Yuqian salty food

Overview

The elm tree is a common tree species in northern my country. The elm money is the seed of the elm tree. It is named because its shape is round and thin like paper money. And because it is a homophone for "surplus money", there is a saying that eating elm money can make you have more money. About a week after the Qingming Festival, when the spring breeze blows the first ray of warmth, the green and slightly yellow elm coins are covered in bunches on the branches. People will pick them while they are fresh and make various delicacies. Yuqian can clear the heart and reduce fire, relieve cough and reduce phlegm, clear away heat and diuresis, kill insects and reduce swelling, and also has the effect of treating insomnia. Yuqian can strengthen the spleen and stomach, and treat loss of appetite; its pungent taste can enter the lung meridian, clearing away lung heat, lowering lung qi, and has the effect of moistening the lungs, relieving cough and reducing phlegm.
