Microwave roasted chestnuts
Overview
Autumn is a good season for eating chestnuts. There is a Chinese folk proverb: in July, carambolas are eaten in August, and in September, chestnuts are full of laughter. Chestnuts are known as the king of dried fruits and the fruit of the kidneys. Together with peaches, apricots, plums, and dates, they are also known as the five fruits. They are among the best fruits that strengthen the spleen, nourish the kidneys, and prolong life. Chestnuts are sweet and warm in nature, and enter the spleen, stomach, and kidney meridians. They nourish the stomach and strengthen the spleen, nourish the kidneys and strengthen muscles, activate blood circulation and stop bleeding. Cooked chestnuts can harmonize with the stomach, strengthen the spleen, and relieve spleen deficiency. Chestnut kernels are steamed and ground into powder to make cakes, which are suitable for children who eat less and are thin to increase appetite and regulate their stomach. Cooking porridge with chestnuts and japonica rice is not only beneficial to the early recovery of patients with chronic diarrhea caused by deficiency of the spleen and stomach, but it is also a dietary prescription for the elderly with indigestion and qi deficiency. Note when eating chestnuts: It is best to eat chestnuts as a snack between meals, or eat them with meals, rather than eating large amounts after meals. This is because chestnuts contain a lot of starch, and eating them after meals makes it easy to consume too many calories, which is not conducive to weight maintenance. Pregnant women often eat chestnuts, which can not only keep fit and strengthen bones, but also help the development and maturity of the pelvis, and can also eliminate fatigue. Moreover, the fried chestnuts are sweet and delicious, making it a very good delicacy. In this regard, being in Beijing is also beneficial. There are many chestnut trees in the surrounding mountains. It is said that mature chestnuts will burst and fall. But I didn’t have time to pick it up. The one I used today was picked up by an old lady in the community. When I came back, I put it in a pot outside the community market to sell it. I bought 4 kilograms of real wild chestnuts. When I came back, I baked half of them in the hot oven where the cake was baked. Later I decided that it was not worth the trouble of preheating some chestnuts, so I microwaved them. I didn’t expect that the microwave ones are so delicious, and they are more time-consuming than the oven ones.
