Dried fig and turtle soup---nourishing and nourishing soup
Overview
There must be a good bowl of heart-warming soup on the New Year's Eve dinner table. When the family is reunited, a bowl of hot soup warms the heart of a wanderer who has been wandering away for a year. A bowl of hot soup soaks up the love of parents and the wrinkles on the face. A bowl of hot soup soaks up the hearts of the whole family! Today I would like to recommend a dried fig and turtle soup to everyone. This is an understated and earthy fruit. It has no gorgeous flowers, no fragrant smell, does not attract bees or butterflies, but it silently bears a tree full of sweet fruits. It is a fig. My home, Rongcheng City, Weihai, is located at the easternmost tip of the Shandong Peninsula. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides and has outstanding maritime climate characteristics. It has four distinct seasons, a mild climate, few severe cold winters, obvious monsoons, and humid air, which is very suitable for the growth of figs. The figs here have thin skins and no seeds, soft and glutinous flesh, sweet flavor, fresh and refreshing, and are popular fruits favored by men, women, and children. It is precisely because of the unique geographical environment and climatic conditions that Rongcheng figs are large in size, good in quality and rich in flavor, and are known as the best figs in China. According to the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", figs are sweet and mild in nature and have no toxic or side effects. They have the functions of nourishing, moisturizing the intestines, appetizing, promoting lactation, clearing away heat, anti-inflammatory, stopping dysentery, treating sore throat, wheezing and coughing, and hemorrhoids. Rongcheng figs are rich in fructose and glucose, with a content between 15% and 22%, twice as much as many other fruits. They contain a variety of vitamins and more than 30 kinds of lipid substances, which have significant effects on fighting leukemia, treating heart disease, liver disease, hypertension, restoring physical strength and eliminating fatigue. They are called the Queen of Fruits and the Fruit of Life. The selenium content of Rongcheng figs is 100 times that of edible fungi and 400 times that of garlic. Japanese scientists extracted benzyl ester, bergamot, psoralen and other anti-cancer substances from Rongcheng fig juice. They have obvious inhibitory effects on cancer cells, especially gastric cancer. They are known as the patron saint of human health in the 21st century. Dried figs are generally used for retail consumption, but many friends don’t know that using them to make soup can best express the essence of figs. The dry matter content of figs is very high, 14-20% for fresh fruits and more than 70% for dried fruits. Among them, the glucose content that can be directly absorbed and utilized by the human body accounts for 34.3% (dry weight), fructose accounts for 31.2% (dry weight) and sucrose only accounts for 7.82% (dry weight). Therefore, the calories are low and it is called low-calorie food in Japan. Domestic medical research has proven that it is a weight loss health food.
