In the north, the colder it is, the more expensive fresh vegetables are, especially near the end of the year, vegetables are almost more expensive than meat, at this time I miss the spring, not only the vegetables will come down, but also you can dig wild vegetables and enjoy the delicious gifts of nature. However, it is almost "the beginning of spring", spring is not far away, and the expectation of wild vegetables will not be too long.
When it comes to wild vegetables, some wild vegetables have become the "wild vegetable ceiling" in the hearts of food lovers with their unique taste, even if it is high, it can't stop the enthusiasm of foodies. For example, how many of these wild vegetables have you eaten?
Toon
The leader of the neem family has become a delicacy on people's tables in ancient China. In spring, the reddish-brown leaves of the toon stand out.
However, in the spring, the toon's ** is staggering, when the first toon is ripe, the price is even as high as 210 yuan per catty, attracting many consumers who pursue unique deliciousness. Even after a large number of toons are listed, it is still difficult to reduce, and the unit of measurement is calculated according to "two", that is, one tael will cost dozens of dollars.
A few years ago, I was reluctant to accept the smell of toon, and I always felt that it smelled bad. It wasn't until a friend in Shaanxi Province taught me how to fry toons last year that I felt that the toon was actually very delicious, no wonder some people were willing to eat it for one or two dozens of yuan.
Artemisia quinoa
Artemisia quinoa, a wild perennial herb with the scientific name Artemisia annua. Artemisia quinoa is widely distributed in China, and the most famous is Artemisia quinoa near Poyang Lake in Jiangxi Province. There is a saying: "The grass in Poyang Lake is the treasure in Nanchang City", which shows the popularity of Artemisia quinoa in Poyang Lake.
Because in the grassy beach environment near the lake, Artemisia quinoa can grow more luxuriantly, the taste is fragrant, and the taste is sweeter, generally harvested around the Spring Festival, and the last harvest is in March, becoming a highly sought-after wild vegetable in the market, and a pound can be sold for about 35 yuan.
Artemisia quinoa is unique in that it can continue to grow as long as it takes root somewhere, as long as the root system is not pulled out. It is recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica": Artemisia quinoa has a sweet smell and is non-toxic, and it is mainly used to treat five swelling and evil qi, wind, cold and damp spleen, which is also one of the reasons why it remains the best in the market.
Walnut flowers
Last year, a netizen in Yunnan said that she was going to pick up walnuts and come back to stir-fry. So, this friend gave us a science about walnut flowers.
Walnut flowers are also a nutritious "wild vegetable", and their flowers become a favorite ingredient before the walnut tree bears fruit. The unique shape, green strip of the plant, although the appearance is reminiscent of a caterpillar, the rich protein and vegetable fatty oils contained in it become one of the reasons for it**. On the market, a pound of walnut flowers can reach more than 40 yuan, obviously, its ** is inseparable from the unique taste and rich nutrition.
Netizens in Yunnan also said that walnut flowers should try to pick up walnut flowers that fall under the walnut tree, look fresh, and try to pick them on the tree as little as possible, because many people can't tell the difference between female flowers and male flowers.
Sichuan pepper sprouts
Zanthoxylum sprouts are the buds that grow from the pepper tree, and people who like to eat pepper are irresistible to the spicy and refreshing taste of Zanthoxylum pepper buds. When the pepper tree has just grown buds, the market for this kind of sprouts is quite expensive, about 35 yuan a catty.
Zanthoxylum pepper sprouts contain a variety of vitamins, even if every household has a pepper tree when I was a child, but no one knows that Zanthoxylum pepper sprouts can also be eaten, however, people will pick pepper leaves, dry them and crush them into powder, which is used to make cakes or steam flower rolls, which is also very delicious.
These 4 kinds of wild vegetables, although the ** is high, but their rich taste and unique flavor make them the object of pursuit by food lovers, which can be said to be the "ceiling" of wild vegetables. These wild vegetables also represent the gift of nature and the relentless pursuit of deliciousness by man.
