Dried Longan Calories
Longan has health benefits, and many people in China like to use it to make tea, adding ingredients such as wolfberry and jujube to make the tea more nutritious and sweeter. When soaking longan in water, remove the shell so that the nutrients can be fully dissolved in the water. Dried longan is relatively high in calories, so some people who want to lose weight should not eat too much dried longan. It has similar calories to raisins. It tastes very sweet, indicating that it contains a lot of sugar. If you want to lose weight, you should not eat too much.
Don’t eat too much longan
In summer, many people like to eat fresh longan very much. After drying it, it is made into dried longan. Many people use it to make tea and drink it. It can also be used as a snack, but you must not eat too much. Generally, 5-6 longan is eaten every day. Eating too much longan is easy to cause inflammation. At the same time, when making tea, you can mix red dates, wolfberry, honey and other ingredients, which can make longan and red dates tea better and more nutritious.
Many people think that longan has health benefits, so they eat a lot. It also has some side effects. Eating too much can cause inflammation. Although it is fruit, eating too much can cause symptoms of dry mouth. If you eat too much, you will be prone to constipation. Pregnant women should not eat too much longan. If you eat a lot of longan, you must pay attention to drinking more water. Children like to eat sweets very much. Dried longan contains a lot of sugar, so children like it very much, but neither children nor the elderly can eat a lot of dried longan. The daily intake should be controlled at about 200g, otherwise it will affect health.
How to eat fresh longan
What I am sharing is the practice of drying longan, which is easy to store after drying and can be used to make tea later. In fact, fresh longan is also delicious, but it is difficult to preserve. Eating fresh longan is very simple. You can wash it and directly peel it and eat the pulp. You can also put the pulp into hot water and add wolfberry and red dates to make tea.
You can also use fresh longan pulp to stew chicken soup, which can make the chicken soup more delicious. Some people also like to drink. They can put the fresh pulp into the wine glass. The sweetness of the pulp can neutralize the bitterness of the wine and make the wine taste more unique. I prefer to dry longan into dried longan, it is easier to store, and the nutrition is also preserved, which is very convenient to make tea.
Longan, Red Dates and Lotus Seed Soup
Dried longan, red dates and lotus seeds are put together to make soup. It has certain health benefits, and many elderly people like to drink it very much. And it is also very suitable for women, lotus seeds have a good health effect, pregnant women eat lotus seeds to help the development of the fetus, red dates and longan are rich in trace elements, and iron content is also high, pregnant women drink more to help health during pregnancy.
