Eating bracken often is not good for your health, because bracken contains a kind of medicine called? Protopterin? Studies have shown that this substance is carcinogenic, so bracken must not be eaten often, but it is ok to eat it once in a while, so you don't have to worry too much. In fact, bracken is just like sausage and barbecue. As long as it is not eaten in large quantities for a long time, there will be no problem and it will not have much impact on our health.

Pteridium aquilinum is a kind of wild vegetables. What else? King of mountain vegetables? In our impression, mountain vegetables are especially nutritious, and eating them often must be good for our health. Moreover, mountain vegetables are not available just when we want to buy them, and the price is usually higher, which makes people think it is more precious. This is the case in my family, and I always regard mountain vegetables as a particularly rare thing. Pteridium aquilinum is also a favorite of my parents, but it is not always available, but fortunately it cannot be bought often, otherwise the consequences may be unimaginable.

Mountain vegetables are green and pollution-free, and they are indeed healthier without pesticides, but bracken is an exception, which has nothing to do with whether pesticides have been applied or not, but with its own composition. bracken has protofern glycoside that other mountain vegetables do not have, and it is only when this substance is added that it will do harm to our health, so we can certainly eat it for a long time. At the same time, we can take certain measures to reduce the content of protofern glycoside in bracken, that is, remove the leaf buds of bracken and scald it at high temperature.

In fact, I think the taste of bracken is still good, especially the cold bracken. I like it very much. The freshly fried bracken is actually good. Although it is delicious, you must remember not to eat more. Even if the content of protopterin can be reduced through treatment, you should not eat more.
