Every spring, many people go for a spring outing in the suburbs, and when they see the tender wild vegetables coming out of the ground, they can't help digging a basket.
When I was a child, I was short of materials and had no food to eat in winter. Cabbage and radish that have survived a winter are most looking forward to eating early-maturing wild vegetables in spring.
Therefore, wild vegetables in spring are also the first delicious food in a year.
When I was a child, I dug wild vegetables and played all over the mountains. Not only can you dig a basket of wild vegetables, but you can also feel the breath of spring, which has a unique taste of spring.
After growing up, although many people now live in cities and are forced to go out to work for a living, they dig some wild vegetables every spring around Tomb-Sweeping Day and after ancestor worship. Some wild vegetables are especially memorable when they were young. They are delicious and nourishing.
Now many old people are still eating, so let's see which dishes are more popular.
First, shepherd's purse
To say that the most delicious dish in wild vegetables is shepherd's purse.
In my childhood, some writers wrote that the feeling of digging shepherd's purse, the taste of shepherd's purse, is still hidden in my heart.
Shepherd's purse shepherd's purse is widely distributed all over the country. In the cold spring, new buds just appear. At this time, it was just the time to dig shepherd's purse, and one tender shepherd's purse was gently dug into the basket.
You can make jiaozi, pancakes, steamed shepherd's purse and eat it together. You can eat it with a mouthful of fragrance.
Shepherd's purse is not only delicious, but also has the effects of invigorating spleen and nourishing liver, diuresis and hemostasis.
Eating shepherd's purse often has a very good health care effect.
Second, Artemisia ordosica
Artemisia ordosica is a compositae herb, which began to turn green around Tomb-Sweeping Day.
There are often a lot of Artemisia ordosica in some wheat fields. When I was a child, I went to the wheat field to weed, mostly Artemisia ordosica. After a little digging, I brought back a basket of pancakes and steamed them.
The newly grown tender leaves have a unique fragrance, and then sprinkled with minced garlic and cooking oil, the fragrance of garlic stimulates the fragrance of Artemisia annua, which is the taste of spring.
There are many Artemisia annua. Even now, there are many fields planted with a lot of Artemisia annua. It not only tastes delicious, but also has the functions of clearing away liver and toxic materials, eliminating dampness and clearing heat, and has a good curative effect on arthritis and rheumatism.
Therefore, digging some mugwort leaves to eat in spring also has a good health preserving effect.
Third, dandelion
Dandelion has the deepest memory when it was a child. Many old people dig dandelions and simply wash them with dipping sauce. It tastes bitter.
But the old man said that its medicinal value is very high, and it has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, preventing colds, diminishing inflammation and diuresis. Eating often can nourish people. Dandelion is also called a woman's wife. Its flowers are very beautiful.
Digging its leaves can make pancakes, cold salad, dipping sauce and soup.
But the taste is slightly bitter, but it is still acceptable.
Fourth, gray vegetables.
Grey vegetables are distributed all over the country. Its seedling stage is relatively late, and new buds appear in April. At this time, gray vegetables taste best. Tender gray vegetables can be fried with its tip, and cold dishes and soups are delicious.
In the past, many wild vegetables, weeds and gray vegetables in the farmland were not cleaned up, which shows how vigorous it is.
At present, the number of gray vegetables is also very small, because of the extensive use of herbicides, but if you see gray vegetables in the wild, don't miss it.
Grifola frondosa has the functions of lowering blood pressure, relieving pain and eliminating dampness. Regular eating can also prevent anemia in children and supplement calcium for the elderly, which has a good effect on health.
Fifth, amaranth.
In many fields in the countryside, fat and tender amaranth grows. Amaranth is also a common weed, but it tastes good.
Its picking month is about April-June, and the newly sprouted amaranth is the most delicious. You can pinch the tip and fry it, eat it cold or wrap it in jiaozi. The soup is delicious no matter how you eat it.
Because amaranth is rich in nutrition, many people now grow amaranth. As the saying goes, amaranth is an egg in June, and gold is not exchanged in July, which shows the nutritional and medicinal value of amaranth.
Amaranth also has a strong health function, which has the effects of improving eyesight, nourishing liver, clearing away heat, relaxing bowels and strengthening bones.
Eating regularly is comparable to taking health care medicine.
Sixth, purslane
Portulaca oleracea is called immortal in rural areas because of its tenacious vitality. Even if a bunch of weeds are pulled out in the field, as long as Portulaca oleracea is dipped in some soil, it will soon survive, blossom, seed and then multiply in a large area.
Weeding as a child can make purslane a headache.
However, purslane is a very delicious wild vegetable. Portulaca oleracea tastes particularly good, and it will have sticky juice when burned.
However, this viscous juice has strong medicinal value. When I was a child, I drank purslane water, and I can cure the disease soon. It is also a traditional Chinese medicine recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica, and it can also prevent cholesterol and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Portulaca oleracea is rare now. If you see a small piece, you can pinch its tender branches and eat it. Jiaozi and cold salad are delicious. You can also pinch a branch and insert it at home to grow into a plant with super reproductive ability.
Seventh, bracken.
Pteridium aquilinum is also a unique delicacy in early spring, and the best edible length is about 10 cm when the new buds are not in spring.
Can be fried, wrapped in jiaozi, dipped in sauce. The taste is unique and delicious, and the medicinal value of wild bracken is relatively high, which can clear away heat and toxic materials, moisten the lungs and activate the collaterals.
Eating bracken often not only tastes good, but also has better health care effect.
Eighth, wormwood
Artemisia used to grow in a large area in rural areas, but now the number is relatively small.
Wormwood has strong medicinal value and traditional efficacy in rural areas.
Wormwood has a special fragrance and a strong mosquito repellent effect. A few mosquitoes at home are afraid to come, and wormwood still has many medicinal values. Now many people use wormwood as the raw material for moxibustion. Soaking its leaves in water can relax muscles and promote blood circulation. Regular consumption can warm meridians and dispel cold, which has a good effect on the body.
Before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, many people cut down wormwood and hung it at the door to ward off evil spirits.
Putting wormwood at home when you get married means infinite love, so wormwood has always been loved by rural people.
The tender leaves of wormwood can also be boiled and drunk, fried and eaten to make green balls. You can also cook eggs with wormwood and make stuffing for jiaozi, which is not only delicious, but also has a strong health-preserving effect.
Ninth, noodles.
When I was a child, I often saw noodles in wheat fields, which were a bit like wheat seedlings. Its leaves are thin and long, and how tall a person can grow.
When I was a child, I often saw purple flowers, and seeds were often used as small wine bottles to play with.
However, since noodles were accepted and loved by urban people, the number of such noodles has dropped sharply.
In early spring, you can easily dig out a big basket and take it home to steam and eat it cold. Very delicious.
Rich in vitamins and amino acids, it was a common delicacy when I was a child.
However, there are not many noodles now, even in the ground. There are many artificially cultivated noodles now.
It is also a delicious food that people miss very much in spring.
However, the taste of artificially cultivated noodles was not eaten when I was a child.
I may feel like digging wild vegetables when I was a child.
Of course, there are many wild vegetables and weeds in the field. If you go out for an outing in spring, don't miss them. Which one impressed you the most? Please leave a message.
