"Pomelo" is here in winter, how do you eat it?

Grapefruit is delicious and nutritious

Pomelo is native to Southeast Asia and has been cultivated in China for more than 3,000 years

"Compendium of Materia Medica" records: grapefruit is sweet and sour, cold in nature, and has the functions of regulating qi and resolving phlegm, moistening the lungs and clearing the intestines, nourishing blood and strengthening the spleen

Authoritative information confirms that the glycemic index of grapefruit is 25, which is low, and its sugar content is only about 15%, so grapefruit is more suitable for diabetics

However, although grapefruit is good, it should be eaten in moderation

There are many rumors, so be careful to distinguish

"Eating grapefruit after taking the medicine may cause sudden death

Ruan Guangfeng reminded consumers that although such a statement is slightly exaggerated, it is not without foundation

According to the data, there are as many as 85 kinds of drugs that can cause adverse reactions when taken with grapefruit, most of which are commonly used drugs

Ruan Guangfeng said that the blood concentration is too high, which will make patients more vulnerable to the threat of drug side effects

Whether taking medicine and grapefruit together will cause harm to the human body has a lot to do with the amount eaten.

Grapefruit is divided into male and female, male grapefruit sour and female grapefruit sweet? The basis for this statement is that there is a small circle at the bottom of the grapefruit.

Red pomelo has better taste and higher nutritional value than white pomelo? There are many varieties of grapefruit, and the flesh is red or white.

Some red heart pomelo is pigmented, so the color of the pulp is uneven? The peel of grapefruit has a protective effect on the pulp.

Remember three tricks to choose a good grapefruit

　　How to choose high-quality and delicious grapefruit? The trick provided by Ruan Guangfeng is "three looks, one pinching and one weighing"

　　Look at the skin first

　　The pinched pomelo is firmer and firmer, which means the sac is firm and juicy

　　If the two grapefruits are about the same size, weigh them to see which one is heavier and has more water
.

Scientifically preserve grapefruit moisture without loss

　　Many people store the grapefruit they buy home in the refrigerator to keep fresh, but this approach is often counterproductive, because the humid environment in the refrigerator is more likely to cause the grapefruit to rot
.
The correct way is to put it in a ventilated and dry place to avoid direct sunlight, but you need to pay attention to two points, one is that the temperature of the surrounding environment cannot be lower than 10 ℃, and the other is not to squeeze each other
.

　　Grapefruits tend to be larger in size.
If the skin has been peeled off, it is best to put it in a fresh-keeping bag and put it in the refrigerator, which can effectively lock in moisture
.
You can also put the grapefruit back in the skin and cover it, and it can be stored for about 3 days even if it is not in the refrigerator
.
