Spring Menu from the Jade Pool Queen
Springtime,
① A length of sugarcane over one foot long—eating it in the morning strengthens Qi and blood.
② A length of sugarcane over one foot long—eating it at 4 PM clears blood and promotes circulation.
Note: Those with stomach issues should eat only five inches of sugarcane during the recommended time—stomach problems will surely recover.
