Pepper, you had to wash it. Putting pepper in a bowl of water, he salted it. Salt is necessary so that any bugs, spiders, and worms that are present come out of the fruits. Soak the fruits of minutes for 10-15. But with Bok Choi, such a trick will not work, since its leaves instantly absorb the salt.
While the pepper was in the water, Dara took out a miracle of Chinese design, which opened any kind of unopened lids. He managed to do it on the second attempt. He discovered tomato paste, which Ba herself made last fall.
In Small-Ahn, there was a tradition adopted from the Imperials, to preserve vegetables, and to prepare jam for the year ahead. Previously, housewives were proud to roll 300 cans of salted vegetables, sauerkraut, overseas (eggplant and zucchini) caviar, salted watermelons, capers. And also 100 cans of strawberry, cherry, apple, grape, carrot, quince, pear, mountain cherry, blueberry, currant, gooseberry, raspberry, blackberry jam. Not to mention 10-20 jars of pink jam.
Grandmother used to make 400 cans each, and then gave away gifts to relatives. It used to be difficult to eat in Small Ahn, and people could save money and the food was under the floor. But over time, people began to live better, concepts about healthy and proper nutrition appeared. Yes, and old age took its toll, so Grandma already cooked just a few salted vegetables for herself a couple of dozen cans and a dozen jam.
Grandmother's pink jam turned out especially well. She took the petals of a white, red and pink rose. She sterilized the cans under steam, and then laid out a layer of red roses on the bottom and covered the second layer with sugar, the third layer was a white rose, the fourth layer with sugar, the fifth rose with pink petals, and so on until the jar was filled to the top. Then the cooking was very delicate, aromatic, it had an antibacterial property. With a sore throat, the beginning of a sore throat, Grandma's rose jam always helped out and took off the first signs of inflammation. With a cold, a sure way to raise immunity improves kidney function, improves metabolism. Having drunk a glass of tea with three teaspoons of grandmother's pink jam, Dara always calmed down, his depression took off like a hand. It turns out that a pink jam helped with this. Rose essential oils helped and heal the heart. They also retained calcium in their teeth. Therefore, the teeth were not destroyed. And in the rose petals themselves, natural antibiotics were contained, which helped the immune system fight viral infections. Well, so said his Grandmother. And the jam itself heals ulcers and wounds on the gums, eliminates toxins, removing them from the human body. Of course, there are limitations: obesity, diabetes, and high blood viscosity, hypertension, pregnancy, and breastfeeding, as well as babies up to three years.
Well, this Dara, did not threaten, so it was possible to completely spoon a delicious jam, like at one time "Carlson living on one of the roofs in Stockholm in the distant 50-60s of the 20th century."
So the can opened and there - tomato paste, one of the products necessary for Arabian soup. Something Dara began to slowly doubt the authenticity of this soup. It seems the system laughed at him. Well, okay, we do what the system says, the reward is painfully good!
And Dara was already washing pepper under a stream of cold water, beating from under the ground. And in the bowl where the pepper was lying before, a suspension was visible, the water darkened. All the dirt came out.
Having wiped the pepper dry, Dara cleverly removed the seedbox, cut it into slices, even, the pepper had a pleasant aroma.
And the onion peeled and washed under water, dried and cut into small cubes.
But the system was asleep and there was no one to get advice. He thought that probably the most important benefit comes from his magical land and the fact that this field is growing ?! Then maybe it's magical water ?! Probably if you cook simple fruits in this water, their beneficial properties will increase, and negative ones will be minimized. But he did not know this for sure. He could only make assumptions based on the words of the system said earlier.
It was necessary to cook, so there was no longer much time to reason. Dara, rummaged through the mental database, and this is what he found there:
Pepper contains fiber, antioxidants, a lot of vitamin C, more than even in lemons.
