It is a cheap dish in summer and is called 'longevity dish' in people's eyes. It can replenish blood and calcium, and lighten stains.

Summer is the season when a large number of vegetables, melons and fruits are on the market. At this time, the vegetables grow naturally under natural conditions, which is what people call seasonal vegetables, which are not only cheap, but also taste much better than out-of-season vegetables. There are many vegetables that are ripe in summer, such as cucumbers, eggplants, peppers, beans, edamame, amaranth, etc. These vegetables are very nutritious. For example, the vegetable I am going to share today is a vegetable that ancient students almost always eat before exams. The red juice is called "Zhuangyuanhong". Safe and pollution-free green vegetables.

There is a saying: "Amaranth in June is an egg, and amaranth in July, gold is not exchanged." Eating amaranth in summer not only tastes soft and sweet, but also has high nutritional value. In some places, it is even called "longevity vegetable". The amaranth we often eat in our daily life includes red amaranth, white amaranth, wild amaranth and so on. Either way, they are very nutritious and healthy and easily absorbed by the body. Its iron and calcium content is higher than that of spinach, among which red amaranth is the best among fresh vegetables.

Red amaranth is rich in minerals, carotene, protein, vitamin C and other nutrients, and contains 350 micrograms of vitamin A per 100 grams. When the human body lacks vitamin A, it is impossible to see things in the dark, and in severe cases It can lead to night blindness. Regular consumption of red amaranth can supplement vitamin A and protect the eyesight.

Amaranth contains some sugars, phosphorus and carotene and other trace elements. These substances can nourish the skin, lighten pigmentation, improve the skin's antioxidant capacity and reduce the formation of wrinkles. It is often eaten with blood and beauty. , Improve the health care effect of immunity, so that people's skin becomes better and better, and the beauty effect is particularly good.

Amaranth is rich in dietary fiber, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and defecation. For people who are prone to constipation, it can play a role in relieving constipation symptoms. Because red amaranth is rich in iron, calcium and vitamin K, it can promote blood coagulation, increase the content of hemoglobin, improve the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells, and promote functions such as hematopoiesis. It is suitable for people with blood deficiency constitution or diseases with bleeding tendency.

There are many ways to eat amaranth, such as stir-frying, salad dressing, soup and other methods, all of which are very healthy. Such as boiled amaranth, cold red amaranth, amaranth fried meat or scrambled eggs can be. My favorite dish is the stir-fried red amaranth. It is simple, fast, and requires no skills at all. Everyone can make it healthy and delicious.

First, remove the roots of the purchased amaranth, then soak it in clean water. After cleaning, pick it into small pieces. Generally, an amaranth can be divided into three or four pieces. Then pour oil in the pot, when the oil is hot, add garlic, stir fry until fragrant, add the washed red amaranth, stir fry over high heat, and soon you will see that the amaranth becomes soft, and there will be a lot of red juice , add the right amount of salt to taste, you can take it out of the pot and put it on a plate, and a delicious dish is ready.
