Mountain grasshopper is not a pest, but a perennial plant called hawthorn, which is homophonic with grasshopper, so it is called "mountain grasshopper" dish. This plant is strange to many friends, because it only grows in the crevices of rocks on hillsides or hills in northern rural areas.

This wild vegetable has the special taste and smell of wild vegetables, but it must be soaked in boiling water for more than 24 hours. If it is eaten without soaking, it will be bitter and hard to swallow. As for the way to eat, it's mainly cold salad, stir-fried and stuffed buns wrapped in jiaozi.

In the mountains, late April and early May are the best time to pick grasshoppers. When picking, only pinch the tender tip of grasshopper, and take a pinch as the degree of breaking.

Every spring, after the grasshopper germinates, the people who pick it are also in an endless stream. As a foodie, I won't miss this delicious food.
