Purple Sweet Potato Smiling Face Pills - Be happy during the Chinese New Year
Overview
How can we celebrate the Chinese New Year without glutinous rice balls? Especially a bowl of red glutinous rice balls. Me and Carrot: When I was young, my family was not well off. With a salary of only 43 yuan and 18 cents per month, his father had to support his grandmother and fund all the expenses of his younger brother, who was more than ten years younger than him. The burden on his shoulders was heavy. So, my father, who was born in the city and grew up in the city, finally put aside his dignity as a city boy, picked up a hoe, and started digging soil on the barren hills behind the family compound, leveling the land and cultivating a few small vegetable plots. Played the dual role of both workers and farmers. In my memory, my father would get up early and go to bed late every day, weeding, plowing the ground, sowing seeds, watering, and fertilizing, so that the garden would bloom and bear fruit year after year. Throughout the year, the vegetable fields are always green with cabbages, luffa vines twining with leaves, lush peppers, pumpkins in full bloom, eggplants bearing fruit, and radishes frosty and snowy. Especially when I was a child, my father played a riddle to me on New Year's Eve: a red rooster with a green tail that fell into the ground. Since then, I have had an indescribable love affair with carrots. The radish flower cakes, radish snacks, and radish buns made by my mother were even more delicious for us to eat. No one suffered from malnutrition, which enabled us brothers and sisters to successfully overcome the difficulties. The sweet days have come, the big fish and meat have washed away the vegetarian food, and the carrots have disappeared from my mother’s dining table. But I always like it and miss it, and I eat scrambled radish with eggs, vegetarian shredded radish, mutton stewed carrot every now and then... This is not only because it is rich in carotene and multivitamins, and has good medical and health care effects, but more importantly, I love chewing the unforgettable years accumulated in it. About purple sweet potato: It is said that purple sweet potato is rich in about 20% protein, including 18 kinds of amino acids, selenium and anthocyanins, and has special health care functions. French scientist Dr. Masquelet also discovered that anthocyanins are natural and powerful free radical scavengers. They are the only substances that can pass through the blood-brain barrier to scavenge free radicals and protect brain cells. And I like purple sweet potato because its purple flavor and soft, glutinous sweetness attract my vision and taste.
