After being cooked, pears exhibit enhanced abilities to nourish yin, generate fluids, moisten dryness, and relieve thirst. They are particularly beneficial for alleviating symptoms of Yin deficiency with excessive heat, such as thirst, irritability, sore throat, dry cough due to lung dryness, and hoarseness. Steamed snow pear with Tendrilled Fritillary Bulb is a common fruit dish known for its heat-clearing, lung-moistening, phlegm-dissolving, and cough-relieving properties.
Recipe: Take one snow pear, cut off the top, remove the core, add 3 grams of Tendrilled Fritillary Bulb powder and an appropriate amount of rock sugar. Cover the pear, place it in a bowl, steam for 10 minutes over water, then turn off the heat.
