1. Understanding Rana Rana
Toad skin is a kind of weed widely distributed in China, belonging to annual or biennial herbs of Lithospermum. There are obvious bumps on the surface of the leaves, which are very similar to the skin of toads, so they are also called frog grass. Because it is widely distributed in China, there are other nicknames: toad grass, gall bladder head, white grass, pig ear grass, rice spoon grass, seven-star grass, five grass, yellow frog turtle grass and so on.

Toad skin is commonly known as ground long skin, ground vegetables and so on. There are many areas with different names. Ground vegetables have high requirements for soil quality, water quality and natural environment, and are not easy to be polluted. Generally, it grows on hillsides and wet turf, and June to September is the picking season. China's central and western regions, such as Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and other provinces.
Toad skin can be fried or cold. First, prepare bright red peppers, add toad skin and stir-fry at oil temperature, then add onions, ginger and garlic.

Our country is vast in territory and abundant in natural resources, with too many products, and there are also many wild vegetables that can be picked in spring. Although the name of this "toad skin" asked by the topic is strange, it is inevitable that there will be similarities and repetitions because the names of wild vegetables are quite random. As far as I know, there are two kinds of wild vegetables whose names and shapes are almost the same. Let's talk about them below.
Nostoc commune is also called Nostoc commune, Nostoc commune, and Nostoc commune in some places. Because it is soft on the ground, and its texture is a bit like a gelatinous membrane, it is also called "toad skin". (For the convenience of reading, we will call this kind of "toad skin" Nostoc commune below, which is easy to distinguish.)
Although it looks ugly, Nostoc commune is very nutritious. This kind of blue algae wild vegetable is rich in protein, various vitamins and minerals, and its contents of calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium and other elements are relatively high, which is outstanding among all vegetables. Moreover, the amino acid composition of protein of Nostoc commune is quite high, which contains essential amino acids needed by the human body. Therefore, Nostoc commune is a very healthy wild vegetable, so it has become the real "king of wild vegetables" in many people's minds.
There are many ways to eat Nostoc commune. Almost as long as it is possible, Nostoc commune is suitable, whether it is cold, fried or stewed soup.
Toad grass is a common weed in many places, and it is distributed in almost all parts of the country except the areas with higher altitude in the northwest. Although this plant is the same color as the green leafy vegetables, its leaves are really ugly, and even a little uncomfortable for people with intensive phobia, so its name is associated with "toad skin". Some places in my hometown are called "toad skin" with this weed.
But to tell the truth, it's not quite the same as other wild vegetables. Toad grass tastes bitter, much more bitter than dandelion, so it was also thought by people before that it is more heat-clearing and fire-removing, and it was used to relieve sore throat, excessive internal heat and other symptoms in some places. But now people have too many vegetables and fruits to choose from, so the significance of this plant in eating is really not great, and it is really not delicious.
If you must introduce some ways to eat, you can blanch to remove some bitter taste and eat it cold, or you can soak it in water as a kind of wild tea after drying, which is at least much healthier than the bought drinks containing a lot of sugar, pigments and additives.
So do you like these two kinds of wild vegetables with the nickname "toad skin"? Do you know any similar wild vegetables with strange names?
Oviductus Ranae dried in the sun and boiled in water has obvious curative effect on sore throat and cough!
I've eaten it, and it has a special flavor. I want to eat it again!
soaking in water is better
it's bitter, and it tastes good?
I don't know this.
There are many kinds of grass in the countryside. I have seen it, but I have never seen anyone eat it.
