As a common wild vegetable, mud cabbage is often picked by farmers around the Qingming Festival to make Qingtuan for consumption. In addition to being used to make Qingtuan, mud cabbage is also a high-quality wild vegetable that can be stir-fried or saladed, and can even be used as a filling to wrap dumplings. In the past famine years, mud cabbage was used as a life-saving thing, so some people also called it a "life-saving dish".
In addition to being used as an ingredient, it also has a high nutritional value. Mud cabbage is rich in dietary fiber, vitamin C, carotene and other trace elements. Dietary fiber helps to improve intestinal function and promote bowel movements, especially for people who are prone to constipation, picking and eating muddy cabbage is a good choice. And vitamin C and carotene are very important for improving the body's immunity.
As a wild vegetable, the picking of mud mustard is very simple. However, due to its bitter taste, it needs to be cooked with soda or a small amount of alkali and washed to remove the bitterness before eating. Whether as the main ingredient of Qingtuan or as a stand-alone dish, mud hu is a delicious and nutritious ingredient.
In addition to being used as an ingredient, mud cabbage also has high medicinal value. According to the record of the book "Guizhou Herbal Medicine", mud Hu has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, removing stasis and building muscles. Therefore, in rural areas, some elderly people who understand its value will pick mud cabbage to deal with things like knife wounds and bleeding.
The discovery of the medicinal value of the herb is largely due to the research and practice of the farmer friends on the plant. It also reminds us that there may be many undiscovered and untapped treasures hidden in the surrounding natural environment, and that it is necessary to protect and study these plants to explore their potential value.
The distribution of mud Hu is very wide in our country, except for a few western regions, almost all over the country can be found in the figure of mud Hu Cai. It is commonly found on roadsides, in fields, and in wild fields, and grows luxuriantly. This wide distribution makes it more convenient for farmers to pick mud cabbage in the wild.
However, because most of the farmers do not have a deep understanding of the mud weed, many of them are also ignored as weeds. Therefore, here we also hope that farmers can deepen their understanding of mud and give full play to the nutritional value and medicinal effects of its high-quality wild vegetables.
As a common wild vegetable, mud mustard grows in rural fields, roadsides, streams and other environments. This also reflects the harmonious coexistence of nature and humanity in China's rural areas. The understanding and utilization of wild vegetables and their characteristics not only meets the needs of people's lives, but also protects the natural ecology.
In addition, the research and understanding of mud Hu also provides us with a model for thinking. There may still be many resources and values in our lives and societies that we have overlooked, and only through deeper understanding and research can we better live in harmony with nature and discover more opportunities and possibilities.
