Seasonal Crops of December
 2023-12-07

Heavy snow. Heavy snowfall. The beginning of mid-winter 

Heavy Snow is the third solar term of winter. It officially marks the entrance of the coldest period of winter, with shorter daylights and lower temperatures. In addition to keeping your head and feet warm during Winter Commences, it is also very important to keep your neck and back warm after heavy snow. Avoid staying up late and keep exercising, mainly low- to medium-intensity exercises, such as walking, jogging and yoga. When it comes to diet, it should be warm and mainly nourish the kidneys and the intake of salty foods should be reduced. Warm vegetables include ginger, pumpkin and onions. Seasonal crops change with time. Consuming plants in season gives the benefit of less pesticides when the vegetables are planted and harvested at the best time. The taste is better, too. Also, as it is in season, the production is more while the price is less.

新會柑果味較甜的二紅柑已經應市,直至12月中。晒陳皮的同時,大家又係時候重溫一下如何製作手工柑醬,以免再有數以噸計的柑肉被棄置,十分可惜。此外,簡簡單單,用柑肉榨果汁、製成為柑肉果乾片,甚至煮餸,亦可以。若柑肉真的太多,也可以在惜食人FoodWiser面書群組分享給惜食人,唔浪費。惜食人FoodWiser面書群組連結 QR code 在圖片上。
