In March of Yangchun, the elm trees also appeared green. From a distance, you can see the new green on the branches. When you come closer, you can see that the golden and light green elm money is full of branches, swaying in the spring breeze. , I took a bunch of elm money, flicked it with my fingers, rinsed it with water, and put it in my mouth. With its smooth texture and delicate fragrance, spring came into our lives like this.
The elm money is the samara of the elm tree. It is named because it is round and thin like a coin, and because it is a homonym for "remaining money", there is a saying that there is "remaining money" after eating elm money. Yuqian is rich in nutrients, not only delicious, but also preventive and health care. According to measurement, every 100 grams of yuqian contains 8.5 grams of carbohydrates, 3.8 grams of protein, 1 gram of fat, 1.3 grams of dietary fiber, 3.5 grams of minerals, 280 mg of calcium, 100 mg of phosphorus, 22 mg of iron, and 0.1 mg of vitamin B1 and B2 each. , Niacin 1.4 mg and so on. Yuqian is extremely rich in iron, 11 times that of spinach and 50 times that of tomatoes. In traditional Chinese medicine: Yuqian has the effects of invigorating the spleen and calming the nerves, clearing the heart and reducing fire, relieving cough and phlegm, clearing heat and diuresis, killing insects and reducing swelling.

8. Wash the red dates, remove the pits, and cut into small pieces for later use.
