II, Diet pairing

1, Although dumplings are delicious, they also have their unhealthy aspects. Generally, the filling of dumplings is mainly meat, with less vegetables, so eating too much will naturally feel greasy, not only taste unpleasant, but also extremely harmful to health due to excessive intake of oil. Therefore, many people like to dip dumplings in vinegar to alleviate the greasiness. In fact, in addition to dipping vinegar, we can also drink some healthy drinks that can reduce oiliness while eating dumplings, which can also achieve a good effect.

2, There are many healthy drinks with oil-reducing effects, such as tea and juice, but the most suitable for dumplings is still our traditional drink, Sour Plum Drink. Sour Plum Drink is made from a variety of natural ingredients such as Wu梅 and hawthorn, rich in trace elements, crude fiber and other nutrients. Especially the rutin it contains is a kind of plant chemical substance that can help the body expel oil very effectively. Moreover, although the taste of Sour Plum Drink is sour, it belongs to a genuine alkaline drink. Eating too much meat and acidic foods, and consuming too much oil, can lead to acidification of the blood. Drinking some Sour Plum Drink can also help us maintain the balance of acid-base values in the body. Moreover, the taste of Sour Plum Drink is sweet and sour, which is more suitable for pairing with dishes than the bitter tea water or sweet juice.
