Why do you have to eat hard when you are young? This is actually a traditional custom.

Although Xiaoman symbolizes the arrival of a bumper harvest, it is only a time when the green and yellow are not connected. Therefore, in the past, many people had to satisfy their hunger with bitter vegetables. Bitter vegetables have become a unique dietary custom in Xiaoman solar terms. Bitter dishes are one of the customs of Xiaoman solar terms. The season of bitter vegetables is around Xiaoman, and bitter vegetables are one of the earliest edible wild vegetables in China. The gradual increase in the temperature of Xiaoman solar term is also very easy to cause yin and body fluid damage, which leads to the continuous increase of human heat and the emergence of "heat syndrome". Bitter vegetables have the functions of clearing heat, cooling blood and detoxifying. The dry and hot wind that often appears in Xiaoman often causes people to have dry and hot symptoms. At this time, bitter vegetables are good for your health.
