The cold dew in the twenty-four solar terms can be eaten when sesame moistens the lungs and benefits the stomach.

On October 8th, 65438/kloc-0, cold dew was the first solar term with the word "cold" among the 24 solar terms. If the previous Millennium solar terms marked the change from hot to cold, then the cold dew solar terms meant the change from cold to cold.

Cold dew always cools down too fast, which brings trouble to the adaptation of somatosensory sensation. In addition to clothing, with the arrival of the cold dew solar term, people should also change their eating habits and eat more foods that nourish yin and prevent dryness, moisten the lungs and benefit the stomach, such as sesame seeds.

The folk have always had the custom of "eating sesame seeds in cold dew", especially eating black sesame seeds. It is said that eating black sesame seeds can not only "nourish" a black hair, but also protect and beautify the skin and delay aging. Therefore, there is a folk saying that "chewing black sesame seeds will not make you white at the age of 100". It is not expected to be "a hundred years old without white hair", but it is still necessary to moisten the lungs and prevent dryness in the cold season.

Here I also recommend a way to eat:

Boil black sesame seeds into sesame paste and add some rock sugar. Drinking it once every morning and evening can effectively reduce the irritation to the lungs, at the same time, it can moisturize the respiratory tract, moisten the lungs and relieve cough, and even feel very smooth when breathing.

Think the taste is single? You can also try: wash the rice, drain it, fry it thoroughly, dry it and cool it; Sesame and peanuts are also fried; Put it into a soymilk machine, add boiling water, and paste it.

Besides, you can also try sesame and mung bean cake. Especially in some areas in the north, there is a proverb that "sesame and mung bean cakes are not eaten long enough", which means that sesame and mung beans have the function of detoxification.
