The nutrition of Chenpi
In China, dried Chenpi is a Chinese herbal medicine, and it is also a snack. Chenpi is very good for the health of the spleen and stomach. First of all, Chenpi can promote gastrointestinal digestion and increase appetite. The Chenpi contains limonoids, which can promote intestinal peristalsis, so it has the effect of promoting digestion. And Chenpi contains vitamin B, vitamin C and other ingredients, which can stimulate the gastrointestinal tract to produce more digestive juice and increase appetite.
When cooking, I also like to add a small amount of dried Chenpi. It can remove the fishy smell of some ingredients and let the dish emit aroma. If mutton and fish are used in cooking, I will always add dried Chenpi. And when making mung bean paste and red bean porridge, I also add dried Chenpi to make them more fragrant. Chenpi also has the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving cough.
It is a traditional Chinese medicine. If you have symptoms such as stomach bloating, indigestion, cough, etc., you can boil water with dried Chenpi to relieve these symptoms. Chenpi is very helpful for gastrointestinal health, and adding a small amount of Chenpi when cooking can also play a role in health care.
How to eat Chenpi
There are many ways to eat Chenpi. For example, many people like to add a small amount of Chenpi when making tea, which can make the tea more aroma. There are also many people who make health tea, in which there are many Chinese medicinal materials, and at the same time, Chenpi is added to it, and some have the effect of lowering blood lipids. I like to use Chenpi to make porridge, add water to the pot, then add Chenpi, rice, red dates, and then heat the porridge. You can also add other ingredients according to your own preferences, sometimes I add a small amount of beef and other ingredients to make it more delicious.
How to store dried Chenpi
The homemade Chenpi method I share is simple, but it takes a long time to be effective. Generally, it has to be stored for a year before it has obvious medicinal effects, so it must be stored after drying. You can seal the dried Chenpi in a plastic bag and store it in a dry and cool place, or you can seal it in a glass bottle and store it in a cool, dry place. The most important thing in preserving Chenpi is that there is no moisture in the environment, otherwise it will easily go bad. When using Chenpi, check it to see if it is mildewed, and if there is a problem, don’t eat it.
Who can eat Chenpi
Pregnant women should not eat Chenpi as it will affect lactation. Eat a small amount of dried Chenpi if you want to wean your baby. Children and the elderly should not eat too much dried Chenpi, and they cannot soak water with dried Chenpi every day. I recommend using dried Chenpi for porridge and cooking. Adding a small amount of Chenpi can play a role in maintaining health, but eating too much is not very good.
