Spring blossoms and autumn fruits are the natural laws of many plants. As rural people know, many wild vegetables in summer, such as shepherd's purse, bitter gourd, koji bud, Hu Cai, noodle dish, Artemisia scoparia, etc., have already blossomed and borne seeds, so they can't be eaten. At this time, there are still a few wild vegetable varieties to choose from in the northern rural fields:

1 broom seedlings

Broom seedlings, also known as broom skin, don't care whether they are old or tender. They are eaten by pinching young leaves, and they can be eaten naturally in spring and summer. Especially when there is a lot of rain, the young buds grow fast, and they are squeezed home in the field and blanched with garlic and other cold dishes, which is a good summer dish. It has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials and diuresis. The broom seedlings are old, which is a good material for tying brooms.

2. Wild garlic

In summer, it's a good time for small wild garlic to be dug up and washed, directly fried with wild garlic, or when the soup is ripe, finally sprinkle a little wild garlic to taste, which is very good. There used to be many rural areas, but it is hard to find them these years. I went climbing last year, and suddenly I saw a few trees, which made me very excited. Wild garlic has the effects of activating yang, dispersing stagnation, relieving swelling and relieving pain, and the most important thing is appetizing. It is a kind of wild vegetable that rural people prefer.

3, wild amaranth

Amaranth is also eaten with tender leaves, so it can be eaten in spring and summer. Wild amaranth is rich in iron and calcium (more than spinach), but it does not contain oxalic acid, which is more conducive to human absorption and has no astringency. It is a kind of wild vegetable with good taste.

When I was a child in the countryside, I pinched the tender leaves of wild amaranth. My mother usually soaked them in cold water and used garlic paste and other cold dishes. Sometimes the tender leaves of wild amaranth are used to make dough soup.

4. Purslane

Portulaca oleracea is an out-and-out wild vegetable in summer, and it is the most common in small vegetable gardens of farmers. Portulaca oleracea has the functions of clearing away heat, promoting diuresis, detoxifying and reducing swelling, etc., and the method often eaten in rural areas is also boiled cold salad.

5. Sweet potato leaves

Sweet potato leaves are not vegetables, but they are nutritious and have become a well-known health food. I also classify them as wild vegetables. In summer, it's great to pinch the tender tips of sweet potato leaves directly and fry them at home, or pinch the tender sweet potato leaves, add some flour, steam them and dip them in garlic sauce.

6. Wild fungi

In summer, there is a lot of rain, which is also a good season to pick up wild mushrooms. When A Xi was a child, the next morning after every rain in summer, she would go to the Woods with her friends to pick mushrooms, go home to dry them, and save them for the chicken stewed mushrooms during the Chinese New Year.

Nature's gift is always so generous, but now in rural areas, because of the use of herbicides and pesticides, we dare not dig wild vegetables and eat them at will. High-tech is also a double-edged sword!
