Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Hi. I´m aware of the various texts on food and diet as medicine in TCM. But I´ve yet to come across any reference to the energies of various food cobinations or extracts, for example; Does Tahini have the same energy qualities as Sesame; or does " yuebing " (moon cake?) have the qualites of the beans and sugar its composed of. Come to think of it do the various methods of cooking effect the energy qualities of foods and their combinations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steaming makes the food more Yin; frying makes it more Yang. You'll notice some Chiense restaurants offer more stir-fired dishes in the cold, winter months than they do in warmer months. Winter is the time of maximum Yin; summer is the time of maximum Yang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
