Dried Foods are Essential to Good Health and Taste

by: Junji Takano

Sometime seven years ago, I became interested in Chinese people who live along the Chinatowns around the world. These Chinese are mostly healthier than other natives in the same location. Is it because they eat Chinese foods or is it because Chinese are just healthier than other nationals?

Looking at their food menu, we found that dried foods may be one of the keys to healthy living.

Indeed you'll notice a wide variety of dried foods being sold in grocery stores in Chinatowns, such as dried sea horse, turtle, squid, shrimp, seaweed, scallop, abalone, mushroom, beef, fish, including dried vegetables.

In Chinese history, most foods are made to dry for preservation especially during long winter season and civil wars. In Chinese cooking, dried stuffs are more delicious and nutritious. If you see the old Chinese medicinal books, most healing properties are in dried foods! No wonder that Chinese prefer dried foods.

Cup Noodles

There are hundreds of grocery stores in Chinatowns where they sell dried provisions such as sea cucumber, dried sweet potatoes, dried shells, dried grapes, dried plum, and dried tofu. You can ask the Chinese sales attendants on how it's cooked and eaten, and what its nutrients and medicinal benefits are. You will love it.

Most dried foods are cholesterol-free and are good for treating hundreds of illnesses. These foods are all good for rejuvenating bone structures and to have a long life, too.

My family and I go to nearby Chinatown very often and buy a lot of groceries, and ask the vendors how all the foods are tasted in various ways. In fact, we became friends with some Chinese vendors.

Keeping our body healthy is not enough with modern technologies alone. We should adore the wisdom of our ancestors.
