Common Nodida, also known as fungus, ground cabbage, ground soft, ground cabbage, rain fungus, etc.

Nodida vulgaris is a nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria. What you usually see is its original plant. It is wrapped in glue on the outside and made of algal filaments that are bent and intertwined on the inside.

Research shows that Nodida vulgaris contains a variety of nutrients, and its protein content is higher than eggs, fungus, white fungus, etc.; its total amino acid content is similar to that of Nostoc and shiitake mushrooms. Therefore, Nodida vulgaris is the best source of human protein. Very good source.

Nodida vulgaris

A species of the genus Nodida. The common names are Di Er, Di Fungus, Di Pi Cai, Di Ta Cai, Tian Cai, and Lei Gong Shi. The algae grow freely, initially in the shape of a gelatinous sphere, and then expand into sheets, up to 10 cm in size, shaped like a gelatinous membrane, dark olive or dark brown

Nodida vulgaris

< p>, dark brown or black after drying. The algae filaments are curled, and only the algae filaments at the periphery of the colony have obvious gel sheaths, which are yellowish brown, thick and layered, and are constricted at the transverse septa. Terrestrial, widely distributed around the world. It grows on rocks, gravel, sandy soil, grassland, field ridges and banks near water in hills and plains. It is drought-resistant and can grow even if it is dry enough to break into pieces when rubbed by hand. It can fix nitrogen and is cold-resistant. It can still survive in Antarctica above -30℃. It is widely distributed in China and is a traditional non-staple food.

Dipi vegetables: also known as Ditu fungus, lichen, Di fungus, Dipi fungus, Tiancai, Thunderclothes fungus, Diruaner, sweet potato peel, etc. In rural areas of Shanghai, it is generally called Tiancai because it is eaten after thunderstorms. Grass grows in the fields, which is a combination of fungi and algae. It usually grows in dark and humid places. It is dark black, a bit like soaked black fungus.

Dipi vegetables are rich in protein, multivitamins, phosphorus, zinc, calcium and other minerals. Scientists from the Weizmann Institute in Israel have found that a component of Dipi vegetables can inhibit the metabolism in the human brain. acetylcholinesterase activity, thereby producing therapeutic effects on Alzheimer's disease. Dipi vegetables are a kind of delicacy. They are most suitable for making soups. They have a unique flavor. They can also be eaten cold or stewed. They are also cold foods.

Nutritional content

Contains 15 grams of protein per 100 grams, which is higher than eggs, fungus, tremella, etc., and total amino acids

Nodida vulgaris

< The p> content is also higher than that of fungus and hericium, and also contains 0.2 grams of fat, 51.2 grams of carbohydrates, 3.9 grams of crude fiber, 406 mg of calcium, and 157 mg of phosphorus. The iron content is 290 mg, which is significantly higher than other algae. It is a supplementary food for children suffering from calcium deficiency and is also extremely beneficial to the human body in replenishing iron and nourishing blood. Dipicai also contains a variety of vitamins, of which vitamin C is 19 times that of seaweed. In addition, it also contains trehalose, sucrose, galactose glucose, fructose, xylose, mannitol, sorbitol and other nutrients.
