Why does mom always bring back wild vegetables? I didn’t understand it when I was a child, but now I know that “wild vegetables” are really good things!

No matter how you persuade the little ones, they just won't eat. No matter how nutritious or what the nutritional elements are, they don't care about anything. They just want to eat snacks... I get angry every time I talk about it. They don't know how delicious fruits and vegetables are! The vegetables are green and they are safe and delicious to eat!

Nowadays, people, for the sake of health, even choose organic vegetables. Usually, organic vegetables are more expensive than ordinary vegetables, and our “little ancestors” don’t like to eat them. There is really nothing we can do about them!

I don’t know if you have noticed that almost every family’s dinner table always has a plate of wild vegetables with unknown names served on it once or twice, or three or four times a month. They are either used to make dumplings or served cold, etc. They are delicious, but I just can’t name them.

Many people can’t stand the taste of wild vegetables, but in fact, as long as they are processed properly, they still taste delicious! Today, Huahua will tell you what wild vegetables we often eat and what are the benefits of eating these wild vegetables?

Portulaca

Purslane is probably the wild vegetable we eat most often. Although Purslane may sound unfamiliar, everyone must be familiar with Grasshopper Grass, right? Once or twice every year, my mother would bring back grasshopper greens and make buns with them. They were so delicious! Grasshopper grass has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, and can also lower blood sugar concentration. Eating more of it is good for your body!

Shepherd's Purse

Shepherd's purse shouldn't be called a wild vegetable, right? In recent years, the popularity of wild vegetables has been very strong. Shepherd's purse has been used as a food ingredient by many chain food manufacturers, especially in quick-frozen dumplings, where shepherd's purse has become a hot item! But who made it delicious? Haha! Every time I eat shepherd’s purse buns, I eat one in one bite!

Amaranth

Amaranth generally grows in spring. As a dark green leafy plant, amaranth contains a lot of nutrients. Making a bowl of amaranth porridge with it is so fresh and delicious that it's amazing! Amaranth is also known as a "blood-replenishing vegetable", but don't eat too much at one time, as it may cause dermatitis.

In addition to the three wild vegetables mentioned above, there are many others that Huahua has not mentioned, such as bitter herbs, mugwort, water celery, toon, etc., which can be turned into delicious dishes with a little processing. For example, it can be made into porridge, wrapped into dumplings or buns, mixed into cold dishes, or pickled into small pickles, all of which are very delicious.

In daily life, we should not only eat more vegetables, but also eat some wild vegetables appropriately, which is also good for the body. Finally, I hope everyone can have a good appetite~
