Hailed as the king of mountain vegetables fern really poisonous? Fern is more familiar with a kind of mountain wild vegetables, in most parts of our country can be seen, it is very strong resistance, not only heat and cold. The south needless to say, in the northernmost part of China, near Mohe, the lowest temperature of minus 45 degrees or so in the region, the extremely cold environment of the outside world, there are also a large number of wild wild wild vegetables distribution, visible applicability of how strong. The reason why in the Cretaceous era has been left behind, is not without reason.
The fern is a seasonal wild vegetable, and the general picking period for a single fern from sprouting to leaf spreading is about 3 to 4 days, and the fern loses its food value when it reaches leaf spreading. According to the different temperatures in each region, the picking time is also different, like in the southern region in February and March has entered the best picking season, and we are now in the northeast region of the season, it is the fern is about to be listed in large quantities of the season, you can pick until the middle of June.
Because of its nutritional richness, compared to many kinds of wild vegetables to be superior, so it is called the king of mountain wild vegetables is not too much, has been known as the best wild mountain products. But in the last few years, the news that the fern causes cancer has been widely circulated, and has caused a lot of people's attention in the meantime, and a lot of ordinary consumers have refused to eat fern after knowing this news, which is still a relatively big impact.
The reason for this news report, because the relevant personnel in the fern composition of the research process, found that the fern plant contains fern glycosides, and fern glycosides are classified as our country's second class carcinogenic substances. Although it is said that fiddlehead fern plants contain procyonidin, if we do not consume large quantities of it in our daily life, but only consume it a few times occasionally, the ingredients contained in it will not cause any effect on our body. Don't get some misunderstanding because of some reports.
China's consumption of fiddleheads does have a very long history, but due to the fiddleheads' special taste and seasonality, the number of times they are consumed each year is very small, so the original fern glycosides that enter the body through the consumption of fiddleheads are not enough to have an effect on our bodies. In addition, fiddleheads are blanched during consumption, and the process of blanching releases the proanthocyanidins into the water, further reducing the content of the plant.
