Chinese Toon Steamed Egg

Overview

Toon, also known as toon head and toon buds, is a tree vegetable that is available in early spring. The toon heads in early spring are silky and have a strong fragrance, especially the wild toon buds found in farmyards in mountain villages are the best. Toon has high nutritional value. In addition to protein, fat, and carbohydrates, it is also rich in vitamins, carotene, iron, phosphorus, calcium and other nutrients. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that toona is bitter in taste, neutral in nature, and non-toxic. It has the effects of appetizing and refreshing, dispelling wind and dampness, stopping bleeding, promoting qi, eliminating fire and detoxifying. Therefore, there is a saying among the people that regular consumption of toona buds will not cause illness. Modern medicine and clinical experience also show that toon can protect the liver, lungs, spleen, blood, and relax muscles. For example, toon decoction has an inhibitory effect on pneumococci, typhoid bacilli, dysentery bacilli, etc.; fresh toon buds, garlic cloves, and salt are pounded and applied externally, which has a good effect on treating sores, swelling, and poison; among the people, toon is boiled in water and taken to treat high fever and dizziness
