Nutritionists believe that soy products, sesame, peanuts, walnuts, sunflower seeds, pine nuts, dairy products, eggs, fish, shrimp, animal liver, lean meat, chicken skin, pig's trotters, mushrooms, black fungus, honey, royal jelly, pollen, and various fruits and vegetables are "foods for the skin" and should be eaten frequently. Now, let me introduce several dietary recipes that are suitable for spring beauty and beneficial for spring health.
Date and Peanut Stewed Pig's Trotters: Ingredients include 100g of dates, 100g of peanuts, 4 pig's trotters, 25ml of cooking wine, 60ml of soy sauce, 30g of sugar, 30g of green onion, 15g of fresh ginger, star anise, Sichuan peppercorn, fennel, monosodium glutamate, and salt in appropriate amounts. Wash the dates and peanuts with water and put them in a bowl, then soak them in a small amount of water. Remove the hair from the pig's trotters and wash them, then put them in a pot and add an appropriate amount of water. Cook until they are 80% done, then remove and mix with soy sauce. Heat some oil in the pot until it is 70% hot, then pour in the pig's trotters and fry until golden brown. Transfer them to a clay pot, add enough water to submerge the pig's trotters, bring to a boil, and add the dates, peanuts, and seasonings. Continue to stew the pig's trotters over low heat until they are tender. The recommended dosage is to eat one pig's trotter, along with an appropriate amount of dates and peanuts, every day. It can be eaten over 4 days, and this process can be repeated for 2 weeks or consumed regularly. This recipe is not only beneficial for beauty and wrinkle prevention, but also helps maintain skin elasticity. It can also nourish blood, calm the mind, and tonify the middle and benefit qi. In addition to its cosmetic and anti-wrinkle effects, it also has preventive and therapeutic effects on anemia, decreased platelets and white blood cells, and weakness.
