In fact, there are more vegetables in rural areas that have the function of medicinal diet, which can be eaten as a general dish and can also play a proper role in conditioning the body, such as enriching blood.

What wild vegetables can enrich the blood in the countryside? Wild vegetables don't mean completely wild, not artificially intervened. In the view of Kakuchi, artificially planted wild vegetables are considered as "pseudo wild vegetables", and some vegetables that are rarely cared for once planted can also be regarded as wild vegetables.

First, the red phoenix dish, which is known as the bloody vegetable.

When it comes to Saussurea involucrata, it is easy for people to think of Saussurea involucrata, which is actually just a folk name. Its Chinese scientific name is Saussurea involucrata, which belongs to the genus Chrysanthemum in Compositae, and because its leaves are green above, and the back of the leaves is purple when the soil is dry, it is also called purple cabbage. In morphology, Gynura bicolor is easily confused with Gynura bicolor (Gynura bicolor, not Begoniaceae) of the same family.

Why is it called potherb? This is because farmers can grow as well as wild vegetables without fertilizing or weeding, and pinch them when they have no vegetables or want to change their tastes, which is no different from wild vegetables.

Old people in rural areas often say that red phoenix dishes are blood-nourishing, and rural children are naturally convinced of this, so some places simply call it blood-nourishing dishes. Although it enriches the blood, it actually has the functions of promoting blood circulation and stopping bleeding.

Are there any wild vegetables whose leaves are not red and are also blood-enriching?

Second, cabbage, known as white cabbage.

There is a kind of vegetable, which is said to have a similar function to the red cabbage, but different from the red cabbage, it is also a plant of the genus Inula in Compositae, with thick leaves, no obvious purple and pubescence on both sides of the leaves.

This is the cabbage known as "white cabbage" in the hometown of Kalopanax. Although its leaves are not purple, its stems are light purple. Cabbage can clear away heat and toxic materials, cool blood and stop bleeding. Because it is less than red cabbage, Kalopanax septentrionalis has only been seen and never eaten, and its taste is not clear.

Are there any wild vegetables in rural areas that have the effect of enriching blood?

There are many wild vegetables with blood-enriching effect. Such as: Gynura bicolor, Gynura bicolor, Podocarpus, Shepherd's purse, Chicory, Portulaca oleracea, Malan rubra, Amaranthus tricolor, Water celery, etc. It can be roughly judged from two points whether it has the effect of enriching blood: first, wild vegetables rich in iron; Second, red wild vegetables.

It is said that iron-rich wild vegetables have the effect of enriching blood because iron has hematopoietic function, which can promote the normal work of red blood cells in blood vessels and increase the synthesis of hemoglobin in the body.

It is said that red has the function of enriching blood because Chinese medicine pays attention to "complementing shape with shape and color with color". Such as: black kidney, white lung, green liver and red blood.

Here, I might as well list one or two:

First, purple spinach

Purple back vegetables are also known as blood-nourishing vegetables, red phoenix vegetables, Guanyin vegetables, blood ferns and blood-soaked vegetables. It is a perennial herb of Compositae, named after its purple back. Mainly distributed in southern China, especially in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Chongqing. It is a kind of good vegetable in Shan Ye, which likes warm and humid but has extremely tenacious vitality, moisture resistance, drought resistance, barren resistance and strong disease resistance. Rich in flavone glycosides, vitamin C and iron.

It has the effects of relieving summer heat, invigorating stomach, stopping bleeding, relieving swelling, enriching blood and nourishing deficiency.

Second, chicory

Sonchus oleraceus L. is also known as Sonchus oleraceus L., Goose L. and Ixeris sonchifolia L. It is an annual herb of Compositae. Like to grow on roadsides, hillsides, wasteland, fields and forests. Its leaves are long and have irregular large serrations; The flowers are yellow. Pull up the whole plant, much like the usual goose dish, but the plant shape is much smaller, which is why it is called goose dish.

This chicory is also edible. In spring and summer, pinching young leaves, washing, blanching and cold salad are a refreshing and appetizing meal. You can also stir-fry or add soup. Has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, cooling blood, stopping bleeding, enriching blood and protecting health.

Third, Malantou

Malantou is also called Malan, roadside chrysanthemum and fish-loach string. Its vitality is extremely tenacious. I like to grow on roadsides, wasteland, fields and hillsides. Often born in the fields, people often uproot them as weeds, which is really a delicious food in spring and summer! Pinch its tender stems and leaves, wash them, stir-fry, stuff them, and make soup.

Malan can be divided into red stems and green stems. Both are edible. However, Malania rubra is the best medicine. Has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, enriching blood and protecting health.

Fourth, red amaranth

Amaranth is also called corn, red and amaranth. Amaranth likes to grow on roadsides, hillsides, wasteland and fields. Its progeny are small and numerous, and its reproductive ability is very strong. Often, one plant grows smoothly, and a large one will be born in the coming year. In spring and summer, pinching its tender stems and leaves, washing, blanching and cold salad are good dishes for appetizing and eating. You can also add stuffing and soup.

Amaranth is rich in vitamin K, iron and calcium. It has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, relaxing bowels, enriching blood and nourishing blood. Best served with pig liver.

In short, there are many wild vegetables with blood-enriching effect. Usually, as long as we know and pay attention to their nutritional components and colors, we can generally judge whether they have blood-enriching and health-care effects. But personally, I advocate enriching blood and keeping in good health from commonly used foods because they are all around us. Such as: black sesame, peanut, jujube, longan, spinach, auricularia auricula, carrot, jujube, lotus root, medlar and so on.

Red dish: red dish is called blood-nourishing dish locally.

Dandelion has the effect of enriching blood.

Bloodstained vegetables, also known as moon mother dishes, can enrich blood, dandelion and empty tung flowers can lower blood pressure, and cold dishes are delicious.

Blood-soaked vegetables can nourish blood and deficiency.
