According to the season and the growth law of plants, spring is the season when plants sprout and spread their leaves. The wild vegetables that people eat are the tender stems and leaves of plants, which are more than the wild vegetables, such as shepherd's purse, dandelion, gray vegetables and elm. In summer, some plants that germinate and spread their leaves late and wild vegetables that can be eaten for a long time are also the main edible wild vegetables.

The wild vegetables distributed in different places are different from the climatic conditions, so are the wild vegetables. We have been to long summer now, and the common wild vegetables are mainly bitter vegetables, oolong heads, pepper buds, Chinese toon buds and acanthopanax buds.

1, sowthistle

According to my investigation, the bitter vegetables here should be Sonchus, a plant of Sonchus in Compositae. The characteristics of the bitter vegetables are that they can be dug and eaten for a long time, and the edible parts are its tender leaves and white roots. There are ways to eat them, such as cold salad, cooking cakes, making soup, etc. We often make pickled vegetables in syrup, which is really delicious.

2, oolong head

Oolong head is the bud of Araliaceae Aralia elata, and some fresh leaves can also be eaten. I bought a lot in the market in May now, because Aralia elata grows in the mountains and germinates relatively late. Our way of eating is to blanch the water first and then remove the bitterness, and then make cold salad, fried pork slices, noodles with gravy, etc., which has a unique taste.

3, pepper buds

Zanthoxylum bungeanum is the tender leaf bud of Zanthoxylum bungeanum, and it is time to eat it here. The way to eat it is to blanch it first and then make cold salad, which tastes sweet and fragrant.

4, five plus buds

The Wujia bud we eat here is also called Wujidian, Maydian and leafless Dian. According to my investigation, it should be the tender leaf bud of Wujia scabra and Wujia Shu. The way to eat it is to blanch the water to remove the bitterness, and then make cold dishes, wrap jiaozi, stir-fry and so on. It has a unique taste.

5. Toona sinensis bud

Toona sinensis buds in summer are specially cultivated as vegetables, which can be harvested several times and eaten as vegetables for a long time.

In the Qing dynasty, bracken in Yunnan was also presented as a tribute to the palace. Pteridium aquilinum can be cold salad or fried meat, both of which are very delicious. Clean the freshly picked bracken, add water to the pot to boil, blanch the bracken and drain. Add oil to the pan, add garlic paste, stir-fry chili until fragrant, then add blanched bracken and stir-fry for a few minutes. Pteridium aquilinum is crispy and very delicious.
