Toon sprouts come with spring, and they're delicious no matter how you cook them!
A few days ago, Huahua went to the supermarket and found that toon sprouts were selling for 50 yuan per jin - it scared Huahua to death! Huahua quickly called Mom and asked her to pick more for Huahua to eat!
Nutritional value of toon sprouts:
Toon sprouts contain nutrients such as phosphorus, carotene, iron, and vitamin B. They help strengthen the spleen and stimulate appetite, nourish the skin, and brighten the eyes, and they can also boost the body's immunity. They are a great food for dietary therapy and health care!
Precautions:1. Before eating toon sprouts, they must be blanched in hot water to remove nitrite and nitrate.
2. People with diabetes or other chronic diseases should try to avoid eating them.
Toon recipe one: Crispy fried toon
Benefits: Strengthens the spleen and stimulates appetite, boosts immunity
1. Put freshly picked or just-bought toon in hot water and blanch for about 1 minute, then scoop it out, drain the water, and set aside.
2. Mix flour and starch with clean water into a batter, then add salt and MSG. Finally, put the toon sprouts directly into the batter and coat them evenly.
3. Pour an appropriate amount of oil into the pan. When the oil is 60% hot, throw in the toon sprouts and fry them. Once the toon sprouts change color and float up, scoop them out quickly, otherwise leaving them too long can easily cause nutrient loss.

How to store toon you can't finish?
1. Freezing method
If you can't finish the toon you just bought, do not wash it. Let it dry slightly, put it in a storage bag, seal it, and place it in the freezer. When you want to eat it, take it out, thaw it, wash it clean, and it's ready to eat!
2. Salting method
Blanch fresh toon sprouts in boiling water, drain the water, sprinkle salt on the toon, mix it, and put it in a cool, ventilated place. When you want to eat it, just take it out and eat!
Elm seeds come with spring, and they'll give you spare money all year round!
Huahua still remembers that as a child, what she loved most was going with Grandma to pick elm seeds. Every time, Huahua ate while picking, and by the time she got home, her belly was already full!
Nutritional value of elm seeds:
Elm seeds contain substances such as niacin and ascorbic acid. They can strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach, clear heat and calm the mind, and also kill parasites, reduce swelling, relieve cough, and resolve phlegm. They truly have many benefits!
Elm seed recipe one: Steamed elm seeds
1. Soak fresh elm seeds in clean water for half an hour, then rinse them 3-5 times with clean water to wash them clean.
2. Put the washed elm seeds into hot water, add a spoonful of salt, and stir for 1 minute, then scoop them out. Whether bought or picked yourself, the outer skin may carry insects, so blanching in hot water scalds all the insects out, while adding a little salt can make the elm seeds greener.
3. Scoop out the blanched elm seeds, drain the water, put them in a container, add flour, and stir a little, trying to get every side of the elm seeds coated with flour.
4. Add hot water to the pot, place gauze on it, and put the flour-coated elm seeds into the pot. After the water boils, steam over high heat for 15 minutes.
5. For the steamed elm seed dish, you can add a little sizzling minced garlic and pepper, and the flavor is super fragrant!
Elm seed recipe two: Elm seed wowotou
1. Rinse the elm seeds several times and clean them, blanch them in hot water, drain the water, sprinkle on a little salt, and add a little cooking oil.
2. Add an appropriate amount of flour to the elm seeds and knead them a few times.
3. After mixing the elm seeds and flour evenly, knead into a dough shape, then poke a small hole in the bottom.
4. Put the shaped elm seed wowotou into the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then steam for 15 minutes.
5. Once the wowotou are steamed, take them out directly, then mix a bowl of seasoning with sesame oil, chili oil, sesame seeds, and so on, and they're ready to eat!
