These delicious, cheap, and easy-to-find fruits will help keep our throats healthy and free of coughs during the changing seasons.

The transition from summer to fall is when we welcome the cool and pleasant early autumn winds.

Below are 3 types of fruits and vegetables that are effective in protecting the throat and are ranked at the "top" thanks to the criteria of delicious - nutritious - cheap.

Pear

According to Chinese medicine, pears are sweet, cold, and have soft, juicy flesh. This fruit not only has the effect of clearing heat, eliminating phlegm, producing new fluid, and quenching thirst, but also reduces the feeling of dryness in the throat in the dry autumn weather.

Pears are also a diverse fruit in terms of preparation and enjoyment.

Pears can be eaten raw or cooked. Those who like to enjoy fresh pears should peel, cut into pieces and eat directly or blend to get the juice.

Besides, this fruit is also used as an ingredient to make "pear jam" (a paste made from pears and honey to cure coughs) or steamed with rock sugar, both of which have the effect of soothing the throat.

However, pears are cold in nature, so people with weak constitution or cold cough should not eat them directly but should steam them. People who are afraid of cold or have weak stomach should limit or best not eat pears.

Besides enjoying fresh cassava, users can also process this tuber into delicious dishes by methods such as boiling, baking, stewing, and roasting.

It should be noted that the code is not easily digestible and is cold in nature. Therefore, people with poor digestive function, children and the elderly should not eat much.
