枇杷（专入脾经和肺经，兼入肝经）。这是脾经的果实。味道甘甜而带酸，颜色发黄。据书籍记载，其完全成熟时，具有止渴、降气、滋润五脏的功效；生吃则有助长肝气、克制脾气的力量。食用后会导致胸中胀满、腹泻。并且书中对它的药性描述既有说是“平”的，又有说是“温”的，还有说是“寒”的，这些说法似乎都有意为之。原因在于，虽然它禀受的气机偏温，但质地多夹杂水湿之气。在完全成熟时食用，体内的水气逐渐消散，热气逐渐平和，从而发挥降气润脏的作用。如果未成熟就采摘食用，则物体中的水气尚未化解，会有寒气伤中、导致胀满腹泻的担忧；同时酸气未收敛，会有扶持肝气、抑制脾气的危害。这就是书中既说它温，又说它性平、性寒的原因。但在宴席果品中，使用完全成熟的枇杷，佐以解除酒热，最为适宜。如果是中焦有寒气壅滞的情况，虽然可以说用它来佐助解酒，但也应当知道禁忌所在！枇杷叶在上编另有详细说明。
花生（专入脾经和肺经）。味道甘甜而带辛，体质润泽，气味芳香，药性平和，无毒。按书籍所言，其香气可以舒展脾气，辛味可以滋润肺阴。是果实中的佳品，确实是好东西。然而有人说炒食无害，这种论述也不够周全。大概因为这种食物的气味虽然纯正，既不等同于胡桃肉的热性，也不像乌芋、菱角那样凉性。食用起来清香可爱，适合口尝并辅助饮茶，最为适宜。只是因为它体质润泽、质地滑利，施用于身体干燥坚实者是可以的；但如果施用于身体寒湿停滞、中气运行不畅的人，肆意多吃不停止，难道能保证没有伤害脾气、滑肠的弊端吗？仍然应当根据其体气来进行辨别，这样才能掌握得当。
乌芋（即荸荠，专入肝经、肾经和大肠经）。只是一种水果。什么书都说它能腐蚀铜器。（将铜钱与乌芋一起咀嚼，铜钱就会溶解。）破除积滞，攻坚散结。（金锁丸中治疗五膈病，使用黑三棱，指的就是这种植物。）止血。（大便下血，用荸荠捣取汁液大半杯，好酒半杯，空腹温热服用，三天见效。）治疗痢疾。（赤白痢疾，五月五日选取完好的荸荠，洗净，放入瓶中倒入好烧酒浸泡，密封固定，遇到患病时取一两个细细咀嚼，空腹用酒送服。）治疗崩漏。（凫茈一年长一个，烧至存性，研成粉末，用酒送服。）擦拭疮疡。（小儿口疮，用此物烧成灰末撒敷。）解毒并促进痘疹发出。（痘疮干枯紫暗，不能起发，同地龙一起捣烂，加入白酒酿纹服用，痘疹即可起发。）清嗓亮声，醒酒。它的有效作用如此之多，大概是因为味道甘甜、性质寒凉，所以能清除胸中的实热，消除各种实邪导致的胀满。体质黑色，因此力量善于下行，从而祛除各种血痢、血毒。因此，冷气重的人不要食用，吃了会让人容易患香港脚（足癣）；热嗽患者不要用，用了会对人造成积聚火气的危害。
[Mountain Fruit] Moistens the Lungs, directs Qi downward, and strengthens the Spleen
Loquat (Enters primarily the Spleen and Lung meridians, and secondarily the Liver meridian). This is a fruit associated with the Spleen. Its taste is sweet and sour, and its color is yellow. According to texts, when fully ripe, it has the function of relieving thirst, directing Qi downward, and moistening the five Zang organs. Eating it raw aids the Liver while suppressing the Spleen. Consumption leads to abdominal fullness and diarrhea. Furthermore, texts describe its nature variously as "neutral," "warm," and "cold," which appears intentional. This is because although its inherent Qi is warm, its substance contains much dampness. When consumed at full ripeness, internal dampness gradually dissipates, and heat becomes balanced, thereby exerting the effect of directing Qi downward and moistening the organs. If consumed unripe, the dampness within the fruit has not transformed, posing a risk of cold injuring the middle Jiao, leading to fullness and diarrhea; simultaneously, the unabsorbed sour Qi may support the Liver and suppress the Spleen. This explains why texts state it is both warm and neutral/cold. However, among banquet fruits, using fully ripe Loquat to counteract alcohol-heat is most appropriate. In cases of cold qi stagnation in the middle Jiao, although it can be used to assist in resolving alcohol toxicity, one must be aware of the contraindications! The leaves are detailed separately in the first volume.
[Vining Herb] Relaxes the Spleen Qi and moistens the Lungs
Peanut (Enters primarily the Spleen and Lung meridians). Its taste is sweet and pungent, its texture is moist, and its aroma is fragrant. Its nature is neutral and non-toxic. Texts state that its fragrance relaxes the Spleen Qi, and its pungency moistens the Lungs. It is an excellent fruit, truly a fine product. However, the claim that roasted consumption is harmless is not comprehensive. Although its flavor profile is pure, it is neither hot like Walnut meat nor cool like Water Chestnut or Water Caltrop. It is pleasantly fragrant and suitable for snacking or accompanying tea. However, due to its moist and slippery nature, it is suitable for those with dry and solid constitutions. For those with cold-damp stagnation and impaired Middle Qi, consuming it excessively without restraint risks damaging Spleen Qi and causing loose bowels. One must distinguish based on the individual's constitution to apply it correctly.
[Fruit] Breaks down hard accumulations in the Liver and Kidneys and dissolves copper
Water Chestnut (i.e., Eleocharis dulcis; enters primarily the Liver, Kidney, and Large Intestine meridians). It is merely a fruit. All texts state it has the power to dissolve copper (chewing a copper coin with Water Chestnut causes the coin to dissolve). It breaks down accumulations and attacks hardness (Black Burreed Rhizome used in Jin Suo Wan to treat Five Obstructions refers to this plant). It stops bleeding (For hematochezia, crush Water Chestnut to extract juice: half a cup of juice mixed with half a cup of good wine, taken warm on an empty stomach; effective within three days). Treats dysentery (For bloody and purulent dysentery, on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, select intact Water Chestnuts, wash them, soak them in good distilled liquor in a bottle, seal tightly, and take one or two pieces chewed finely with wine on an empty stomach when suffering from the condition). Treats metrorrhagia (One Water Chestnut grows per year; calcined until carbonized, powdered, and taken with wine). Applies to sores (For pediatric oral thrush, burn to ash, powder, and sprinkle). Detoxifies and promotes eruption of smallpox (For dry, purple smallpox lesions that fail to erupt, crush together with Earthworm, add white wine fermentation liquid, and consume to promote eruption). Clears the voice and resolves alcohol intoxication. Its efficacy is so extensive because its sweet and cold nature clears excess heat in the chest and eliminates various excess-type distensions. Its black color indicates a forceful descending action, thereby dispelling blood dysentery and blood toxins. Therefore, those with cold qi should avoid eating it, as it may induce tinea pedis (Hong Kong foot); those with heat coughs should avoid using it, as it may accumulate fire qi and cause harm.
