Why This Recipe?

🌸 Traditional Wisdom

Yam is commonly used in TCM to support the spleen and stomach, often during low-appetite pregnancy.

🔬 Modern Science

Yam offers digestible starch and mucoproteins; ribs add protein with some iron and calcium — clear-simmered and low in fat for the first trimester.

⚠️Moderate evidence
