Grapefruit is a favorite fruit. It is cheap and cheap. Grapefruit peel has high medicinal and edible value. Chinese medicine has long discussed grapefruit peel. The Compendium of Materia Medica records that grapefruit has the effects of "promoting digestion and accelerating the diaphragm, dispelling resentment, and resolving phlegm." When used as medicine, grapefruit peel is called orange red. It is warm in nature, bitter and spicy in taste. Grapefruit peel contains volatile oils, mainly citric acid and aromatic alcohols. It can dissipate cold and regulate qi, eliminate dampness and reduce phlegm, and promote digestion. It is suitable for treating cold, cold, cough, itching and phlegm in the throat.
Many people disapprove of the thick skin of grapefruit and discard it after peeling it. In fact, grapefruit peel can not only be eaten but also used, and can be regarded as an "all-round assistant" for family health.
Once I bought a big grapefruit to eat. My husband said that when he was a child, he often ate steamed pork made by grandma with rice flour. There was a lot of grapefruit peel added to it, which tasted very fragrant. Moreover, he was not afraid that the meat would not be digested if he ate too much. The grapefruit peel has the effect of digestion and regulating qi.

1. Be sure to select pork with a good balance of fat and lean meat; if it is too lean, it will lack juiciness and the texture will be poor.
2. Remember to soak the pomelo peel and change the water frequently; if the bitterness is not removed, it will affect the taste.
3. After mixing the rice flour and meat evenly, ensure there is a certain level of moisture; if there is too much dry powder, add an appropriate amount of water and stir.
