Potato leaf vegetable is a kind of sweet potato leaf that only grows stems and leaves but no roots. It is known as the king of vegetables, Hong Kong is called the "queen of vegetables", and many countries are listed as nutritious dishes, health dishes and anti-cancer dishes.
Scientific studies have shown that potato leaf vegetables are rich in flavonoids, mucus protein, multivitamins, dietary fiber and other nutrients. It has the effect of preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, improving constipation, improving eyesight, and enhancing human immunity. And it is easy to eat, can be stir-fried (add garlic puree), can be cold mixed, can be squeezed juice, the taste is pure and mellow.
The cultivation of potato leafy vegetables is very simple. According to my years of cultivation experience: in April, there are potato leaf vegetable seedlings for sale in the market, usually four or five inches tall seedlings with roots, planted and watered, and survived in three or five days. If you can't find seedlings, go to the vegetable market to buy a bunch of stems and leaves without roots, cut them in moist soil in time (one per rose can be used), spacing six inches, water, and start to grow roots in about a week. Top dressing can be applied once a week, with urine nitrogen fertilizer and other organic fertilizers is the best, and urine is left for ten days to be watered. It is resistant to high temperatures, but water is indispensable. It is insect repellent and does not require pesticides. It will naturally grow and branch, and each plant will grow into a clump in about a month. If the stem is five or six inches tall, it can be cut and cut for cooking. It has a long growth period, and after each cutting, new stems and leaves will grow, which can be cut back and forth, and can be eaten for at least half a year, and is a common green food.
