Of all the wild vegetables in spring, wormwood is a kind of wild vegetable that has to be said. Wormwood has the functions of dispelling cold and dampness, regulating menstruation, stopping bleeding and preventing miscarriage. The edible and using methods of wormwood have been thoroughly utilized by people, such as clearing the dough, moxibustion, medicated bath, fumigation and so on. If you meet wormwood on the way to an outing, you will be lucky to pick more. Female friends can use it to boil eggs, and their hands and feet are not cold in the warm palace. However, wormwood is warm and relatively irritable, so it needs to be eaten in moderation, not in excess. If you choose a lot of wormwood, it can also be used to boil water to soak your feet or take a bath, which is also very good. If you pick too much, you can dry it and keep it.
There is a cloud in the Classic of Materia Medica: "Spring is born, and plants are like spoons." That's plantain. In spring, banana can be seen everywhere in the countryside or wet fields. I saw many plantains in the yard of my hometown in the countryside. At this time, some plantains are quite tender, just sprouting seedlings, and some are old and have a string of seeds. Plantain is not only a kind of food, but also a kind of medicine, which is rich in nutrients such as protein, vitamin C, calcium and iron. Plantain is cold, and has the effects of clearing liver, improving eyesight, clearing heat and promoting diuresis, and resolving phlegm. If you meet plantains on an outing, you might as well dig some for soup. The soup is delicious, the tender leaves are fried, and it is delicious. If you dig too much and can't finish eating it, you can dry it and save it, and use it to make soup if necessary. Don't dig all the plantains when you dig, but leave some plantains with seeds so that new plantains can grow in the future. # Plantago #
Wild onions are also unique wild vegetables in spring. There are many Noda in the countryside. If you go hiking in the wild, don't miss it Compared with common onion, wild onion has bigger roots, thinner leaves and stronger fragrance, and is more delicious than common onion, especially suitable for frying eggs. There are often some grandfathers and grandmothers who go to the wild to dig wild onions for sale. If you don't see it, you might as well buy it and eat it in the vegetable market.
In the wild field in spring, purslane grows one after another, which is really rich and tender. Portulaca oleracea is also a kind of food which is both a vegetable and a medicine. Rich in vitamin A and SL3 fatty acids, regular consumption is good for the development of eyes and brain. Portulaca oleracea has the effects of clearing heat, promoting diuresis and diminishing inflammation. Portulaca oleracea is used for soup, cold salad and scrambled eggs, and it tastes very delicious. However, purslane also contains a certain amount of oxalic acid, so when cooking, you should first blanch and remove oxalic acid.
