Eating bracken often is not good for your health, because bracken contains a kind of food called? Protopterin? Studies have shown that this substance is carcinogenic, so bracken must not be eaten often, but it is ok to eat it once in a while, so don't worry too much. In fact, bracken is just like sausage and barbecue. As long as it is not eaten in large quantities for a long time, there will be no problem and it will not have much impact on our health.

Pteridium aquilinum is a wild vegetable. What else is there? King of mountain vegetables? In our impression, wild vegetables are especially nutritious, and eating them often must be good for your health. Moreover, we can't buy mountain vegetables if we want, and the price is usually higher, which makes people feel more precious. My family is like this, and I have always regarded mountain vegetables as a particularly rare thing. Pteridium aquilinum is also my parents' favorite, but I can't always buy it. Fortunately, I can't buy it often, otherwise the consequences may be unimaginable.

Mountain vegetables are green and pollution-free, and it is indeed healthier without pesticides, but bracken is an exception, which has nothing to do with pesticides, but with its own ingredients. Pteridium aquilinum contains protofern glycoside which is not found in other wild vegetables. Only adding this substance will do harm to our health, so we can certainly eat it for a long time. At the same time, some measures can be taken to reduce the content of protopterin in bracken, that is, removing the leaf buds of bracken and scalding it at high temperature.

In fact, I think the taste of bracken is still good, especially the cold bracken. I like it very much. The fried bracken is actually good. Although delicious, you must remember not to eat too much. Even if the content of protopterin can be reduced by treatment, you should not eat more.
