Bitter greens are slightly bitter in taste and cool in nature. They are rich in vitamins, minerals and trace elements. They can cool and detoxify, diuretic, improve eyesight, relieve pain and reduce inflammation. It is a rare wild vegetable for us rural people. Every spring and summer, everyone eats it.

After picking the bitter vegetables, wash them and drain them, you can dry them, store them and soak them in water for drinking. Use fresh bitter vegetables to chop and make fillings, make steamed buns and dumplings, make glutinous rice cakes, and blanch the water.

Eat stir-fry, add some seasonings and eat cold, add some sesame seeds in a bowl, beat the soybeans, add some sugar to make tea, it tastes great!

In the 1970s and 1980s, bittercress was really everywhere, but in modern society, with the advent of herbicides, the number of bittercress has gradually decreased, and is generally eliminated by herbicides.

Even though there are still some bitter herbs growing more or less on the field ridges, to be honest, we rural people are now afraid of the pesticide residues of herbicides and dare not pick them back and sell them in the city. Once the customers eat them,

If the herbicide is poisoned, the seller must also bear corresponding responsibilities.

In the hometown of the old farmer Qixing in the countryside, bitter vegetables used to be everywhere, especially on the ridges of the fields. When I was a child, I often picked them, dried them, and sold them to medicinal companies for money. However, in recent years, everyone no longer plows the grass when farming.

Herbicides have been used to kill weeds, and the resources of bitter herbs are becoming less and less. Even if you sell it for 8 yuan per catty, even if you sell it for 80 yuan per pound, it will be difficult to pick one or two pounds of bitter herbs in a day, because

You don’t dare to mention that the bitter herbs on the field ridges have herbicides. If you unknowingly mention someone else’s bitter herbs that have just been treated with herbicides and sell them to others to eat, you will be in trouble if something goes wrong, right?

.

Therefore, the old Qixing farmer personally believes that the main reason why the bitter vegetables that are everywhere in the countryside can be sold for 8 yuan per catty is that the labor cost is high, and young people are those who make a lot of money and do not know how to pick them.

Only some elderly people are slow and don't have many places to pick. They can't pick two or three kilograms of bitter vegetables in a day. They still have to carry it on their backs and walk to the city to sell it, and they can't make much money.

[Love life and like to communicate. Please pay more attention to Qixing Old Farmer’s answer. Thank you very much!

] Bitter vegetables, we call them here, and now is the best time to go to the fields to pick them.

Because it has been raining recently, the sourdough has absorbed enough water and grown rapidly, and the growth is very vigorous.

Due to its strong growth ability, sophora can be grown in fields, at the foot of mountains or in barren plots.

Therefore, there are many bitter hemp plants in the wild, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as “everywhere”.

But why is it that bitter hemp vegetables that are everywhere in rural areas can be sold for 8 yuan/jin, which is higher than the price of most vegetables.

Personally, I think the main points are as follows: Many people in rural areas know that bitter hemp vegetables are edible, but they mainly eat them themselves after picking them, and have no intention of selling them for profit.

In addition, the vendors who went to the village to buy dried vegetables had no intention of purchasing bitter vegetables.

In this way, although the bitter hemp vegetables in rural areas have certain edible value, no one makes full use of them and opens up the market.

Besides, bitter hemp is on the dining table of rural people as a kind of wild vegetable. It was mainly because there was a lack of food in the past and there were no vegetables to eat, so they chose sour pickle.

Nowadays, there are many varieties of vegetables, including lettuce, tomatoes, cabbage, sauerkraut, sweet potato leaves, cucumbers, etc., with strong choices.

Therefore, many rural people no longer go to pick bitter hemp vegetables, especially young people in rural areas, who pay less attention to this wild vegetable. Only the elderly pick some and come back to taste it when it is in season.

In this way, Bamacai is even less able to form a market economy.

Therefore, bitter hemp cannot form a market economy, and there are not many of them on the market. Things are rare and expensive, so the price is naturally high.

Otherwise, only 1 to 2 kilograms are sold in a day, and the price is 1 to 2 yuan/catty, which is not profitable, and there is no need for vegetable stalls to sell this vegetable.

Generally speaking, seasonal vegetables are more expensive because they are only available during this season. If you don’t eat them, you have to wait until next year.

Therefore, seasonal vegetables have the basis to sell at high prices.

Bitter hemp is a very seasonal wild vegetable. It only grows in this season, when the corn enters the growth period, and it grows vigorously, with many young leaves coming out.

The bitter hemp picked at this time is the most delicious.

Therefore, the high price of 8 yuan/jin of bitter mustard is inseparable from the seasonality.

Okay, the above questions about the price of Ku Ku Cai (Bitter Ma Cai) at 8 yuan/jin are shared here. Comments are welcome to discuss and exchange.

Bitter vegetables can be sold for 8 yuan per pound, which is very good. Bitter vegetables are bitter and many people don’t like to eat them. Therefore, the market demand is limited, so naturally they cannot be sold at a high price. Look at the toona leaves in rural areas, which are everywhere, but they are available for sale.

It’s very expensive, that’s because toona leaves are really unique, so many people like to eat them.

Although bitter vegetables have many benefits, including antipyretic, detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-cancer effects, it seems that the wild vegetables that can be eaten in rural areas have more or less certain medicinal value. This is why farmers

The reason why raised pigs rarely get sick.
