Grilled Bananas
Everyone knows that bananas have a laxative effect and are very simple to eat. Just peel them in a jiffy and you can enjoy the delicious fruit. In fact, besides eating them raw, you can also grill them. Wash a whole banana with its peel under clean water, then grill it in the microwave for 3 minutes. The aroma fills the air, and it's served piping hot. It not only warms your stomach but also has a softer, sweeter texture. Moreover, it has detoxifying effects. For those who often eat grilled foods, eating some grilled bananas can reduce the risk of cancer. Remember, grilled bananas must be eaten with the peel, as it has a certain therapeutic effect on treating hemorrhoids.
Boiled Sugarcane
Eating more sugarcane in autumn and winter helps with hydration, and people with dry skin should eat more of it. However, sugarcane is very hard and often leaves the mouth full of scrapes. So, let's try a different way to eat it. Peel the sugarcane, cut it into sections, and cook it with pears and water chestnuts in cold water for about 40 minutes. The resulting water is light and sweet, making it the best drink for autumn and winter. It also has health benefits, such as nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, and stimulating the appetite.
Steamed Pineapple
Many people love pineapple. It not only whets the appetite but can also effectively treat constipation. However, it's a double-edged sword. It can not only sour your teeth and cause mouth sores but is also very likely to cause allergic reactions. Let's make a pineapple boat. Peel a whole pineapple, hollow out the center, and fill it with glutinous rice and red dates. Steam it in a steamer for about an hour. The fragrance of rice mixed with pineapple is sweet and sour, and the taste is especially good. Plus, you don't have to worry about allergies, so you can eat to your heart's content. It also helps to strengthen the spleen and stomach.
Soaked Orange
Oranges are rich in vitamin C, stimulate the appetite, and aid bowel movements, making them a favorite fruit for many. However, oranges are cool in nature, so it's not suitable to eat them raw in autumn and winter. Making orange tea is a good choice. Slice the orange and steep it in water, adding a bit of honey. It's sweet and sour, aids digestion, and helps to relieve stress and anxiety when you have a cup during your work break. You can also boil the orange peel in water to make a refreshing drink. Drinking a cup before a meal can stimulate your appetite and soften blood vessels.
Stewed Durian
Durian is the king of fruits, rich in various vitamins. However, many people simply can't stand its smell, and eating it raw can easily cause dryness and nosebleeds. Since the human body is already dry in autumn and winter, how can we add fuel to the fire? The problem is easily solved by stewing it in chicken soup. Put the durian, chicken, ginger, red dates, and walnut kernels in a pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer slowly on low heat. The resulting soup is nourishing and healthy. It also removes the drying effect of durian, so you don't have to worry about nosebleeds. Of course, the strong smell of durian is also much milder.
