The 80-year-old grandmother has delicate and fair skin, her eyes are not dazzling and deaf, she doesn't even use a crutch when she walks, and the little old lady is in good spirits! Strange to say, we have the impression that milk, sea cucumbers and other nourishing foods, grandmothers are not used to eating, but favor black beans.
When you are young, you eat jealous black beans, your teeth degenerate when you are old, and a cup of black soy milk a day is standard for breakfast. She often says that "a bunch of tonics is not as good as a handful of black beans", which is also the dietary wisdom she has practiced for most of her life. Are black beans really that amazing? I searched for information and was amazed!
Because black beans contain comprehensive nutrition and high content, they are known as the "king of beans". It has more than 2 times the protein content of beef and 12 times that of milk!
In addition, calcium levels higher than 120 mg per 100 grams of food can be defined as a high-calcium food, while black beans can reach 224 mg. It can be seen that the nutritional value of black beans is so high, no wonder my grandmother's body is so tough!
Although black beans are highly nutritious, not being able to absorb everything is empty talk. The typical feature of black beans is that the texture is hard, how to fully absorb the nutrients of black beans and retain the mellow taste? Don't miss these 2 steps, this is the "secret" of eating black beans!
Step 1: Soak in advance
Modern people have invented a lot of time-saving kitchen appliances to save trouble, such as the soy milk machine with dry bean grinding function in order to avoid the cumbersome of soaking beans. But many people don't know that soaking beans in advance can increase the pulp yield of black beans and make soy milk taste more delicate.
In addition, the process of soaking the beans can also reduce the bean smell and make the soy milk more mellow. The most important thing is that beans can reduce the substances that are "detrimental to nutrient absorption" during the soaking process and improve the absorption and utilization of protein, so connoisseurs eat black beans most concerned about whether to soak in advance.
The second step is delicate grinding
We all know that the finer the grain is grinded, the more nutrients are lost, but black beans are different. Because its texture is too hard, it is very unfriendly to people with weak stomachs such as the elderly and children. Grinding black beans into a fine powder can fully release its nutrients and reduce the burden of subsequent absorption. This part that can be absorbed is more valuable than the nutrients that are lost.
Having said that, I believe everyone has a new understanding of black beans. Regardless of men, women and children, black beans can become a "little helper" for everyone to maintain their bodies. But modern people are busy with life, basically have no time to cook, don't worry, here are 3 black bean delicacies that I always prepare at home, convenient and delicious.
1. Black soy milk
Working overtime until late at night every day, how can you remember to soak black beans? Then my family shared with me Sanchuan Gui black soy milk powder, which was identified by my grandmother and the taste was similar to the taste it drank every day, and the taste was even more delicate. I saw that the ingredients were clean, only black beans and rice, so I stocked up on a few bags.
I didn't like the fishy smell of soy milk before, but Sanchuan Gui black soy milk powder added an appropriate amount of black rice to weaken the taste of some black beans. The taste is refreshing and has a hint of rice fragrance, which can be easily accepted by people who do not love soy milk.
I don't have time to cook when I get up in the morning, and the Sanchuan Gui black soy milk powder packaged in independent sachets can just save the emergency, and it is also very convenient to take it to the office to brew. The soaked soy milk is slightly viscous, the light sweetness is very refreshing, the satiety is also very online, and you are energetic to drink a glass in the morning and in the morning.
2. Soak black beans in vinegar
When I went to my grandmother's house to eat when I was a child, I always had a dish of black beans soaked in vinegar as a meal, which was sour and glutinous and very appetizing. Vinegar soaked black beans can be described as a very down-to-earth and nutritious traditional snack, black beans after the stimulation of vinegar after the release of nutrients more thoroughly, the body can also better absorb.
Later, when I went to the supermarket, I found that this ready-to-eat vinegar-soaked black beans, vacuum-packed, there are about 20 in a bag, which is just the amount of one meal. Don't worry about eating all at once, and you can also avoid eating too much bloated. When eating, it is used as a side dish for meals, which is sour and nutritious.
3. Five black cakes
Black beans can be eaten in a variety of ways, as a staple food, as a side dish, and in fact, it tastes good as a snack. At my grandmother's request, there is always a seven-degree square five black cake in the snack basket at home, and when you hear the name, you can guess that in addition to black beans, there are also black rice, mulberries and black sesame seeds and other black ingredients.
Don't look at its black appearance and simplicity, but it is my grandmother's "treasure in my heart". It does not add any moisture or oil, and depends entirely on the flavor of the ingredients for flavoring. The sweetness comes from the maltose extracted from the grain, and every bite is the natural freshness of the grain.
In addition, the 7th Degree Square Five Black Cake is prepared according to the characteristics of each ingredient, such as black beans soaked in advance, black sesame seeds repeatedly steamed and dried, etc. The pastry made is nutritionally comprehensive, the taste is soft and attractive, fragrant but not greasy, and the family likes to eat it.
