The pigeon, also known as the white phoenix, is also known as the domestic pigeon and the dove. It is a vertebrate of the genus Birds and Columbine. The ancestors of pigeons are wild rock pigeons. The nutritional value of pigeons is extremely high. It is not only a valuable delicacy, but also a high-level tonic. Pigeon meat is a high-protein, low-fat food with a protein content of 24.47%, which exceeds that of rabbits, cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese and dogs. The protein contains many essential amino acids for the human body, and it is digested and absorbed The rate is 95%, and the fat content of pigeon meat is only 0.73%, which is lower than other meats and is an ideal food for humans. Pigeon eggs are called "animal ginseng" and are rich in protein. There is a saying in our country that "one pigeon wins nine chickens".

Pigeon meat is not only rich in nutrition, but also has certain health benefits. It can prevent and treat a variety of diseases.

Ingredients

Pigeon Soup with Red Dates and Wolfberry

1. Prepare the ingredients needed to make the soup

2. Soak the cleaned pigeons in clean water for half an hour to get blood

3. Cut green onion into small pieces, slice ginger, rinse with red dates and wolfberry

4. Add appropriate amount of water to the steamer to boil

5. After the pigeon is washed away from the blood, replace with clean water and add all the ingredients and appropriate amount of salt into the steamer

6. I cooked for an hour and forty-five minutes. My home is a 9-inch soup pot

Tips:
1. The pigeons are more nutritious, but the soup that is steamed over water is too slow. You can use that small stewing pot to make it faster

2. Steaming in water is the best way to preserve nutrients

3. There is a child in my family, and the pigeon meat needs to be rotten. Add more water, so the steaming time is very long. The time can be based on your own situation.
