker. I use an electric pressure cooker, which comes with a steaming tray, which is very convenient to use. Put some water in the pressure cooker and then steam it.
