In the spring, you should eat more artemisia annua, there is a difference between "big leaves" and "small leaves", don't buy it casually
In the spring, a large number of vegetables are listed, among which there is a very high nutritional value, and the price is still very cheap vegetables, many people like, many people hate, it is Artemisia annua, Artemisia annua is also called basil, Artemisia annua, chrysanthemum vegetables and so on. In ancient times, this dish was known as the emperor's dish, only the emperor could eat it, and in modern times, this dish has become a very ordinary vegetable, but it is a vegetable that people "love and hate", only because their smell is "strong and special". People who like to eat it will especially like it, and people who don't like to eat it, no matter how you go to "brainwash" it, don't like to eat it.
However, the nutritional value of Artemisia annua is very high, containing vitamin A, vitamins, carotene and a variety of amino acids, which is an excellent source of nutrient absorption by the human body. It also contains a variety of trace elements and volatile substances, and the consumption of Artemisia annua has a lot of help for our human body. Legend has it that in ancient times, there was an emperor who was suffering from a head disease, and he could not find a cure, and later after eating Artemisia annua, the disease was greatly improved, so he ordered all his men to eat Artemisia annua, which is the origin of the emperor's dish.
Although this matter has been impossible to study, but the nutritional value of Artemisia annua is real, and it really has the effect of calming the brain, because Artemisia annua contains more volatile substances, so the smell is very strong, but the Artemisia annua after boiling water does not have such a strong smell.

"Instructions are very good for cooking rice soup.
