First of all, this one, whose scientific name is Plantago asiatica, can be used for cooking. However, there is a rib in this grass that affects the taste. If you eat it, you need to be cold and stir-fried when you are young, and the taste is excellent.
Secondly, this kind of grass is also a famous Chinese herbal medicine, which can be used to clear away heat and diuresis, detoxify and cool blood, and mainly treat sore throat and dysuria.
Secondly, we are familiar with this dandelion, which is generally called "wife-in-law" in our countryside. It is mostly born on hillsides, fields, beaches and wilderness.
Dandelion is also a kind of wild vegetable which can be used for food and medicine. If eaten, you can choose to steam it with flour or make soup with cold sauce. It is used for treating some body inflammation, such as tonsillitis, respiratory infection, gastritis and hepatitis, and it is also widely used in beauty, which can relieve oily skin and freckles.
Then, this common nettle is horse-toothed nettle, which is often called hornet's nest in rural areas. We can see that this dish is reddish-brown, with thick leaves. This dish is commonly used in rural areas to wrap jiaozi, cold salad and scrambled eggs. It is very delicious and has strong medicinal functions, because it is rich in protein, amino acids and carotene, which can clear away heat and toxic materials, lower blood sugar and have a very good effect on stabilizing blood sugar for diabetics.
The last thing I want to talk about is the day lily, which we often say is "the day lily is cold". The most common way to eat this dish is cold salad. It is a very delicious dish with boiled cucumber and sesame sauce.
Then there is the medicinal value of day lily, which is also very high. For example, we folks call it "the medicine for taking milk" and "the rapid fire", which is the best choice for women to breastfeed. It can also cure dizziness, tinnitus, backache, wind-heat and cough, and eating day lily often can also moisturize the skin, make the skin tender and full, reduce wrinkles and fade spots.
In fact, there are many weeds in the fields that we are familiar with, such as mugwort, Robinia pseudoacacia, Toona sinensis, Salsola salsa, Xuncai and delicious elm, all of which are wild vegetables that our people often eat.
