Shepherd's purse, as a unique delicacy in spring, is hard to eat in other seasons. You can blanch the whole shepherd's purse, squeeze out the water, wrap it in plastic wrap, put it in the refrigerator and store it for several months. Cook it after thawing, which is similar to fresh taste.

Recently, it is the growing season of all kinds of wild vegetables. Pay attention to distinguish when digging shepherd's purse. Many people can't tell shepherd's purse from dandelion. The simple way to distinguish is that dandelion leaves are large and special triangles, and shepherd's purse leaves are small and slender.
