The plants in the picture grow in the wild and are called "Maye" in some dialects in southern China.

Among the local villagers, the main purpose of hemp leaves is to cut their fresh stems and leaves home, wash and chop them up, and then cook them for pig food. This is a wild plant that can be used as pig feed.

As far as I can see: in the local area, there are also some families who artificially cultivate hemp leaves. Specific uses are: some are sold as cash crops for money; There are also some stems cut from hemp leaves and peeled off to make hemp ropes.

Earlier, I only knew the above two functions of hemp leaves. Then one year, I met a distant relative: my aunt. She recalled that when she was a child, her family experienced great changes. This piece of hemp leaf once saved her life: hemp leaf satisfied her hunger.

Pick fresh and tender hemp leaves, chop them up and make them into hemp leaves to satisfy hunger. I've only heard of it, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes, and I haven't seen anyone around eating hemp leaf cake. After reading the article, don't blindly follow the trend, otherwise all the consequences will be at your own risk.

Of course, for me, the most common function of hemp leaves is as food for pigs.

The pen name of hemp leaf is ramie, which is a plant that can be easily distinguished. Its leaves are like cattail leaves, growing in four different directions and arranged in a ring. Its leaves are green on the sunny side and white on the sunny side, that is to say, if you turn the leaves of hemp leaves over, you will see that the other side is bluish white.

On the tender stems of hemp leaves, there are layers of fine fluff. The stems of hemp leaves still have some characteristics in plants. They grow straight, and so do the stems of hemp leaves. They have been trying to grow up. There is a saying in the proverb that can prove this point: "Be unkempt and straight!" " .

Wild hemp leaves can generally grow to the knees of adults, and a few well-growing wild hemp leaves can also grow to the waist height of adults. There are also artificially cultivated hemp leaves. As far as I can see, the height of artificially cultivated hemp leaves is higher than that of adults.

That's all I know about ramie, so I'll introduce it here today.
