Description
大葉
Green shiso is a bit spicy in flavor with a hint of cinnamon. The leaves are rich in calcium and iron, and because of its strong flavor, can stand up to such things as pickling. Shiso is used in traditional medicine as well, believed to help prevent anemia and contain cancer-fighting properties. Some Japanese use it alongside ginger, rice vinegar, or umeboshi to help blood circulation. Most common uses of shiso include serving it with sashimi, wrapped around sushi, or added to soups, rice, and tempura.
紫蘇被日本人多用於料理,尤其是在吃生魚片的時候,從中醫角度看這是取其性溫、味辛,具有解表散寒、行氣和胃的功效。因為生魚片過於生冷、而且有些許腥味,食用時配以紫蘇可以去除腥味,其特殊的香味又可以增加生魚片的口感且不讓生冷食物刺激腸胃。
紫蘇還有一個作用就是可以用於預防和治療輕度的風寒感冒,因為紫蘇解表散寒之力比較緩和所以如果在夏天不小心被雨淋濕感覺有些惡寒發熱的時候不妨買上幾兩紫蘇葉,為自己煮上一杯紫蘇水喝,讓體內寒氣發汗而出,睡一宿覺後一定會神清氣爽不少。
