Boiled mulberries in solar terms

Grain Rain is the sixth solar term among the 24 solar terms and the last solar term in spring. As the saying goes in Grain Rain season, "Rain gives birth to a hundred valleys", which means that around Grain Rain every year, because of the alternation of seasons, the precipitation increases obviously, and the crops in the fields are nourished by rain and glow with vitality.

The increase of rainfall is very beneficial to the growth of crops, but too much water is easy to make people feel uncomfortable. Therefore, there are many exquisite diets around Grain Rain. It is best to follow the seasons and eat more fresh foods in season.

Below, the small pot will recommend six kinds of foods that are most suitable for eating in Grain Rain season.

Spring tea in Grain Rain season is spring catechu, also called Grain Rain tea. There is a folk proverb: Grain Rain, Grain Rain, picks tea against the rain, which means that the tea buds picked in Grain Rain season are full and green due to abundant rainfall.

In ancient times, many literati who loved fragrant tea loved Grain Rain tea and wrote poems praising the fragrance of Grain Rain tea. At this time, you can drink grain rain tea in moderation, which can clear your heart and remove fire. The entrance is sweet and very moist.

Mulberries are the sweetest in Grain Rain, and may ripen later in the north because of the influence of temperature. Mature mulberries are seasonal fruits, which are shiny and have a honey-like taste, with a slightly sour aftertaste.

Mulberry is rich in nutrition. It is called "the third generation fruit" with seabuckthorn and raspberry, and is deeply loved by people. When eating mulberry, you can not only stutter empty, but also mix it with yogurt, which has stronger flavor and higher nutrition.

Zanthoxylum bungeanum shoots in the harvest season, namely Zanthoxylum bungeanum shoots. Zanthoxylum bungeanum sprouts are bright green, shiny, slightly hemp-flavored, appetizing and refreshing, and are particularly rare ingredients for sprouts.

Zanthoxylum bungeanum bud has many uses, such as cold salad, stir-frying, frying and boiling, with unique flavor and rich nutrition. My family likes to eat pepper buds wrapped in batter and fried in a pot. It is crispy and delicious, suitable for all ages.

Sophora japonica is delicious and refreshing. Grain Rain season is the best time to eat Sophora japonica. My grandmother is over eighty years old, and every year when she comes back from Grain Rain to pack jiaozi, she urges us to pick Sophora japonica.

The taste of Sophora japonica is sweet, and this natural and fresh taste cannot be artificially modulated. This is entirely a gift from nature. In addition to wrapping jiaozi, the best way to eat Sophora japonica is to fry eggs or steam flour. Every time I think about it, I can't help but swallow saliva.

Dandelion is also called huanghuamiao in my home, which is my favorite among many spring wild vegetables. Many people know that dandelion has medicinal value and making tea is good for health, but my favorite is Huanghuamiao meatballs made by my mother.

Wash and cut fresh day-lily seedlings, add eggs, flour, salt and thirteen spices to make a batter, make the batter into balls and put them in an oil pan. The freshly fried Huanghuamiao meatballs are crispy and appetizing, and their unique fragrance will not be covered by the smell of oil, which is very delicious.

If you see Toona sinensis in Grain Rain season, you should eat it again. Although the Toona sinensis at this time is not as tender as the first one, it is the end of this year's taste appreciation. As the saying goes: Spring buds are as tender as silk before the rain, but grow trees after the rain. After Grain Rain, Toona sinensis buds will be out of the market. If you want to eat again, you really have to wait until next year.

The most delicious way to eat Toona sinensis in my heart is to fry it with eggs. It would be better if we could find goose eggs. Protein and Toona sinensis are closely combined, delicate and smooth, with a fragrant aftertaste. That taste is really not for meat.

The seasonal food around Grain Rain pays attention to freshness and naturalness. In the alternation of seasons, we can feel the change of nature, from the taste in daily diet to the change of time. Don't eat from time to time, this is the wisdom of China people's diet, and it is also the law we follow when tasting delicious food.

These six kinds of food are just suitable for the harvest season. Don't forget to prepare for your family when you see them!
