In the scorching summer, enjoying a bowl of mung bean soup can not only cool down and quench thirst but also replenish minerals lost through sweat, making it especially suitable to drink after sweating.

Although mung beans have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, your precious bean is being abandoned.

Mung beans are a precious plant rich in nutrients such as protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, carotene, niacin, folic acid, and minerals.

In traditional Chinese medicine, it is considered a food and medicine in one, with various effects such as clearing heat and detoxifying, relieving summer heat and generating body fluids, and diuresis and reducing swelling.

According to Director Jiang, the so-called mung bean skin in traditional Chinese medicine is actually a carefully formulated Chinese herbal medicine.

The skin of mung beans, known as mung bean skin, is used to treat heatstroke. It has a sweet and cold nature. It functions to clear heat and toxins and improves vision. It has excellent effects in clearing heat and relieving summer heat, surpassing mung beans themselves.

Is it suitable to cook mung bean soup to promote flowering?

Dr. Shen Chen reminds that if the cooking time is too long, the heat-clearing and detoxifying effects of the bean skin will gradually weaken.

The heat-clearing and purging fire effect of the red soup far surpasses that of the green soup.

For those who are easily getting inflamed, drinking the green soup is undoubtedly a good choice.

For those with a weak spleen and stomach, if you want to enjoy mung bean soup, it is recommended to cook it a little longer. Drinking the red soup made from blooming mung beans is more suitable.

Making a bowl of mung bean soup:

As the cooking time prolongs, the heat-clearing and detoxifying effect of mung beans gradually weakens. Therefore, if you want to achieve the purpose of clearing heat and relieving summer heat, it is recommended to consume it when the mung beans are half bloomed but not to exceed half an hour of cooking time.

Cook mung beans with other ingredients to promote spleen and stomach health and eliminate dampness.
