Solanum nigrum is very common in the countryside of my hometown, both on the roadside and in front of and behind the house. Some knowledgeable elders will pick the leaves and cook them, also called cabbage.
Solanum nigrum belongs to Solanaceae and Panicum, and the height of the whole grass is 30- 120cm. The stem is erect and multi-branched, and the leaves are very similar to peppers, so it is also called eggplant. Small white flowers bloom in summer, and several flowers form cymes, which are small and elegant. Spherical fruit, like a string of small tomatoes, is purple-black when it matures, and birds like it very much.
The whole plant of Solanum nigrum is edible, which can dissipate blood stasis, reduce swelling, clear away heat and detoxify. If you want to eat young leaves, it is best to pick them before flowering, add eggs or lean meat to cook soup, and the taste is not bad; After flowering, the leaves are older and more bitter. Nowadays people are basically working hard in big cities, and children know little about these things.
