Features: With the advancement of society and the continuous improvement of living standards, people's dietary concepts are undergoing significant changes. The traditional food philosophy focused on basic subsistence is gradually being replaced by a more well-off, health-conscious approach that emphasizes nutrition, health preservation, longevity, and physical fitness. Nourishment, health care, disease prevention, and treatment are no longer solely reliant on seeking medical advice. The concept of "food and medicine originating from the same source" is increasingly accepted by more people and is continuously being enriched. Returning to simplicity and embracing nature, the global "green engineering" movement is gaining momentum, and people are increasingly valuing health preservation methods that are close to nature. Vegetables are the best natural health-preserving foods. The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon·Suwen proposed the idea that "medicine should be used to expel pathogens, and food should follow to nourish the body," and further explained the relationship between vegetables and health with the principle of "five grains as nourishment, five fruits as assistance, five livestock as benefits, and five vegetables as supplements." Many vegetables and fruits also possess special medicinal effects, offering unique therapeutic benefits in regulating human physiological functions, enhancing immunity, and preventing and treating diseases.
