Tumbleweed, also known as Russian thorn sand crown, is a common plant with extremely tenacious vitality in Gobi, and most people call it a "tramp" on the grassland. Because it won't die without water, whenever the climate is dry, tumbleweed will take back its roots from the soil and form a ball. Wherever the wind blows, it rolls, and its seeds fall to the ground along the way. When tumbleweed reaches a suitable growth environment, it will take root again, and its seeds will take root and sprout at the right time.

Tumbleweed is distributed in Eurasia. Because of its tenacious vitality, it is considered as a harmful invasive species after invading North America. North America has no natural enemies and can grow freely. When the wind blows in the dry season, countless tumbleweeds roll in to the surrounding villages and towns, and they can occupy the surrounding villages overnight.

Well, it is obvious that tumbleweeds are distributed in Eurasia, but China people do not feel this kind of trouble, because, ah, someone has long asked, "Can tumbleweeds be eaten?" After discovering that tumbleweed can be eaten, domestic people have no chance to breed, just like crayfish, which makes foreign people very helpless. After this species invaded China, people in China invented more than a dozen edible methods, and now crayfish are all farmed artificially. Danish oysters and German hairy crabs are rampant in our own country, but in the eyes of China people, they are all "waste". Therefore, foodies are silently guarding our country with their own practical actions.
