Suibianguo: taste on the tip of your tongue and think of this plum


By the time of awning, the heat is rising, and the discomfort of the body will also appear quietly. Especially in the south, the continuous plum rain season is unbearable, and low appetite and fatigue have become the worries of many people.



Chinese people who are good at seeking seasonal delicacies from nature will not miss green plum in this season.


The custom of eating plum with mango has a long history. On the one hand, the green plum is just at its maturity and is a seasonal product. On the other hand, it is the unique "eating" power of the green plum itself.


For awn sowers, according to the Interpretation of the Seventy-two Seasons of the Month Order, "May Day means that there are awn sown grains to be sown." The hotter it is, the busier it is, and the farmers are always farming in the field at a "scramble" pace. This is a period of exhausting days. Due to the poor material conditions, these hard-working farmers can hardly make up for it in time through various delicacies. However, nature always gives gifts to people living in it with a kind of almost mysterious guidance. Perhaps, thousands of years ago, a tired ancient man inadvertently picked a green and round fruit on the branch, and from then on, it left a strong mark in the history of Chinese food and nutrition.


The ancients knew that it was good to eat green plum in summer. It was said that this simple fruit was even popular with the royal family and was listed as one of the royal food. Why green plum is good, they may not be able to say why. Through modern scientific and technological research, we found that the loss of trace elements caused by a large amount of perspiration in the human body will lead to mental fatigue and other phenomena, commonly known as "napping in summer", and medically called "summer burnout". Green plum is just rich in Meisu, citric acid, amino acid, calcium, phosphorus, iron, sodium, manganese and other minerals, which is very beneficial to human body - no wonder it will be known as the "king of cold fruits".


Freshly picked green plum is as green as jade and shaped like jade beads. At a glance, it makes your lips and teeth salivate. However, few people are willing to eat fresh plum directly, because the acid will get into their hearts. How to "tame" green plum is naturally difficult for Chinese people who love and can eat more. "The salt plum has already been used in the cauldron, and the wine has been poured into the cup." Adding the plum to the dishes to taste has its own unique style; It is also a good practice to brew plum into green plum wine, and the most pleasing thing is to marinate plum into dried plum and preserved plum.


The green plum processed with sugar or salt is like the "small fortune" bestowed by nature, which makes the unbearable summer season more memorable. The plum made by a series of processes such as washing, sugar pickling, cooking, etc. is sour and sweet. If you are careful, you can add a little mint. The taste is like what Ximen Qing in "The Plum in the Golden Vase" said: "sip one in your mouth, promote fluid and lung, eliminate bad taste, eliminate phlegm and fire, and eliminate alcohol and food". It is used to match the heavy oil and sweet food. It is wonderful!

To cure hunger and quench thirst, a cup of cold cloud syrup." Or a cup of cool special drink made of random fruit, or the easy and easy taste of eating in a bag. This sour and sweet little candied fruit always gives you a different feeling.
