Sea cucumber is suitable for people with kidney yang deficiency

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sea cucumbers, which taste sweet and salty, have the effect of nourishing the kidneys and strengthening yang. At the same time, sea cucumbers also contain rich amino acids, which are the main materials for synthesizing human collagen, so they can improve men's sexual ability.

Although sea cucumbers are good, they are not suitable for everyone. Sea cucumbers are a tonic food. People with external evils, excessive phlegm, and thick tongue coating should not eat them. People with diarrhea, dysentery, and weak spleen should not eat them either.

Dried sea cucumbers need to be expanded first. The common method is to soak them in boiling water for 24 hours until they are soft, cut open the belly, remove the internal organs, wash them, and then they can be cooked. When expanding sea cucumbers, the tools and water used must not be contaminated with oil, alkali, alum, salt, etc. Oil, alkali, and alum can easily cause the sea cucumbers to rot and dissolve, while salt makes it difficult for the sea cucumbers to be fully expanded. There are different ways to cook sea cucumbers, and the best methods are to grill, roast, simmer, and steam.
