Spring returns to the earth, and everything recovers.
Why do humans love spring so much?
In addition to the beautiful scene of the revival of all things and the germination of flowers and plants, hundreds of millions of farmers have started the busy year during this time period, writing spring ploughing epics on the vast land.
And once the Lantern Festival is over, the messengers of early spring also follow a variety of spring dishes and appear freshly in the vegetable market.
And for the Jiangnan people who love to eat spring vegetables, from the "four wilds in early spring" to the "seven heads and one brain", from the "Book of Poetry" to the "Dream of the Red Chamber", a map of wild vegetables is also slowly opened--- shazhou wei cabbage green, Baguazhou reed artemisia is the most abundant, Jiangxinzhou's malantou is fresh.
These spring vegetables can play a role in eliminating spring dryness, reducing fire, as well as maintaining the effect of lowering blood lipids and stabilizing blood sugar, and has a very important health care effect on human health.

Fourth, mustard greens
The earliest dish that can be picked in early spring is the cabbage, which has been recorded in the Book of Poetry--- "Who is bitter, its sweetness is like a cabbage", and the cabbage has also accompanied Chinese diners for thousands of years.
And this small wild vegetable is not only widely distributed, strong in nature, the north and south of the river can find its figure, not to mention its delicious taste, whether it is stir-fried, soup or chopped to make filling, but also has a different flavor.
The most important thing is that the cabbage is still a small expert in calcium supplementation, 100g of cabbage contains 294mg of calcium, almost 3 times that of milk, although the absorption rate is not as good as the calcium of milk, but it is good to measure enough.
Because most Chinese people did not have the habit of drinking milk in the past, the general population has insufficient calcium intake, so relying on eating these dark green vegetables such as cabbage can also play a role in calcium supplementation.
Spring goes and spring comes again, and spring vegetables are full of life.
The spring light repeats itself, and the taste of these spring dishes has also sunk into the fine and dense cultural background of the people.

With the rejuvenation of the earth, a journey of early adopters, this has just begun.
