Fern is a rural people are more familiar with a kind of mountain wild vegetables, in many parts of China's mountains can be seen, and this kind of vegetable resistance is very good, very heat-resistant, but also very cold-resistant. Fern is a seasonal wild vegetable, because of the relatively rich nutrition, so it is known as ? King of mountain vegetables? But the fern from the sprout to the leaves of the period of only about three or four days, so picking must be timely, otherwise there is no food value. As for the fern poisonous this statement, a small amount of eating is no problem, only a large number of eating will happen.

Fern inside the nutrients are very much, like carotene, vitamins, potassium, calcium, magnesium and so on, as well as 18 kinds of various amino acids. Because the fern is more nutritious, compared with other wild vegetables, it is certainly slightly better, so it has always been felt that the wild mountain treasures. However, in the past few years about the fern after eating will cause cancer news, has been circulating a moment caused everyone's panic, many consumers in the heard, but also not willing to go to buy fern again.

The reason for this report is that some professional researchers have found that there is a type II carcinogen inside the fern plant. But this substance will not affect the human body if it is not consumed in large quantities and only eaten a few times occasionally, so I also hope that you will not be misled by that kind of report. The ancient people of China, including those living in rural areas, have a long history of eating ferns, because the ferns have a very special taste and are a seasonal wild vegetable, so the number eaten each year is very small, and these carcinogens do not affect the human body at all.

And generally people in the mountains after picking fern back will first blanch, in the process of blanching, these carcinogenic substances will also be diluted. Ferns may not be very common in our country, but in Japan and Korea will feel that ferns are a very high-grade food, the average family may not be able to eat. Although in recent years, some people have been saying that eating fiddleheads can cause cancer, but this has not affected the export of fiddleheads in any way, Japan and South Korea, two countries still very much like this food.
