At that time, I was naive when I was young. I only thought that shepherd's purse was just food to fill my stomach when I was short of clothes and food. I picked it with my friends from time to time to play. Picking wild flowers and singing songs, I spent a happy childhood.
But with the increase of age and experience. From the mouth of some old Chinese medicine practitioners, this kind of shepherd's purse with beautiful small white flowers is very rich in both edible value and medicinal value.
Through the understanding, I found that shepherd's purse contains a lot of calcium. To my great surprise, the calcium content per 100 grams is as high as 420 mg, which is three times as much as that of milk (the calcium content per 100-120 mg in fresh milk). Moreover, shepherd's purse is rich in other trace elements, with high nutritional value, various eating methods and high medicinal value. It has the effects of harmonizing spleen, promoting diuresis, stopping bleeding and improving eyesight, and is often used to treat postpartum hemorrhage, dysentery, edema, enteritis, gastric ulcer, cold and fever, red eyes and swelling pain. At the beginning of spring, the traditional custom is to eat delicious shepherd's purse and boil eggs in March of the lunar calendar every year. There is even a saying among the people that shepherd's purse is an elixir of life in March, which shows the high medicinal value of shepherd's purse!
Let me introduce you to the tips and tricks that jiaozi kept in mind.
Whether you wrap jiaozi or wonton in shepherd's purse, you must blanch it before filling, because shepherd's purse grows in the wild and contains a lot of oxalic acid, which will inhibit the body's absorption of calcium. Only by blanching, these oxalic acids will be destroyed, so that it will be more nutritious, and other practices will be the same as ordinary jiaozi. Add your favorite meat stuffing, wrap it up, it's delicious and nutritious!
