Delicious! An alternative way to make pumpkin and red date soup

Many people like to eat pumpkin by steaming it, but I prefer to cook it in soup, with some red dates, brown sugar and red dates. It is really delicious. Normally, pumpkin and red dates soup only requires washing pumpkin and red dates, putting them in a clay pot, adding some water and stewing directly. It is very simple. But today, I want to share an alternative method of pumpkin and red dates soup.

Pumpkin and red dates soup recipe

The content of calcium, iron and carotene in old pumpkin is higher. These are beneficial for the prevention and treatment of asthma. Chinese medicine believes that pumpkin is warm in nature and sweet in taste, and enters the spleen and stomach meridians. It has the functions of replenishing qi, relieving inflammation and pain, detoxifying and killing insects. It can be used for qi deficiency and fatigue, intercostal neuralgia, malaria, dysentery, opium detoxification, roundworm expelling, bronchial asthma, diabetes and other symptoms.

2. Pumpkin is warm in nature, so people with stomach heat should eat less. Pumpkin is stagnant in nature, so people with qi stagnation and fullness in the middle should eat it with caution. Pumpkin is one of the foods that cause allergies, so it is not suitable to be eaten while taking Chinese medicine.
