There are many wild plants in rural areas. For example, under the hillside, we can see bonsai trees such as gold marble , pyracantha . The branches and leaves of these two bonsai trees are more beautiful. There are some small fruits during the fruiting period, but the fruits cannot be eaten and are generally used for viewing. They are also very famous "fruit-viewing plants", which are better than most flower-viewing plants and leaf-viewing plants , so many flower lovers dig gold marbles and pyracantha to plant. It is very good to be potted. Their underground tubers are well developed.
In fact, in the countryside, there are not only bonsai trees, but also some more valuable wild grasses, that is, wild plants. Among them, there is a wild plant called " dog head ginseng ". The name of this plant is a bit ugly, but it is useful. In the past, among the people, many elderly people went to the mountains to dig dog head ginseng. The underground rhizomes are as big as radish . Sometimes, a few are dug in a bag and put them in a pound. We simply dig 1 catties and go home. They are quite valuable. Some people have purchased them. Let’s take a look at this plant together.
In fact, dog head ginseng is not the scientific name of this plant. Its scientific name is Four-leaf ginseng . Since the plant has 4 leaves, the underground rhizomes not only look like radish, but also like ginseng, it is called "Four-leaf ginseng". Most of its plants are different, and the plants are relatively low. When growing in rural mountains, it looks similar to the precious Seven-leaf and one-branch . Because it likes a humid environment, when the air humidity in the wild becomes higher, its leaves will also become oily and green, bright, rich in ornamental value.
Some flower lovers say that we are not called four-leaf ginseng here, but potato , mountain snail , white python meat, mountain carrot , etc. In fact, they are all OK, because these are also alias for four-leaf ginseng. It is called different places and different flower lovers. We must understand that it is a plant of the genus Platycodon family and Codonopsis, just identify it.
The four-leaf ginseng that was dug out was found. After the root system was broken, some liquid flowed out. It was quite strange. When I was a child, I often went to the mountains to look for it. At that time, I only knew it was valuable, but I didn’t know its specific use. In fact, four-leaf ginseng has many uses.
was used to cook in the folk
Four-leaf ginseng is also a plant that can be cooked in the folk. After professional processing, the dishes are made of , which tastes neither sweet nor light, and has the characteristics of fragrant smell. Fry it casually and the taste is also very good. It is regarded as a kind of "wild vegetable". If it is fried in rice flour, it will probably be more fragrant. Flower lovers can understand the specific methods of cooking by themselves. It should be noted that if it is not processed properly, it may be slightly toxic.
Nowadays, living conditions are better. Generally, I will not pick this wild vegetable to eat. Some of them are even poisonous, so there is no need for flower lovers to try it. Its value is reflected in its "medicine use". Four-leaf ginseng is also a herb.
In "Bielu", this plant is described as "suffering from dizziness, nourishing qi, and growing muscles". From this we can see that four-leaf ginseng is now a very good "Chinese medicinal material". The plants are still very precious. If flower lovers see four-leaf ginseng in the bamboo forest or on the roadside in the countryside, they will have to be protected. Some flower lovers directly dug 1 kilogram to plant it home. After half a year of maintenance, the rhizomes of the plant grow fat, which is also valuable at this time.
In which season is the root of the four-leaf ginseng? Generally, the harvest is in the autumn of the second year after planting. At this time, the rhizomes of the plant are well developed. Cut out and remove the fibrous roots and roots and , clean them and then dry them to store.
Regarding the "dog head ginseng" that often grows and reproduces in rural areas, it is actually four-leaf ginseng. That’s all. Dear friends, is there this plant in your hometown?
