October "Food and Medicine Recipes" for Cell Rejuvenation from Herbal Pharmacist Ai Okubo (October 14, 2024)
October marks the beginning of the dry season. Not only the skin but also mucous membranes of the throat, nose, and intestines tend to dry out, which can lead to a weakened immune system. In such a season when it's easy to fall ill, herbal pharmacist Ai Okubo introduces "medicinal food recipes." This month's key ingredient is figs. Due to their high nutritional value, figs have long been called the "fruit of immortality." The abundant soluble fiber in figs helps regulate the gut environment!
Figs are not only great for desserts but also excellent in stewed dishes. This month's two dishes are "Fig and Saury Tomato Stew," which balances mind and body, and "Western-style Fig Oden," perfect for gut health. Incorporate nutritious figs to comfortably get through the chilly autumn season!
We also look forward to your comments and Instagram posts.
