In the past, there were very few greenhouses. In winter, the vegetables in the vegetable fields were not only pitiful but also expensive. Therefore, people developed the habit of stocking up vegetables after winter. Although now fresh vegetables are available at any time. You can buy them, but northerners still maintain the habit of stocking up on vegetables. Today I would like to introduce to you 4 kinds of vegetables that northerners love to stock up on. They do not need to be put in the refrigerator, are easy to store and are delicious. It is economical and affordable to stock up on more at once before the price increases at the end of the year. 1. White radish

Raids can be divided into white radish and carrot, but carrots have a short storage time and will become soft after water loss, affecting the taste. White radish has enough water, so some white radish is usually stored in winter. Although white radish can be purchased at any time, winter radish has more moisture and has a crisp and sweet taste. White radish is also very nutritious, and its vitamin C content is several times that of pears. The beginning of winter is the time when white radish is harvested. The white radish at this time is not only fresh, but also cheap. Many people will buy more than ten kilograms of white radish at a time and hoard it.

Storage method of white radish: There are two methods for storing white radish: 1. Remove the leaves from the white radish and store them in a cool, dry place or bury them in the sand. They will not go bad even if they are stored all winter. Take it anytime you want. 2. Wash the white radish and cut it into long strips. Add a little salt to pickle the water out of the white radish, then dry it and store it in the refrigerator. The dried radish produced in this way can be fried, stewed, or eaten cold, especially when stewed with pork. It is definitely a delicious meal and appetizing. 2. Chinese cabbage

Although the price of Chinese cabbage is cheap, its nutritional value is very high. Especially after the frost, the Chinese cabbage with a layer of white "frost" tastes sweeter. As long as the temperature is low enough, Chinese cabbage is resistant to freezing and storage, and can be cooked in a variety of ways, such as pork stewed with cabbage and cabbage stuffed dumplings, which are often eaten in winter.

Chinese cabbage storage method: 1. Chinese cabbage only needs to be dried in the sun for two to three days, and then it can be stored in a cool place. Keep it ventilated and it will stay fresh for two to three months. 2. Put the washed and dried Chinese cabbage into a jar, add cold boiled cabbage and seal it for 15 days. Then it can be pickled into sauerkraut. It can be used to make sauerkraut fish and sauerkraut stuffed dumplings. You can eat it as you go. 3. Shepherd's purse

Shepherd's purse is a kind of wild vegetable that is rich in protein, vitamin C, carotene and calcium. It is particularly delicious whether used to make dumplings or make shepherd's purse scrambled eggs. And it is easy to store after processing.

How to store shepherd’s purse: remove the old leaves from shepherd’s purse, clean it, add water to the pot and bring to a boil, blanch the shepherd’s purse for half a minute and then take it out. During this period, you can add a little salt to ensure that the color of the shepherd’s purse will not turn yellow. Finally, remove the shepherd's purse and squeeze out the water, knead it into a vegetable ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. This way, the processed shepherd's purse ball can be stored in the refrigerator. It is convenient and quick to take out a vegetable ball every time you cook. 4. Green beans

Beans are rich in dietary fiber and vitamins. Many people like to add green beans when making stews. However, the production of green beans is relatively small in winter, so people will stock up on more after winter. Especially the dried beans, stewed with pork, taste chewy.

Storage method of green beans: remove both ends of the beans, wash them with water, boil them in a pot for 5 minutes (note here: the beans must be cooked, otherwise they will cause gastrointestinal discomfort), dry the cooked beans in the sun Store in a cool place. When cooking, soak the dried beans in warm water and cook together with other side dishes.
