It can be picked and eaten in the spring when the seedlings grow, and it has a variety of ways to eat. It can be scalded in boiling water and then mixed cold, stir-fried, or chopped and then wrapped in dumplings or steamed buns. These are all traditional ways of eating since ancient times, recorded in the "Materia Medica".

Pengzi is not only a traditional high-quality wild vegetable, but also a very high-quality forage. Domestic livestock are particularly fond of eating fresh straw. When I was a child, my family raised pigs and cows, and when the cabbage was blooming, we used to cut the whole grass in large bundles and take it home to feed the livestock. Pengzi vegetables are rich in nutrients, and livestock can increase their weight and improve meat quality after eating.
In addition to being a wild vegetable and pasture grass, Pengzi also has a certain ornamental value. Some people like to cut off its branches for flower arrangement or decoration, which can play a good ornamental role. The leafy foliage of Pengzi cabbage presents a unique geometric pattern, giving a sense of beauty of nature and harmony.
Although it is a weed, it, like many plants, has medicinal properties. Pengzi cabbage has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, invigorating blood and menstruation, dispelling wind and relieving itching. According to the record of the "Handbook of Commonly Used Chinese Herbal Medicines in Northeast China", Pengzi can reduce swelling and remove stasis, detoxify and relieve itching, and effectively ** acute urticaria and boils. In "Sichuan Commonly Used Chinese Herbal Medicine", there is also a record of Pengzi cabbage, saying that it can clear heat and detoxify, and disperse blood stasis. These illustrate the importance of Pengzi cabbage in traditional Chinese herbal medicine.

However, there is a growing demand for wild herbs, and over-harvesting has led to a reduction in natural resources and ecological damage. Therefore, we need to strengthen the protection and rational use of wild vegetable resources such as Pengzi cabbage, especially in rural development, and should reasonably plan and plant wild vegetables according to local climate and land conditions. At the same time, scientific planting research can be carried out to improve the yield and quality of Pengzi cabbage and meet people's demand for wild vegetables.
