Stewed chicken soup with Maca and red dates
Introduction:
"In my family, there is usually more than one soup for new year's dinner. Mutton noodles, beef soup, chicken soup, sweet soup... Sometimes I feel like I'm full of soup.. Ha ha ~ but no matter how it changes, chicken soup is absolutely one of the standard. Modern people's health consciousness is stronger and stronger, the traditional chicken soup, has been unable to meet our needs. On the basis of the traditional chicken soup, this "Maca red date chicken soup" not only adds the red dates for nourishing blood and Qi, but also adds the same health preserving holy product: "Maca". It is estimated that most of my classmates are unfamiliar with Maca, so I'd better popularize the basic knowledge first. Maca, also known as "Maka", is a semi wild plant, belonging to the genus Epiphyllum of Cruciferae. Maca is precious not only because of its rich nutrients, but also because of its unique growth environment and conditions. First of all, the growth of Maca needs special environment and climate. It requires an altitude of more than 3500 meters, bad climate and fertile land, temperature difference between day and night of more than 40 degrees, do not need fertilizer, also can not fertilize. Secondly, after planting Maca once, the land should be recuperated for more than seven years to restore fertility, otherwise it cannot be cultivated. (this seems to be true for most precious medicinal materials, such as Cordyceps, ginseng, etc.) Then let's talk about its nutritional value: studies have shown that Maca has unique and rich phytochemical components and bioactive substances for human health, reproduction, anti-aging and providing life power. To put it simply, Maca is almost suitable for all kinds of people to eat, and has the effect of anti-aging, enhancing immunity and improving metabolism. In addition, for a variety of chronic diseases (diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc.), it has a good adjuvant treatment effect. After reading the above introduction, it's time to invite everyone to drink soup! Chicken soup with Maca and jujube can taste sweet and delicious with a little salt
