Lepidium sativum L. is an annual fast-growing herb with a height of 20-40cm and usually covered with blue-gray powder cream. Stems erect, simple, usually branched at the top. British food doesn't like heat, so it should be shaded in summer to avoid exposure to the sun. During the growth of English vegetables, water should be replenished in time. If there is a long-term drought, English cabbage is easy to bolting and blossom, so we can't harvest its stems and leaves in time.

brief introduction

English cuisine, a very popular wild vegetable, grows in the northeast of China. Local residents like to use it to pickle kimchi, which is their favorite food. British cuisine is not only grown in the northeast of China, but also distributed in Inner Mongolia and Himalaya. It can also be seen in mountainous areas, valleys and roadsides.

English food is a kind of wild vegetable with unique flavor. It tastes slightly spicy and can play a good role in seasoning with other ingredients, so people give it two names-"Hu Gen Cai" and "Chili Cai". British food is popular not only in China, but also in Korean, Japanese, Russian and other places, which is naturally closely related to its unique flavor and innate value.
