Goji berries are so nutritious, what's the best way to eat them?
Goji berries are listed by the Ministry of Health as a "dual-use" food and medicine. They can be processed into various foods, beverages, health wines, and health products. They are also frequently added to soups and porridges.
But the most convenient and simplest method is to soak goji berries in water. However, there are a few points to note:
1. After soaking goji berries, the truly nutritious part is the solid matter, not the water.
2. The advantage of soaking goji berries in hot water is that it can quickly soften them and has a certain sterilizing effect, but the disadvantage is also obvious: it easily causes the goji berries to change color.
As mentioned earlier, the color of goji berries is due to natural pigments. Discoloration means the destruction of pigment components and a reduction in nutritional value, so protecting that bright red color is also important. The red pigment in goji berries is destroyed in alkaline environments or when exposed to oxidation.
The simplest method is to add a vitamin C tablet to the water. Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, can both adjust acidity and prevent oxidation.
Who shouldn't eat goji berries?
Many people say that eating goji berries can cause "heatiness," which varies from person to person. However, goji berries are considered a warm food, and some people are indeed unsuitable to eat them. For example, people with colds and fevers, various inflammatory conditions, diarrhea, high blood pressure, diabetes, weak stomachs, or those with excessive sexual desire may have their conditions worsened or experience discomfort.
However, for healthy individuals, consuming about 20g of goji berries daily is appropriate and poses no harm.
In short, goji berries are a very healthy food. When tired from work, a cup of goji berry tea can refresh the mind, eliminate fatigue, and improve focus and efficiency.
