養顏食材大比拼
想食甜品養顏，除了傳統的燕窩和雪耳，桃膠、雪燕、雪蓮子等食材都是近年的熱門選擇，這些都是吃起來感覺黏黏稠稠的食材，感覺和吃燕窩、雪耳有點相似，但價錢平一大截，養顏功效是否一樣呢？從中醫角度來看，這些質感黏稠的食物有養津液的功效，但對它們的養陰作用不要過份期待，因為桃膠其實是樹脂，雪燕是蘋婆樹的木髓分泌物，雪蓮子則是豆科皂莢的果實，與花膠、燕窩等具有動物性蛋白質不一樣，沒有直接補充皮膚骨膠原的功效，反而它們含膳食纖維，比較潤腸通便，腸胃好皮膚亦會比較好，算是間接對養顏有幫助吧。所以烹煮它們時宜配合體質，配搭雪耳、百合、紅棗、蓮子等溫潤食材以達到養顏功效。

花膠 — 性平，能滋陰養顏，補腎益精。因為有滋潤功效，過量食用易累積濕氣，使脾胃虛弱，更可能出現被倦、水腫等問題。要注意脾虛痰濕、濕熱、容易消化不良、胃脹不適、感冒未清都不適宜食用。較適合陰虛、體質虛弱人士適量食用。

燕窩 — 性平，有益氣養陰、補虛潤燥的作用，適合氣陰兩傷、營養不良、陰虛內熱、病後體虛人士食用。

雪蛤膏 — 取自雌性雪蛤的輸卵管及脂肪，性平，有補腎益精、滋陰潤肺、健脾益氣的功效，適合身體虛弱、病後失調、心悸失眠人士食用。

桃膠 — 是桃或山桃樹分泌的樹脂，性平，有潤腸通便的功效，也有古籍提過對尿道炎有幫助，主要功效並非養顏，但是由於可以有助排便，亦即有助排毒。由於較難消化，消化力弱、容易胃脹、腹瀉者不宜多吃。

皂角米 — 皂角米俗稱雪蓮子、皂角米、皂角仁、皂角精，是皂莢的果實。 性味辛溫，有通乳、潤腸通便的功效，但陰虛燥熱人士慎服。

雪燕 — 蘋婆屬植物的木髓分泌物，性平，有滋陰潤肺、潤腸通便、滋潤皮膚等功效，對皮膚乾燥、乾咳、便秘很有幫助。 平日痰多、容易胃脹不適、大便稀爛等不宜食用。

The battle of ingredients that are good for the skin
Besides the traditional bird’s nest and snow fungus, peach resin, gum tragacanth (‘Xue Yan’), and snow lotus seeds are also trendy ingredients used in desserts that could nourish our beauty. These ingredients are thick and sticky and taste like bird’s nest and snow fungus, but their prices are much reasonable. Do they have the same properties then?

From the perspective of Chinese Medicine, these elastic and sticky ingredients can induce saliva production, but do not expect them to be excellent ingredients that can nourish the yin. This is because peach resin is resin, gum tragacanth is the dried sap obtained from trees, and snow lotus seeds are the fruits of plants from the Leguminosae family, and their protein composition is different from the animal-based fish maw and bird’s nest. Hence, they do not directly replenish the collagen on the skin.

Yet, they are high in dietary fibers and can aid digestion and in turn, improve our skin condition. They are, in a way, good ingredients that are good for our skin. Do prepare these ingredients according to the body constitutions, and consume them with ingredients that are warm in nature and have moisturizing properties such as snow fungus, lily, red date, and lotus seed.

Fish maw - mild in nature, nourishes yin and improves skin, replenishes kidneys. Due to its effect to nourish and moisten, having too much can lead to dampness stagnation in the body. This leads to asthenic weak spleen and stomach, and even fatigue and edema. Fish maw is not suitable for those with asthenic spleen, phlegm and dampness or damp heat body types, those who are prone to indigestion, abdominal discomfort, and those who are recovering from flu and cold. It is suitable for those with yin deficiency and asthenic weak body types.

Bird’s nest - neutral in nature, can nourish qi and yin, improve deficiencies and relieve dryness. It is suitable for individuals with damaged qi and yin, yin deficiency and internal heat, people who are malnourished, and those who are recovering from illness.

Hashima paste - extracted from the dried fatty tissue found near the fallopian tubes of true frogs; neutral in nature, can nourish the kidney and invigorate the energy, nourish the yin, moisten the lungs, and strengthen the spleen and qi. It is suitable for individuals with a weak body, patients whose balance in the body has yet to be fully restored, and those suffering from insomnia.

Peach resin - the natural resin secreted from a tree. Mild in nature. Ancient books mention that it can help with urinary tract infection, so its main healing effect isn’t for skin nor beauty. Since peach resin helps with bowel movement which means detoxification. Because of its difficulty in digestion, those with weak digestion, bloating, and diarrhea should not eat more.

Snow lotus seed- the fruits of plants from the Leguminosae family; warm in nature; can enhance lactation, promote bowel movement and help individuals lose weight. Not suitable for yin deficient people.

Gum tragacanth - the dried sap obtained from trees; is mild in nature; can nourish the yin, moisten the lungs, improve digestion and bowel movements, and hydrate the skin. It can relieve dry skin, dry cough, and constipation. Individuals stricken with phlegm, stomach bloating, and loose stools should avoid eating this.

每次過年總會發現一些全家都只會台語，沒人知道怎麼寫的食材⋯例如這個口感有點像栗子與黃豆的綜合體、台語發音「品彭」的食物，本名為「鳳眼果」，又稱蘋婆、羅晃子，外殼像大型的深紅色豆莢，黃色果實外還有一層黑色的殼，在植物界裡也算是長得蠻時尚的⋯根據醫藥百科，果實性甘，有溫胃、治腹痛的功效。

雖然不明白它跟鮑魚、白菜、獅子頭、勾芡之間的關係，不過也是順便長了知識。（除了獵奇長輩圖與麻將以外的小樂趣）

Always found new things in the new year dish that everyone knows how to pronounce in Taiwanese but don't know how do they written - for example this thing we found today: phoenix eye fruit, a fruit taste like chestnut mix beans (it also called Thai chestnut) sounds like "ping pong" in Taiwanese, which is grow in a dark red/brown pod with a black shelf outside the yellow bean. Sounds like a fashion icon in vegetable world.. lol

According to Chinese herbal medical encyclopedia, this fruit tastes sweet and able to cure stomach problems. Although I don't get the reason to cook it with abalone, cabbage and meatball, but it was fun to discover new interesting ingredients on the table.

大家還記得上週問大家的奇特水果嗎？
答案公布!!!
就是"鳳眼果"，或稱"蘋婆.頻婆.吉祥果"
Q老師去問了一下估狗大神，大神說鳳眼果是梧桐科 蘋婆屬 植物蘋婆。
*果期.分佈→→→在7至8月，出產於嶺南地區，雲南南部地區和臺灣地區，印度、印尼、馬來西亞、泰國和越南也有。
*營養→→→富含澱粉、脂肪、蛋白質和膳食纖維，也含有少量的礦物質和維生素，營養價值很高。種子還富含具有較強生理活性的多酚類（polyphenols）成分。
*功效→→→動物實驗證實，小鼠口服蘋婆種子的甲醇提取物能減少胃酸分泌，調節血清神經肽（neuropeptide）水平，增強胃中超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）的活性，減少胃中丙二醛（MDA）的生成，從而對利血平（reserpine）導致的胃潰瘍有保護作用。

頻婆種子的種皮有4層，吃的時候需煮熟後再剝外皮，口感有點類似栗子，大家有機會看到一定也要品嘗看看哦！
