【合時蔬果】冬瓜是夏天消暑第一瓜

⭐️因為身披白霜似下雪所以叫冬瓜
⭐️夏天用來蒸煮煲湯都適合
#星期五湯水

冬瓜消暑要留皮
每逢夏天都是吃冬瓜的最佳時候，因為冬瓜有清熱解毒、利水消腫、減肥的功效，夏天暑氣逼人，在街上走一圈已大汗淋漓，出汗容易使人耗氣傷津，宜適當清熱及補充水份。有時買到的冬瓜表皮帶有白霜，有些人以為發霉其實大錯特錯，冬瓜成熟後表皮會分泌蠟質，蠟質經過沉澱後便會形成白霜。但亦有冬瓜不帶白霜，這不代表冬瓜不夠成熟，其實是經改良後版本。有霜也好無霜也好，用冬瓜煲湯千萬不要削走冬瓜皮，因為冬瓜皮也有利水消腫的作用；冬瓜籽則有清肺化痰作用，肺熱人士例如咳嗽痰多，不妨連籽入饌。

清熱祛濕湯水小貼士：
適當地添加清熱祛濕功效的食材如土茯苓、綠豆、木棉花、粟米鬚等。

Keep Winter melon’s skin to clear heat

Summer is the best time to enjoy winter melon as it can dissipate heat and toxins, induce diuresis to alleviate edema, and aid weight loss. The summer heat can be torturous, causing people to perspire heavily and consequently leading to the exhaustion of the qi. Hence, it is important to take appropriate actions to clear heat and rehydrate the body.

Sometimes, the winter melons might develop a layer that resembles the hoar frost, which you might mistake as mold. That is actually not mold, but a waxy coat winter melon produced when it matures. There is also another type of winter melon that does not develop a waxy layer when matured, as it has been genetically improved. With or without the waxy coat, do retain the skin when making the winter melon soup, as the skin induces diuresis to alleviate edema; winter melon seeds are great for clearing lungs. Individuals with heat in the lungs, for example those who cough up phlegm, should consume the seeds altogether.

Tips to soup to clear heat and dispel dampness:
Appropriately add in ingredients such as smilax, green bean, kapok, corn silk.
