In the fields of the countryside, we often see a plant that looks like a weed, and it is the parsnip. Although it is ordinary-looking, similar to many Artemisia plants, it is an extremely valuable herb. The name parsnip is very meaningful, and it is named according to its function. As the name suggests, Fengfeng means to defend and dispel wind. Parsnip, also known as copper rue, hundred branches, screens, wind meat, is a perennial herbaceous plant of the family Apiaceae and the genus Parsnip. Its roots are conical in shape, yellowish-brown or yellowish-brown in color, with rings on them, which look like earthworms. The windbreak stems are erect and the whole plant is **. The leaves are triangular-ovate, pinnae**. It blooms between July and September, with white flowers and fruit formation from August to November. The windbreak is distributed in various provinces of China, especially in Inner Mongolia and the three northeastern provinces. It is commonly found on the roadside, in the fields and in the grass, and is a common herbaceous plant for farmers.
Wind protection has three important roles in rural areas, let's learn about them together. First of all, the young stems and leaves of the parsnip can be eaten as wild vegetables. Like other plants in the Apiaceae family, the young stems and leaves of the parsnip can also be picked to make wild vegetables. As early as the Ming Dynasty, it was recorded in the "Materia Medica" that the poor people would go to the wild to pick the young leaves of the wind during the famine. After blanching the young stems and leaves with boiling water to remove the bitter taste, they can be stir-fried or cold for a refreshing taste. Secondly, the rhizomes of the parsnip can be used to make soup. In addition to the young leaves that can be eaten, the rhizomes of the parsnip can also be used in vegetables. They are often used to make soups, and are a nutritious medicinal diet that has the effect of dispelling wind and dampness, clearing the channels and relieving pain. The well-known chicken soup and porridge are popular delicacies. Finally, the whole herb of parsnip can be used medicinally and has extremely high medicinal value. Parsnip is not only an ingredient, but also a commonly used remedy for wind. Even the ancient medicine book "Shennong's Materia Medica" also lists parsnip as the top grade. According to the record of "Materia Medica", the wind can ** all kinds of wind evil diseases, and it is also mentioned in the "Materia Medica" that it has a role in ** wind, cold and dampness. The high medicinal value of parsnip can be seen.
The value of parsnip among farmers cannot be underestimated, and its important role makes us have a deeper understanding of it. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer of these precious herbs in rural areas, so we should cherish them. The value of parsnip is not only reflected in nutrition and medicinal use, but also reflects the accumulation of rural wisdom and experience. As farmer friends often say: "There are no weeds in the countryside, and all that can be used are treasures." For agricultural production, the recognition and use of these herbs will help improve yields and the quality of life of farmers.
In conclusion, parsnip is an extremely valuable herb. Not only can it be eaten as a wild vegetable, but it can also be used in soups and has high medicinal value. The multi-functional nature of windproof has led to its widespread use in rural areas. We should value and protect these precious herbal resources, not only to enrich our diet, but also to inherit rural wisdom and promote rural development.
These are the three main effects of wind protection and the reason why it is extremely valuable. It is hoped that farmers can pay more attention to and make use of this herb, which can not only enrich the diet, but also obtain health and medicinal benefits. At the same time, I also hope that everyone can cherish the natural resources of rural areas, protect these precious plants, and contribute to rural development and environmental protection. "
