Dandelions can dispel fire and clear away heat, and can be drunk or eaten. If you don’t dig them now, you will get old!

I can't tell what a dandelion looks like.

Many people are fully equipped to go to the hillside to dig dandelions. When they arrive, they see wild vegetables all over the ground, but they can't tell which one is the real dandelion. Huahua will tell you about the characteristics of dandelions, and has found the following types of weeds that are not dandelions. Flower lovers must read carefully!

Dandelion is also called "Mother-in-law Ding". It can usually be dug in March in the south where the temperature is high. In the north where the winter is long, there will usually be fresh dandelions from March to May.

Dandelions have some characteristics that distinguish them from other wild vegetables:

First, the leaves of dandelions feel thin and green, and are purple and red near the roots.

Leaves that are curled, prickly, and fuzzy to the touch are not dandelions.

Secondly, if you break open the rhizome or leaves of a dandelion, white liquid will flow out, and if there is too much of it, it will stick to your hands.

Third, the dandelions we usually eat have small yellow flowers, one on a branch. Those with several flowers are not dandelions.

Fourth, the roots of dandelions are black, without too many whiskers, and are relatively thick and long. The roots have greater medicinal value in the later stages of their growth.

Dandelions are so useful, is it okay if you only know one of them?

Dandelion flowers bloom in spring. Dandelions in spring are fresh and delicious. Whether they are soaked in water or cooked, they are good for your health. However, dandelions are cold in nature, so people with weak constitutions should not eat too much.

1. As we all know, dandelion is very effective in reducing internal heat. Summer is coming soon. The hotter the weather, the easier it is to get a sore throat. Drinking water soaked with dried dandelions has a significant effect in reducing heat.

Steps:

① Select dandelions that grow well in the wild, dig them up with the roots using a hoe, and collect the whole grass.

② Clean the dirt from the roots of the dandelions. To maintain the effect, it is recommended not to wash them but to place them directly in a ventilated place to dry.

③You can cut the leaves and roots and dry them separately.

④ Separate the dried dandelion leaves, cut the roots into thin slices, and fry them at 500-1000℃. After confirming they are dry, put them into bags and refrigerate them. Take 3-6 grams at a time and brew them with boiling water for drinking.

Benefits of drinking dandelion tea:

①Remove fire and inflammation, clear away heat and detoxify

②Diuretic, enhance immunity

③ Remove dampness and heat, and get rid of acne and bad breath

④Clears the liver and promotes bile secretion, a good medicine for drinkers

2. Dandelion can be used as an ingredient for making porridge or cold dishes to reduce internal heat and nourish the skin. However, people with weak constitutions should not eat too much of it.

Steps:

① Wash the fresh dandelions and blanch them in boiling water. Cook them for one or two minutes. If you cook them for too long, they will become sticky and not tasty.

② Take it out and put it in another basin of clean water. Rinse it 1 to 2 times to remove the bitter taste. If you can accept it, you don’t need to rinse it too many times. Then wring it dry with your hands.

③If you want to make a cold dish, just take a portion and add salt, chicken essence, MSG, sugar, vinegar and other seasonings that suit your taste.

④ To make porridge, chop a portion of it into small pieces, cook it together with rice, and add salt and other condiments to taste.

In addition, we can also eat dandelions directly with sauce, or fry them with eggs like bitter melon, both of which are very good!
