全年都啱飲｜魚翅瓜蟲草花栗子紅蘿蔔豬展湯 Figleaf gourd, cordycepd flower, chestnut carrot and pork s
魚翅瓜原產自南美洲，外型有點像迷你西瓜，但其實是南瓜的近親。由於切開後瓜肉呈一梳梳的幼條，極像魚翅，故因而得名，煲湯時要選皮淺色、墜手的老瓜。魚翅瓜含豐富纖維，還有清熱解毒、潤滑大腸及降血糖膽固醇的功效，今此更配合了潤肺的蟲草花和健脾補腎的粟子，絕對是一道適合全家，一年四季都啱飲的補益湯水。
魚翅瓜：性涼味甘，能清熱解毒、利尿通乳、消腫止痛
紅蘿蔔：性涼味甘，能滋陰清熱、潤燥生津、益氣養血
粟子：性平味甘苦，能補腎固精、養血安神、健脾開胃
蟲草花：性溫味甘苦，能補肺益腎、止咳化痰、滋陰潤肺
