Watch out!!!
These "wild herbs" are also poisonous

Wild herbs have no special nutritional value
01
Are wild vegetables really natural, healthier and more nutritious?
In fact, most wild vegetables are naturally grown, but they are not considered green foods. Wild plants that grow on roads and near factories are at a much higher risk of contamination. Exhaust fumes emitted by automobiles and pollutants in the air will also be deposited on the surface of wild vegetable leaves, and wild vegetables that grow in parks, green belts and other places may also be sprayed with pesticides, etc., which are not safe to eat.
In terms of nutrition, although the dietary fiber and vitamin C content of many wild vegetables are higher than those of cultivated vegetables, because wild vegetables are bitter and there is a potential risk of environmental pollution, everyone will soak and blanch them before eating, and after treatment, the nutrients of the wild vegetables themselves will also be lost, and the nutritional value is not necessarily higher than that of ordinary vegetables. In addition, the content of oxalic acid and alkaloids in wild vegetables is relatively high, which will affect the digestion and absorption of nutrients, so wild vegetables do not have nutritional advantages.
02
Special populations need attention
In addition to the type and amount of wild vegetables, it is also related to the individual's physique.
For example, wild vegetables such as Houttuynia cordata and wild garlic contain a large amount of volatile oil and other plant active substances, which are easy to cause allergic reactions.
In addition, most of the wild vegetables in spring have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and most of the wild vegetables belong to cold food, and people with weak spleen and stomach should not eat.
