Healthy Dried Green Beans


I learned that Chinese dried green beans are good for getting rid of acne. It can be purchase in any Asian supermarket.

Three uses of Green Beans I learned:

1.Put the green beans in a pot and boil.
  Turn off the fire once it’s boiled, pour out the water to drink and don’t add any sugar in it.
  ( This water is good for getting rid of acne)

2.You can use the beans for other uses such as making green bean soup or ice cream.

Note: Everything above I learned from family and some Chinese Wiki, I am not sure if it is 100% correct.
But my family always make green bean soup, recipe will be in another entry

Red Beans and Coix Seeds



Red beans, corns, and coix seeds are healthy and good for getting rid of abnormal accumulation of fluid beneath the skin (Medical term= Edema). Red beans are also good for people with low blood pressure. But don’t add too much sugar when cooking it.

Red beans can be made into delicious desserts like read bean soup, read bean ice cream and red bean smoothie, etc.
