We Eat Whole Grains Together Part 2
The farmers' markets and large supermarkets have been quite bustling recently. With dyed steamed buns and toxic bean sprouts, it feels like nothing is safe to eat. So, from now on, let's start making our own food at home. Try to choose ingredients you can trust, and listen carefully to "Langman" for some additional points to note! I hope this can serve as a small warning, and I hope you all enjoy it!
Let's continue with our food recommendations, come this way…
Food Recommendation #1 Mung Bean and Glutinous Rice Porridge>>>
Reason for recommendation: Mung beans are sweet and cool in nature, known for their heat-clearing and detoxifying properties. They are especially good for clearing summer heat, but don't believe the claims of some so-called miracle doctors that mung beans can cure all diseases. If it were truly a wonder drug that could conquer ten ailments, why would we have seen so many other plants and herbs in five thousand years of civilization? Therefore, whether it's for nourishment or detoxification, these foods play a supplementary role in treatment. The most accurate term should be "dietary therapy," not the legendary magic. This dish is soft, smooth, and delicate—a true delicacy!
Food Recommendation #2 Mung Bean Cakes>>>
Reason for recommendation: Mung beans can enhance appetite, lower blood lipids and cholesterol, and protect the kidneys. At home, we can make our own mung bean paste. Mung bean cakes are a common snack, and you can add chopped dried fruits to the filling for any flavor you like. With their simple appearance and delightful texture, they are convenient to carry for leisure time, after meals, afternoon tea, or a day out. Friends who like it, give it a try!
Food Recommendation #3 Codfish with Sorghum Rice>>>
Reason for recommendation: When premium ingredients meet humble ones, the great contrast provides a strong stimulation to the taste buds—it's truly irresistible. Sorghum is warm in nature, beneficial to Qi, stops diarrhea, and astringes the intestines. It is suitable for dysentery and damp-heat-related urinary issues. It can be used to make wine, and the leftover husks can be made into "cooking brushes" for cleaning pots! My family used to grow it when I was a child, but it's rarely seen now! Codfish is rich in magnesium, which is excellent for preventing cardiovascular diseases and high blood pressure. It's also extremely nutritious!

Food Recommendation #4 Multigrain Loaf>>>
Reason for recommendation: When sorghum flour and black rice flour come together. As the saying goes, the five grains are life-sustaining, and these grains are the most nourishing. In modern society, many people are starting to adopt Western lifestyles, eating bread and milk for breakfast. This loaf combines the traditional grains of our lives, embodying great wisdom in a small loaf. It's a true blend of the rustic and the refined, the hard and the soft. This combination of traditional ingredients and modern civilization is simply a match made in heaven! If you're interested, give it a try! The results might exceed your expectations!
Food Recommendation #5 Sparerib and Green Bean Porridge>>>
Reason for recommendation: In daily life, green beans are often used as a side dish. They are rich in protein and calcium, help maintain blood vessel elasticity, are good for the brain, and prevent fatty liver. They also have anti-cancer properties. This porridge is paired with the common "sparerib and green bean" combination, a new way to enjoy this dish. I personally love it. Porridge is the most nourishing food, so you can have some every day. We can also make green bean soup, which is also delicious!
Food Recommendation #6 Spicy Ham and Mixed Vegetable Pizza>>>
Reason for recommendation: Its colorful appearance and tempting aroma, with its rich fillings, paired with a fresh crust, premium cheese, and top-tier pizza sauce—you definitely won't be able to resist this temptation. Although green beans are just an ingredient, this dish is impressive for family gatherings or as a gift for friends. I hope everyone can think outside the box in their cooking and create more delightful foods that bring joy!

Food Recommendation #7 Honey Bean Cakes>>>
Reason for recommendation: Red beans, also known as love beans, are common in our lives. Red beans strengthen the spleen to stop diarrhea, promote urination to reduce swelling, and promote fluid flow. They are also excellent for nourishing the blood. In a previous article, I mentioned red bean and crucian carp soup, a great detoxifying food. For those prone to small pimples, you might want to give it a try. It's a great choice for beauty, skincare, and balanced nutrition!
Food Recommendation #8 Longan, Jujube, and Red Bean Soup>>>
Reason for recommendation: This soup has a rich, sweet, and mellow flavor. Longan pulp is warm in nature and sweet in taste, benefiting the heart and spleen, replenishing Qi and blood. It not only tonifies the spleen but also preserves blood without depletion. Jujubes are rich in protein, carotene, vitamins, and minerals like phosphorus, calcium, and iron. They are sweet and warm in nature, with the effects of tonifying the middle Qi, nourishing blood, and calming the spirit. Red beans are rich in vitamins B1 and B2, protein, and various minerals, with effects of nourishing and strengthening, strengthening the spleen, and nourishing the stomach. Longan, jujube, and red bean soup can promote urination and detoxification, nourish blood and benefit the spleen, and calm the heart and spirit. It has excellent nourishing properties.
Food Recommendation #9 Breakfast Oatcakes>>>
Reason for recommendation: Oats are sweet and neutral in nature. They benefit the spleen and nourish the heart, and can control sweating. They have high nutritional value and can be used for those with general weakness, spontaneous sweating, night sweats, or tuberculosis patients. They are also good for lowering cholesterol, aiding in weight loss, and reducing blood sugar. This delicious breakfast is not difficult to make and is very suitable for home cooking. I hope you will like it!
Points to note: When eating whole grains, drink plenty of water. The fiber in whole grains needs sufficient water to support normal intestinal function. Generally, for every doubling of fiber intake, you should double your water intake. Increase your intake of whole grains gradually. A sudden increase or decrease can cause digestive issues. For those who usually eat a meat-heavy diet, it's important to increase whole grains gradually to help your intestines adapt. When eating whole grains with meat, when preparing your daily meals, in addition to considering your taste preferences, you should also balance your diet with a mix of meat and vegetables. The daily intake of whole grains should be 30-60 grams, but this can be adjusted according to individual circumstances.
