Artemisia selengensis leaves can be eaten, but first, because the surface of the leaves is not smooth, it is easy to be contaminated with soil, and it is difficult to clean. Second, it has bitter taste. Second, if the freshest leaves are not planted at any time, there will be more fiber and bad taste.

Years ago, I used to combine the practice of "Artemisia Baba" in the rural areas of southwest Anhui every spring. After washing and blanching the leaves to remove the astringency, I chopped them, seasoned them with diced bacon and green garlic, mixed them with rice flour to make Baba, and then fried them in an electric baking pan or steamed them in a steamer to make them full of Artemisia fragrance. (Flour can be blended with 30% glutinous rice flour +70% indica rice or 40% glutinous rice flour +60% corn flour, etc. , according to the desired taste. )
