Steps for cooking Steamed Red Dates for Blood Nourishment
Wash the Xinjiang dried dates to remove any floating dust, but do not soak them.
Place them in a steamer and steam over high heat for 30 minutes.
Let them dry in a ventilated area to remove surface moisture and cool.
Steam them again for 30 minutes.
Let them dry in a ventilated area to remove surface moisture and cool.
Steam them for a third time for 30 minutes.
Continue to dry them in a ventilated area.
Let them dry in a ventilated area for one to two days.
Store them and eat a few every day. Red dates are good for blood nourishment, but the taste of the skin is not good and eating too many can cause stomach discomfort. After steaming and drying three times, the taste becomes much milder and there is no longer any discomfort in the stomach.
