In the past, at that time in the countryside, I thought about what to eat after the last meal every day, so many wild vegetables were discovered by farmers, and they went up the mountain every day to dig wild vegetables as food.
But it is worth noting that.
Not all the plants growing in the mountains are beneficial, and some plants are poisonous. Today, let's take a look at the poisonous plants that are common in rural areas. I hope that when you see the following plants in the future, you should stay away from them, and you can't eat them directly to prevent life-threatening.
I. Ricinus communis
The first poisonous plant is castor, which is a very common plant, and it is very easy to grow.
Sprinkle a few castor seeds in the soil, and it won't be long before they take root and sprout. The castor will grow up to more than 2 meters high soon.
The fruit of castor tree is poisonous and must not be eaten. If children accidentally eat two, it will cause poisoning and death.
Second, the catnip
When I first saw this picture, I must have thought it was just an ordinary grass, how could it contain toxins, and its name sounded lovely, and the flowers it produced were very beautiful.
But don't mistake it for wild vegetables. In the past, there were some depths in rural homes. This kind of grass and livestock can't be eaten, and livestock will die when they eat it, let alone people. This grass also has a very remarkable feature, that is, when its stems and leaves are cut off, white milk will flow out, that is, this juice is toxic.
Third, Phytolacca acinosa
Many people may not understand this name when they hear it, but it is very common for rural people. When the roots of this plant are pulled out, it looks very like ginseng, so it is commonly known as fake ginseng. This pokeweed is also toxic.
The rhizome of Phytolacca acinosa is very thick, and some rural children may accidentally touch it when they are playful, so be sure to remind people with children at home.
Fourth, Xanthium sibiricum
This kind of plant should be said to be a classic. Xanthium sibiricum is also called wild eggplant tree in other rural areas because its leaves are a bit like eggplant, but now Xanthium sibiricum can be seen everywhere in rural areas, especially in winter, when the fruit of Xanthium sibiricum is ripe, many thorns will grow outside, and if people pass through the place where it grows, they will get everywhere.
Five, morning glory
Morning glory, commonly known as morning glory, is because the appearance of morning glory looks very like a small trumpet. Morning glory is a kind of herb, and the most common color of morning glory is purple.
Morning glory is very ornamental, but the fruit of morning glory is actually poisonous and must not be eaten by mistake, but it has medicinal value.
Six, Pinellia ternata
The flower pattern of Pinellia ternata is very beautiful. Pinellia ternata belongs to the genus Pinellia in Araceae, which is very common in rural areas. The rhizome at the bottom of Pinellia ternata is poisonous and called Pinellia ternata seed. Pinellia ternata seed is round with a little fibrous root at the bottom, but it is a good Chinese medicine.
In the past, people would often dig Pinellia ternata and sell it. I believe many rural friends have had this experience.
Seven, coriaria
When coriaria is ripe, the fruit it bears is very beautiful, but we must remember that the fruit it bears is inedible. Coriaria is a shrub that can grow to about 3 meters, and generally grows in rural mountains. Its flowers are orange-red fruits, and its appearance is spherical, from early red to purple-black, just like the color of mulberries.
Eight, konjac
Everyone should be surprised to see the last plant. Amorphophallus is the most common food, and most people like all kinds of delicious food made of Amorphophallus.
But the tuber under the konjac is poisonous.
Therefore, it is also known as a ghost impression, so don't be confused by its appearance.
When making konjac, everyone should get used to wearing gloves just in case.
Summary:
At this point, we have seen the eight most common plants in rural areas mentioned above, and we all know something about them in our hearts. I hope you must pay attention to them when you see them next time. You must never take them back to eat casually. In normal times, you can also learn more about plants.
Broaden one's knowledge field.
In addition to the eight poisonous plants mentioned above, there are actually many other poisonous plants in rural areas. If you encounter strange plants in the wild or in rural areas, don't directly touch them with your exposed skin, and you must take protective measures.
