This plant can be seen everywhere in the countryside, but it has been sold for 25 yuan a pound, have you ever seen this plant? Native ginseng is a perennial herb influenced by its habitat. There might be someone more familiar with his other name, Kulan.
The whole plant of earth ginseng is about 1 meter, the main root is generally conical, the stem is mostly upright, and the leaves are oblong oval, like the shape of an elongated egg.
The natives attended the meeting to open a small flower, and most of the petals were pink or lilac. Another special thing is the opening time of its flowers, which always bloom in the afternoon, which is just when people cook, so some areas will call him "cooking rice flower".
Native ginseng generally blooms in June to July and bears fruit from September to October. The life of the native ginseng seems to be just an ordinary grass, but why would it sell for 25 yuan a catty?
This has to mention his medicinal value. Native ginseng is distributed throughout the south of the Yangtze River, so the countryside in the south is more common. The reason why it is called earth ginseng, of course, is because its roots are similar to ginseng, and the effect is similar, with the effect of strengthening the spleen and nourishing and strengthening.
In the past, the cultivation of Chinese herbal medicine was still very small, can only rely on wild supply, and the price of ginseng is too high for ordinary people, and mainly concentrated in the northeast, the northeast of the ginseng distribution is small, the number is also small, in contrast, it reflects the magic of the local ginseng. The number of parameters of the natives is large, and they can be dug up everywhere in the wild, even the poor people can afford it, which can be described as a treasure of the poor years.
So since it is common to have a lot of quantities, why do they sell for such a high price?
There are many local ginseng that can be found everywhere in the countryside, so why can it be sold at such a high price when you come to the city? Native ginseng came to the city to soar in value, but in the countryside a large number, so at this time everyone may want to pick some of their own food, but before this to remind everyone, in the mainland there are a variety of different "native ginseng", such as money leopard root, Ming Dang ginseng, there are many such plants, although the appearance is not very similar, but such as big tooth angelica, turned white grass heel, sweet potato seedlings and moss horse artemisia, these are the local population in the "native ginseng", these plants can not be easily mixed.
Although they are the same Chinese herbal medicine, the effect is very different, and some even have a slight toxin, which must be paid special attention to. If accidentally ingested, there may be a risk of poisoning.
Back to the main topic, why do these ubiquitous ginseng sell for such a high price? Here we have to talk about the other use of local ginseng in addition to medicinal value, edible value.
Wild vegetables in recent years have often been put on the table as a delicacy, dandelion, purslane, plantain we often see on the table, native ginseng itself is a "treasure", the value is higher than the general weeds, and now of course has a place in the market.
As food, the young stems and leaves of the local ginseng - ginseng vegetables taste tender and smooth, and the nutrition is very rich, containing protein, vitamin C, amino acids and other nutrients, whether it is soup or cool, or frying, frying, cooking, frying, are very delicious, daily consumption can nourish the qi, moisturize the lungs, medicine and food dual-use, this is a high-end dish in the restaurant. So they sell very well in the market and are very popular.
In addition, the earth ginseng has another wonderful use!
Do you know? In addition to medicinal and edible use, native ginseng can also be used as a potted plant for ornamentation. Although the flowers of the earth ginseng are not large, it is very complementary to its leaves are very fat!

There is no problem with the soil ginseng plant for several years, and he is also like ginseng, the longer he raises, the higher the value, the larger the old root, and the rich may not be able to get wild old root soil ginseng!
Is there nothing to pay attention to in the breeding of such a well-fed native ginseng? The only thing that needs to be noted about this plant is that it is easily affected by temperature, and when the temperature is below 15 degrees, it will stop growing, so the yield in the summer will be relatively high, so it has become a typical seasonal vegetable, which makes it appear that native ginseng is more rare. This is one of the reasons why he can sell for a high price.
