The practice of clearing fruit

I believe everyone knows Tomb-Sweeping Day, but have you ever heard of Qingming Fruit? So what exactly is Qingming fruit? How is it made? Let's learn about Qingming fruit with questions.

What is a clear fruit? Also known as Qingtuan or Qingming Haoziba. It is a special food of Han nationality in the south, middle and east of China. Mostly made of wormwood, it tastes soft, but it will harden after a long time. Its appearance is similar to that of jiaozi, and its size is turquoise as that of jiaozi. Its fillings are sweet and salty, and it can also be made with sesame seeds, osmanthus and other favorite ingredients.

To clear the fruit, we can first clean the wormwood leaves, remove the old roots of the wormwood leaves, then add sesame white sugar and mash them together to make a clear fruit core, then put the wormwood leaves into boiling water, then take out and squeeze out the water, then add a proper amount of water to the pot, then add the wormwood leaves and edible alkali, and cook for about five minutes on low heat, while stirring in the pot with chopsticks until the water turns dark green. Then pour the dark green wormwood leaf juice into the rice flour, stir it while pouring it, until a rice ball is initially formed, and then spread the glutinous rice flour evenly on the rice ball, and then we can knead the rice ball. After kneading for a while, we will cover it with a wet cloth and let it stand for about half an hour. Then we will intercept a small ball of green dough, press it into long strips, then flatten it, add some sesame seeds, and then seal it like jiaozi.

The nutritional components of Qingming fruit are mainly Artemisia argyi juice and rice dough. It is mainly rich in starch and vitamins. One kind contains plant fiber, which can not only provide us with energy for daily physiological consumption, but also provide us with some necessary trace elements and dietary fiber, and is very nutritious. However, although Qingming fruit is good and valuable, we can't eat more.

Who can't eat Qingming fruit? 1, pregnant women, the elderly and children

Because Qingming fruit is mostly made of glutinous rice, it is not easy to digest. Pregnant women, the elderly and children should use it less, otherwise it may be bad for the stomach and cause bloating.

2. Patients with gastritis

Patients with gastritis should not eat Qingming fruit, otherwise eating Qingming fruit, glutinous rice in Qingming fruit may aggravate dignified symptoms and even cause greater diseases.

3. Diabetic patients

Because Qingming fruit is a dessert, diabetics can't eat it, otherwise it will aggravate the condition of patients with urinary system diseases. Of course, people who have a bad stomach and stones should also eat less, otherwise it will aggravate their own condition and is not conducive to healthy recovery.

What should I pay attention to when eating clear fruit? After eating clear fruit, we should try to use less staple foods such as rice, otherwise it will increase the burden on our gastrointestinal tract and may also cause some diseases. Moreover, the fruit must be heated before eating, because glutinous rice is easy to be reversed after cooling, so it is more difficult for us to digest and absorb.

Also, clear fruit should not be mixed with fat. Indigestible food and greasy food equipment will increase the burden on the stomach and cause nausea. After eating clear fruit, we can properly use some calculated foods to promote our digestion.

When do you eat Qingming fruit? You can guess from its name that it was eaten in Tomb-Sweeping Day. Eating Qingming fruit is just a custom in Tomb-Sweeping Day, southern China, but now we can eat different flavors of Qingming fruit at any time. It has completely become a dessert food, not just on the day of Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Why does Tomb-Sweeping Day eat Qingming fruit? Many people have eaten Qingming fruit, but they don't know why they eat it in Tomb-Sweeping Day. This is mainly to commemorate the Boxer Rebellion. According to legend, during Tomb-Sweeping Day in the late Qing Dynasty, Taiping Chen was hunted by Qing soldiers. In order to avoid hunting, the locals mixed wormwood into glutinous rice flour and made glutinous rice balls. The pursuer felt delicious and sweet after eating it, so he relaxed his vigilance. Later, in order to acquire a survival skill, Li Xiucheng taught the officers and men how to make clear fruits, which gradually spread to Tomb-Sweeping Day to eat clear fruits. Secondly, in Tomb-Sweeping Day, it was very convenient for every household to steam and eat the fruit directly, so it is also a practical need to derive this delicious food.

Can pregnant women eat clear fruit? Pregnant women can eat clear fruit, because it contains a lot of vitamins and dietary fiber, as well as a variety of trace elements that our human body needs, so pregnant women can eat clear fruit, but it should be noted that because clear fruit is not digestible food, pregnant women should control the intake of clear fruit, otherwise it may cause indigestion and symptoms of food accumulation.

What flour is Qingming fruit made of? Generally, glutinous rice flour is used to make clear fruit, and wormwood leaf juice is added to glutinous rice flour. The clear fruit made in this way is very soft, waxy and sweet, and tastes very good. Some people will eat sticky rice flour, but it is not as glutinous as glutinous rice, so we want to eat delicious clear fruit. It is recommended to use glutinous rice to make clear fruit.

Through the above introduction, I believe that everyone has some understanding of the relevant aspects of Qingming fruit. Qingming fruit is suitable for many people, especially pregnant women, children and other people. You can eat more appropriately.
