The topic of Matsumi Ladies Clinic Mita English blog in March is about blood.

In the second part, I create an article about nutritions of blood.

 

Blood contains nutritions.

Do you know a story of Dracula, a famous fictional figure.

According to some website, there are three types of real vampires: Sanguinarian, Psychic, and Hybrids.

Amongst them, Sanguinarians feed on tiny amounts of human blood, generally just a few drops.

 

Legends of Dracula are unreal and horrible, but many cultures treat blood as food.

For example, Japanese people have a traditional delicacy called “Suppon (a soft-shelled turtle)”.

It is a cocktail made of freshly extracted blood and sake.

It is prevalent amongst middle-aged men as they believe it brings health benefits like boosting sexual performance.

 

Not only Japan, but many countries also serve blood-food.

First up, the British enjoy a black pudding that is a sausage made of pigs’ blood.

The black colored one is served in a traditional full English breakfast.

People in Galicia, Scandinavia and the Baltic eat blood pancake.

China has blood tofu made of coagulated blood.

 

Next blog is about blood types.
