Salted Egg Yolk Stir-fried Bitter Melon
Nature’s food chain is truly fascinating and scientifically sound. Summer’s hot, dry climate easily triggers internal heat, which is why so many cooling, heat-clearing foods exist, including bitter melon, mung beans, and lily bulbs. As the saying goes, good medicine tastes bitter—all extremely bitter foods have unique cooling, detoxifying properties. Adding small amounts of bitter foods to your summer diet both refreshes the mind and clears internal heat, delivering great health benefits.
