Snow Swallow With Rock Sugar The Best Dessert You Should Try
Snow sallow (Chinese name is 雪燕 Xueyan) is not the edible bird’s nest (Chinese name is 燕窝 Yanwo) in the traditional sense. It is the trade name for the natural gelatinous secretions of the genus Pear, similar in properties to peach gum, mainly produced in tropical and subtropical regions.
It has many benefits to our bodies. From the nutritional point of view, Snow sallow is composed of polysaccharides and other substances. Water-insoluble macromolecular polysaccharides can absorb a large number of water molecules to form a gel. They cannot be digested and absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract, nor can they generate energy, so they can delay the intestinal absorption of sugar and reduce the body’s intake of sugar. This lowers blood sugar in the body and controls energy intake. Therefore, Snow sallow can be used as a food for adjuvant treatment of diabetes. In addition, as a kind of dietary fiber, eating some can also play a role in relieving constipation and promoting bowel movements.
