Did you know that there are many different types of wild vegetables in China, and each wild vegetable has its own unique taste and nutritional value? Today, I'm going to give you an inventory of the wild vegetables we have eaten over the years!
The first thing to mention is, of course, the shepherd's cabbage. Shepherd's cabbage is one of the most popular wild vegetables in spring, it is delicious and nutritious. Whether it's made into dumplings or stir-fried, it can make people have an endless aftertaste. Moreover, shepherd's cabbage also has the benefits of clearing heat and detoxifying, which is a good choice for health preservation.
Then there are dandelions. Dandelion is known as a "natural antibiotic" and it has a bactericidal effect. Dandelion has a refreshing taste and can be eaten raw or drunk as a tea. In spring and summer, a cup of dandelion tea can not only quench your thirst, but also maintain your health.
And, of course, purslane. Purslane is a common wild vegetable in summer, and it is rich in vitamins and minerals. Purslane has a sweet and sour taste and is very appetizing. Cold purslane and purslane scrambled eggs are good dishes to cool off in summer.
In addition to these common wild vegetables, there are many unknown "treasure" wild vegetables. For example, plantain, wild garlic, gray cabbage, and so on. Although these wild vegetables are uncommon, they all have their own unique nutritional value and delicious taste. Next time you're in the countryside, try looking for these wild vegetables and taste the delicious gifts of nature.
Finally, I would like to say that although wild vegetables are delicious, not everyone can pick and eat them freely. Some wild vegetables contain toxins and need to be treated before they can be eaten. Therefore, it is important to be cautious when picking wild vegetables to ensure that you can identify them and eat them safely.
In addition, for uncommon wild vegetables, it is recommended to consult a professional or consult relevant information to understand their nutrients and consumption methods before eating.
In short, let's cherish the delicious gifts of nature, eat healthily, and live happily!
