When I first heard the word "desert bread", I unconsciously came up with the picture of water flow. In a dry place like the desert, water should be as important as staple food. Does "desert bread" mean water? Of course, the answer is No. as a staple food, you must have full nutrition. Water can only meet the body's demand for water. So what is "desert bread"?
In tropical and subtropical areas, there is a plant with drought resistance, alkali resistance, heat resistance and like humidity. Its appearance is like a coconut tree, and its fruit is like jujube, so it is named jujube tree. The date palm tree that can grow in the desert can not only keep out the shade, but also its fruit is of great use to people traveling in the desert. Of course, the fruit of the date palm tree is date palm. As a snack, date palm is sold in many places. Most people who like date palm are attracted by its sweet taste, but do you know that this sweet snack is nutritious "desert bread"?
As mentioned above, dates can grow in the desert, so what nutrients can it be qualified for the title of "bread"? In terms of composition, the ingredients of date palm are almost pure fructose, which is very easy to digest, and can even be a sugar substitute for diabetics. In addition, the fat and cholesterol in jujube are very low, and the rich vitamins and minerals can also improve human function and achieve the demand of health. From the perspective of utility, the jujube contains a large number of nutrients that can resist hunger. At the same time, the nutrition of the jujube itself can meet the needs of the body. Therefore, there is also the saying that "if you hold the jujube, the whole family is not hungry". Jujube is the most primitive food for the early survival of the Arab nation. Dr. mushokal, a Gulf nutritionist, has also pointed out that it is not a good policy for urban residents to reserve a large amount of food before the war, and storing jujube, a specialty of the Arabian Peninsula, is the simplest and most effective way.
In addition to fighting hunger, jujube has many other effects, such as being conducive to women's production, treating constipation, treating low sexual function, helping abstain from alcohol, treating children's gastrointestinal diseases and so on. Moreover, although jujube is rich in sugars, it has the effect of weight loss. Weight loss is to resist hunger and quickly consume the fat and sugars accumulated in the body. Jujube can stimulate the intestines and stomach while resisting hunger, so it can consume a lot of calories and help reduce fat.
On the whole, the title of "desert bread" is well deserved, and I didn't expect that consumers accidentally caught up with the trend of eating healthy food while they were greedy for this kind of food.
