Cucumber is the main force of summer cold dishes, rich in vitamin C and vitamin E, clearing heat and diuresis, detoxifying and reducing swelling, promoting body fluid and quenching thirst. Eating cucumber often can improve resistance and delay aging. Cucumber contains alanine and arginine, which can prevent alcoholism. Therefore, it is very suitable for snacks.
Cucumbers can be eaten as a vegetable or as a fruit. They are crisp, refreshing and appetizing. Cucumbers are very low in calories, and the propylene glycol contained in it can inhibit the conversion of sugars into fat. Therefore, it is a good diet for weight loss. Diabetics can also eat cucumbers with confidence.
Today, a friend asked, what do cucumbers go well with? My answer is that cucumbers are delicious when mixed with garlic, nepeta, and eggs. This dish is also often eaten in my family. Cucumber is paired with Nepeta, with garlic and sesame sauce. It has a special taste and is especially suitable for wine.
Regarding Nepeta, Nepeta is a special dish of our Henan, most of us here like to eat it, to the point where it needs to be used for cooking, soup, or noodles! For the Henanese who have been living away for a long time, Nepeta is the taste of hometown and the feeling of home; for me, Nepeta is the taste of summer, and if there is not it in summer, it will lose its color a lot. The Henan people’s affection for Nepeta is really unclear. In short, they like to eat, can’t give up, and can’t forget. Some friends from different places said that they couldn't stand the smell, and when they opened the bag, they smelled a strong strange smell, which was still a bit spicy. Haha, yes, nepeta contains volatile oil like peppermint, with a relatively strong aromatic smell, and it is indeed a bit spicy to eat. Those who like it want to add some dishes, but those who don't like it are afraid to avoid it!
Therapeutic effects of Nepeta: relieving the surface and dispelling wind, rashes, sores, and hemostasis. Used for colds, poor measles, bleeding in the stool, metrorrhagia, and epistaxis.
