Hello everyone, the doctor reminds youSpring is the "high incidence period" of respiratory diseasesBecause of the increase in spring rains and high air humidity, it is easy to breed mildew and bacteria. The elderly and children with poor physical fitness often go to crowded places such as parks, vegetable markets, kindergartens, etc., and are most likely to cause cough due to bacterial cross-infection.
Once the elderly and children cough, because of poor autoimmunity, it is not good to cough for a long time, which affects sleep, learning and other aspects. In order to prevent and relieve cough symptoms, doctors recommend that you can eat some fruits that are raw and cough suppressant. Such as pears, apples, kumquats, etc. Among these fruits,KumquatThe cough suppressant effect is the best
Kumquat is rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin A, and carotene, which can enhance immunity and prevent colds and other diseases. KumquatAlso hasQuench thirst, moisten throat and remove drynessThe effect is suitable for people who have a bad cough for a long time. At the same time, kumquat can also promote digestion and absorptionHelps relieve problems such as indigestion and difficulty in bowel movements.
The market time of kumquat is from September to April of the next year, and everyone hurries up to stock up on some kumquat while the kumquat is not out of season. Yesterday I went to the vegetable market, I hoarded 5 catties of kumquat back, made it into kumquat preserves, can be stored for 2 months without breaking, take it out when you want to eat, eat it as a snack, or soak in water to drink, moisturize the throat, have the effect of cough and phlegm.
Recommended recipe: Kumquat preserves
Ingredients:2 catties of kumquat kumquats, 200 grams of rock sugar, half a bowl of honey, and powdered fine sugar.
Method:
1. Prepare kumquats, first soak them in salt water for half an hour, and most of the current fruit surfaces are coated with beeswax and cleaned with salt water, which can better wash off dust stains. After soaking, scrub with water two or three times.
2. Then cut the kumquat in half, take out a toothpick, and pick out the seeds in the middle. Of course, if you're preparing seedless kumquats, you don't need this step.
3. Next, turn on a small hot pot, no need to put oil, pour in rock sugar and some honey, no honey can be left out, just put honey in, the taste will be sweet and sweet, covering up the astringent taste of kumquat.
4. Pour the kumquat into it and fry the rock sugar with a spatula to turn it into sugar water. I don't need to put water here, because kumquat itself contains water, and after the rock sugar is boiled, it will also ooze sugar water.
5. It takes about 6 to 8 minutes to stir-fry here, so that the sugar water is inhaled into the kumquat, and one by one becomes sticky and shiny.
6. There are two ways to dry boiled kumquats, one is to put them under the sun and expose them to the sun all day long to dehydrate and dry. If the weather is bad, it can be dried in the oven. That's what I do in the oven here. Take out the baking sheet, put the oiled paper, put the cooked kumquats, then put them in the oven, bake them for 10 minutes at 200 °C.
7. Bake the dehydrated kumquats, sprinkle them with a layer of powdered sugar, and then stir well to coat each kumquat with powdered sugar, and the kumquat candied fruit is completed.
8. The kumquat candied fruit is sweet and fragrant, soft and chewy to eat, and can be eaten directly or soaked in water. If you can't finish eating, wait for it to cool completely, and store the kumquat candied fruit in an airtight container, which can be stored for a long time, and generally will not spoil for 2 months.
In short,In the spring, the elderly and children have a "bad cough", eat more of this fruit, a simple boil is better than medicine, and the cough is relieved, and the food and defecation are eliminated. Kumquat has the effect of moistening the throat, relieving cough and reducing phlegm, and is suitable for the elderly and children. After making kumquat preserves, you can extend the storage time and take it out if you want to eat it. However, everyone should remember, because kumquat candied fruit is sweeter, you can eat one a day, don't overeat.
