The family was eating around the stove this morning, and what Lao Qian (Wa's father) said made me feel ridiculous.

He smiled and said to me with a mobile phone: "We have eaten wormwood noodles for so many years, and you actually said that it was made of wormwood and posted the article online. You are amazing! "

At that time, I was puzzled and thought: Isn't the wormwood noodles we eat at home made of wormwood? Looking at my mother-in-law and sister-in-law laughing, I guess I really made a mistake.

My mother-in-law smiled and said to me, "The mugwort noodles we eat are made of mugwort. Artemisia argyi has a strong flavor, and it is a bit bitter to make noodles, but it can also be eaten. " Artemisia argyi and Artemisia argyi look alike. Artemisia argyi makes noodles delicious and chewy. Many people can't tell the difference between these two kinds of mugwort leaves. I thought you knew, so I didn't tell you. "

Now my heart is full of tears. Last night, I wrote an article "The Past Aroused by mugwort Noodles", which was also on the hot list. I personally told netizens that mugwort noodles are made, and now the article has been sent out. Many netizens even said that they would try to make noodles with mugwort leaves! Great, I can't believe I got the raw materials wrong.

Every time the mugwort noodles are made by my mother-in-law or mother, I only eat them and never ask about the raw materials. For many years, I have been eating mugwort and thinking about mugwort.

Looking at more and more articles, I couldn't help it anymore and decided to write another article to tell Jane the truth.

In my opinion, a qualified writer must have three points:

1. convey the correct information

spread positive energy

3. Give a just voice to those in need.

Now I have conveyed the wrong information, so I must correct it in time, and don't let others misunderstand and increase my burden.

Although wormwood powder is not made of wormwood, wormwood can also be eaten. High nutritional value, rich in vitamins, calcium, iron, zinc and other minerals.

Generally used to make steamed vegetables, scrambled eggs, steamed bread with mixed noodles, noodles, porridge, etc., with particularly high nutritional value.

There is a jingle in the countryside: Artemisia in March and Artemisia in April, firewood in May and June. A plant has different medicinal value and efficacy in different periods. March is the best time to pick Artemisia, and the old branches grow new buds, which tastes particularly good.

It is best to pick mugwort on Dragon Boat Festival, which is the most vigorous day of the year, and the content of mugwort essential oil is the highest.

To tell the truth, there are too many kinds of Artemisia selengensis, Artemisia selengensis, Artemisia argyi, Artemisia argyi, Artemisia selengensis ... many of them are very similar, but they all have their own functions. Although I was born in the countryside, I am still confused about many plants, and I am really ashamed. It seems that we should be more familiar with plants in the future to avoid being laughed at again.

In this article, Tian Ruyu said sorry to the simple friends who trusted and supported me. I misled everyone. If you want to try to make mugwort noodles in the future, use mugwort!

The method of making Artemisia sphaerocephala noodles is particularly simple. Picking, cleaning and chopping fresh Artemisia sphaerocephala, then mixing with flour and pressing into noodles.

Finally, I wish you all the best in 2022!
