For Guilingjiao, southerners, especially those in Guangdong and Guangxi, are very familiar with it. Northerners rarely eat it. Although there are often canned foods in supermarkets in the north, most people still don’t know how to eat them and what effect they can do.
In fact, there are many benefits of eating Guiling paste. It is made from multi-flavored Chinese herbal medicine. It has been eaten as a medicated diet a long time ago. It can promote metabolism, clear heat and reduce fire, moisturize the lungs and relieve cough, and can also beautify the skin, nourish yin and nourish the kidney. If you have sore throat, hemorrhoids, prickly heat, and constipation, eating it can also improve it to a certain extent. Modern nutrition studies have found that Guiling paste contains a variety of active polysaccharides and amino acids, has the characteristics of low-calorie, low-fat, and low-cholesterol, and can regulate blood lipids and blood sugar.
Guiling paste is black and slightly transparent. It was first produced in Wuzhou, Guangxi. It is a health food made from eagle-billed tortoise and Smilax glabra as the main raw materials, and added with licorice, red dates, mulberry leaves, honeysuckle, honey, chrysanthemum, etc. after a long time of cooking. In the past, some tortoises were often raised in front of herbal tea shops in Guangdong to attract customers. However, most of the tortoises sold now use tortoise glue instead of wild turtles and fresh turtle shells, or tortoise plates are ground into powder and mixed with poria and chicken. It is made of ten kinds of Chinese medicine.
Guangdong is rainy and humid, warm in winter and hot in summer. Therefore, Cantonese who pay attention to heat-clearing and detoxifying, dehumidifying and removing heat often eat Guiling paste. Although the north is not as humid and hot as the south, there are too many fried or spicy foods, and it is inevitable to get angry. Eating some when appropriate will help eliminate the accumulated heat in the body and relieve the sore throat and colds caused by climate change. And other diseases.
