It's easy to lose appetite in summer. Even the soup is too greasy, it will make the baby lose interest. There is no oil in the clam soup. It's also fresh with clams. At the same time, clams are rich in zinc. It's very suitable for hot and dry summer babies when they have no appetite. Winter melon is mature in summer. I used to wonder why it was called winter melon instead of summer melon. Later, it was found that there were white wax powder on the surface of the mature wax gourd. This white is very like hanging a layer of winter frost. So the name of winter melon comes from this.
