Features: "China Health Food Series" is jointly edited by the China Medicinal Diet Research Association and Shandong Qilu Yaozun Catering Studio. Experts in traditional Chinese medicine, cooking masters, and nutritionists introduce China's traditional health foods from three aspects: the concept of medicinal diet therapy in traditional Chinese medicine, modern nutritional analysis, and cooking methods. This series consists of eight volumes: Health-Friendly Fruit Diet, Health-Friendly Mushroom Diet, Health-Friendly Fish Diet, Health-Friendly Flower Diet, Health-Friendly Meat Diet, Health-Friendly Vegetarian Diet, Health-Friendly Grain Diet, and Health-Friendly Soup Diet. The series as a whole collects the essence of health foods, while each volume stands independently, covering a specific category. The content is rich and practical, making it easy for you to eat wisely, cook simply, enjoy deliciously, nourish your body effortlessly, and live a healthy and refined life.
Red cherries, golden loquats, purple grapes, fragrant pineapples, sweet and juicy watermelons, and succulent peaches, with their vibrant colors, enchanting aromas, sweet flavors, and diverse shapes, attract our vision, taste, smell, and emotions. People not only savor them greedily but also bestow upon them beautiful symbolism: peaches are called immortal peaches, longevity peaches, sacred peaches, and the peaches of Queen Mother of the West, symbolizing health and longevity; the phrase "peaches and plums fill the world" describes a teacher who has educated many students; pomegranates symbolize a large number of children; peanuts and chestnuts express the hope of having a precious child.
In legends: invincible heroes turned on each other and were killed in a fight over peaches (Two Peaches Kill Three Heroes in the Warring States period); Eve ate the beautiful forbidden fruit—apples—after listening to the devil's slander, causing her and her husband, as well as all of humanity, to lose the paradise of Eden forever (Genesis in the Bible). Fruits, with their multifaceted charm, attract people's "affection."
