Low-fat and highly nutritious, eat more beans instead of meat.

Introduction: Eating beans is better than eating meat, especially when fresh beans are tender and aromatic, which is also the best period for their nutritional quality. Besides being a leader in protein content among vegetables, fresh beans are also rich in various vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, making them a low-fat, high-nutrient ingredient.

Pea has excellent eye-protecting effects

Pea is a seasonal vegetable with round, fresh, and green grains, making it very attractive. Peas don't just win with their appearance; they are rich in vitamin A, which has the therapeutic effect of protecting the eyes. In addition, their vitamin C content is much higher than that of dried beans, making them delicious and helpful for improving immunity. Office workers who stare at computers all day can have an eye-protecting meal by stir-frying peas, carrots, and corn together. It is not only colorful and delicious but also nutritious, and can effectively relieve dryness and discomfort in the eyes. Children and the elderly can also eat it, as it is nutritious and easy to digest. When buying peas, choose fresh, dark green, and shiny beans. Pinch them; tender ones will release water, while old ones will be hard.

Fava Bean Soup is Fresh and Aromatic

Fava bean is sweet in taste and neutral in nature, nourishing the spleen and stomach. It is also rich in zinc, phospholipids, and choline, which have a brain-nourishing effect and is especially suitable for people with mental work. Fava beans should not be eaten raw. They can be stir-fried or cooked into porridge, but I prefer to make soup with them. When buying, choose large, plump, non-blackened, and non-borer-infested beans to ensure they are fresh and tender. When cooking fava beans at home, be sure to cook them thoroughly to prevent food poisoning. Also, do not eat too much at once, as it can easily cause bloating. Note that some people are allergic to fava beans, which can cause favism (an acute hemolytic disease), and such individuals must avoid eating them.

Snow Pea Salad is Refreshing

The tender, juicy, and fleshy pods of snow peas are a favorite for many, and those in spring and summer are particularly crisp, tender, and fresh. Different from peas and fava beans, we mainly eat the pods of snow peas. The B vitamins and vitamin C contained in the pods are water-soluble vitamins, which are easily lost during high-temperature cooking. In addition to being rich in vitamins, snow peas are also rich in dietary fiber, which can lower cholesterol, promote intestinal peristalsis, and help with bowel movements. When buying snow peas, choose those with deep color and a shiny surface, and pinch the peas inside the pod to see if they are of uniform size. Snow peas are not suitable for long-term storage and are best bought and eaten fresh.
