"Bitter in Dog Days, Better Than Tonics": Embrace the Three Treasures for a Healthy Midsummer
As the ancient wisdom goes, "Heat peaks during Sanfu days; cold peaks during Sanjiu days." With July 20th marking this year’s entry into the 40-day Sanfu period—the hottest stretch of the year—we brace for sweltering "sauna weather." Outside, the sun scorches mercilessly, while indoors, stifling humidity suffocates without air conditioning. Appetites dwindle, and even the most enticing foods lose their appeal. How do we cope? Our ancestors offered a timeless solution: "Consuming bitter foods during Sanfu outshines taking tonics." This isn’t mere folklore. Bitter ingredients possess innate cooling properties that awaken stagnant digestion and expel oppressive dampness and heat. Here, we present three indispensable culinary treasures to grace your table this Sanfu season—each a powerhouse for thriving through summer’s zenith.

Humidity clings to the sweltering air, leaving one feeling drained and lethargic.

The Ultimate Guide to Stir-Fried Amaranth Greens: Skip the Blanching, Avoid Raw Frying! Master the Technique for Tender, Delicious, Nutrient-Packed Results
Red amaranth greens (Amaranthus tricolor) are a true seasonal treasure. Bursting with calcium, iron, Vitamin K, and numerous other vital nutrients, they stand as a nutritional powerhouse among leafy greens – a veritable "honor student" of the vegetable world. Yet, how often do enthusiastic home cooks bring these vibrant leaves home, only to serve up a disappointing dish? The result is frequently either a mushy, shapeless mess devoid of texture, or an unpalatably astringent mouthful that’s hard to swallow. The culprit behind these culinary failures almost always lies in one critical misstep: are you still blanching your amaranth? Or perhaps, washing it and tossing it straight into the wok? In the eyes of seasoned culinary experts, both approaches are critical mistakes leading you down the wrong path!
