無花果潤燥三步曲
小龍女：「上次聽EC說身體偏寒的人不適合多吃梨，那麼無花果可以嗎？新鮮還是曬乾的比較好？」
CheckCheckCin：中醫典籍《本草綱目》記載：「無花果味甘平，無毒，治五痔、利咽喉、消腫痛、解瘡毒」，老年人、嬰兒、孕婦都適合。有潤肺健脾開胃、潤腸通便、清熱解毒功效。一天吃2-3個，對痔瘡便血、老年、孕婦便秘有明顯療效。其滋陰潤燥作用很適合秋天食用，另外孕婦特別容易患上痔瘡，食之可以預防。無花果更可以幫助催乳，對哺乳媽媽來說可以是多一個方法應付乳汁不足！ 要注意其糖份含量較高，糖尿病患者慎吃。新鮮和乾品功效相若，兩種都可以直接吃，乾品更可用來泡茶和煲湯。
一。新鮮吃
如何得知無花果熟透適合食用？看看它的底部，有輕微裂開就是時候吃了。洗淨後切去硬硬的蒂頭，全顆連皮都可以吃，用刀切開或者直接用手掰開亦可。無花果中心部份比較乾，可以將兩邊果肉互相搓揉，令濕潤度更均勻。直接當水果食用，或者加入冷盤沙律甚至三文治中亦可。
二。做零食
新鮮無花果容易腐爛，製成乾果可方便保存，無花果乾清甜而口感煙韌，非常適合用來做零食，配搭一些無油烘焗的果仁，就成為一份甚有營養的下午茶。但由於無花果乾已將果糖濃縮，所以每日吃兩至三枚就好了，以免吸收過多糖份。
三。沖果茶
無花果甜度高，加入熱水沖泡即成香甜果茶，秋天天氣乾燥，可以加入梨乾一同沖泡。如果你的工作需要經常對著電腦，不妨多加數顆枸杞子，有清肝明目功效。
無花果梨乾茶

備註：天氣乾燥可以一星期飲用三至四次。
