The taste is similar to that of auricularia auricula, crisp and refreshing, and the taste is fragrant. It has the effects of invigorating the middle energizer, nourishing the lungs, promoting fluid production and promoting lactation, and can enhance physical fitness and prevent influenza, fatigue and seasickness after eating.

Although talinum is a fake ginseng, its roots are as nourishing and strong as ginseng, and making soup is a good way to eat.
The efficacy and function of talinum
1. Collection of talinum
In talinum, roots and leaves are used as a medicine. Generally, talinum collects them in autumn and winter. After digging them up, they are washed, and then talinum is sliced and dried. While talinum throws leaves, they can be harvested at any time and dried for later use.
2. talinum sexual taste
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that talinum is a kind of Chinese medicine with sweet taste and flat nature. It is a good tonic Chinese herbal medicine.
3. The efficacy of talinum
Talinum has a good effect of invigorating the middle energizer, talinum has a good effect of moistening the lung and promoting fluid production, talinum can also be used to treat qi deficiency or fatigue, talinum can be used to treat spontaneous sweating due to physical weakness, talinum can also be used to treat diarrhea due to spleen deficiency, talinum can be used to treat lung dryness and cough, and talinum can also be used if the parturient has scarce milk.
4. Usage and dosage of talinum
The dosage of talinum is 0.5-12 each time. It can be decocted and taken orally, or it can be taken orally after being decocted with food, which has many benefits to the human body.
How to plant in talinum?
1. Generally, seeds are used for propagation, and the amount of seeds used per mu is about 50 grams. When seedling is transplanted, 1 seed is mixed with 10 fine sand or plant ash, and evenly spread on the seedbed, covered with plastic film and shed, and kept warm and moist. Seedling age is 30 ~ 40 days, and when the seedling has 3 ~ 4 true leaves, it can be transplanted and planted. It can also be propagated by cutting at any time during its growth, and it takes root about 10 days after cutting, and it is very easy to survive.
2. Prepare the soil for the border. Choose fertile sandy loam soil, which is easy to irrigate and discharge, apply 2000 kilograms of decomposed manure per mu, plough deeply 15 cm, and make a border with a width of1.2 ~1.5 m, and the border surface should be finely flat, and the direct seeding should be better with a row spacing of 25. According to the row spacing of 25 ~ 30 cm and the plant spacing of 25 cm, about 7000 plants are planted per mu. In areas with high temperature, the cultivation and harvesting time is long, and the density is sparse and small, on the contrary, the density is high. After planting, irrigate the root water thoroughly.
3. intertillage weeding. After slow seedling, intertillage and weed in time, and then manually weed 1 time every 20 days depending on the field growth, so as to keep the field clean.
4. dwarf the whole branch. For plants that need to be dwarfed, the growing points can be picked when the plant height is 10 cm, and the tips can be picked and dwarfed when the first branch grows to the harvesting length. The direct seeding field needs moderate thinning.
5. Fertilizer and water management. Talinum likes moist soil, but it is not resistant to waterlogging. Generally, water is poured every 3 ~ 5 days in sunny days, and accumulated water is removed in time in rainy season. The principle of greenhouse cultivation is watering only when it is dry, and watering should be carried out in sunny morning, so as to facilitate moisture removal and reduce the occurrence of diseases. After planting slowly, apply 1 time thin decomposed human excrement and urine (such as biogas liquid fertilizer), and the ratio of excrement and water is1:5, or apply quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer, and apply 5 kg of urea per mu. After harvesting tender stems and leaves every time, topdressing thin human and animal manure 1000 kg per mu, or foliar spraying with 0.5% urea and 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate aqueous solution.
6. Prevent diseases and pests. There are few pests and diseases in talinum, so it is unnecessary to use pesticides and chemical fertilizers. When aphids occur, 800 ~1000 times of 0.5% veratrine pure solution can be sprayed.
7. Harvest and storage. The edible parts are its tender shoots, tender leaves, tender seedlings and its fleshy taproots. Young shoots, shoots and leaves can be collected from spring to autumn for eating. (1) harvesting small plants. In direct seeding field, small plants can be picked up in batches after the height of seedlings is 5 cm.
(2) harvesting tender stems and leaves. When the transplanted seedlings are about 20 cm high, 6-8 leaves are left to pick the main stem tip, which is 8 ~ 10 cm long. Then, a new bud tip is pulled out between the two pairs of leaf axils at the top. When it is about10 cm long, a pair of leaves at the bottom are left and picked at the nodes of the leaves. When planting in summer and early autumn, it is easy to pick the flower spike, so it should be picked just after it is picked, and new buds will continue to be pulled out. When picking,1~ 2 pairs of leaves at the base are still left, which can be picked continuously. If it is not picked in time, the flowering of the flower spike will inhibit the sprouting of lateral buds, thus reducing the yield.
(3) harvesting fleshy roots. In autumn, you can dig fleshy roots, dig them out, wash them, remove the sediment, scrape off the epidermis, steam and dry them in the sun. Generally, 50-75 kilograms of dried products can be used as medicine per mu. If you dig them in 2-3 years, you will have high yield, strong medicinal flavor and good quality. But after digging the roots, you can't harvest the tender stems and leaves.
