Hello everyone, I am your headline editor, and today I will bring you a little knowledge about seeing this wild vegetable in the countryside. Have you ever seen a wild vegetable called bitter hemp in the fields? Today, I'm going to unveil the mystery of bitter hemp for you.
1. The origin of bitter hemp
Hemp is a wild vegetable that grows in farmland, and its name comes from its characteristics - the leaves have a slightly bitter taste, and the surface of the leaves has a rough touch, like hemp. The origin of bitter hemp can be traced back to the southern regions of the mainland, such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang. For many years, bitter hemp was mainly used as a supplement for farmers to increase their nutritional intake.
2. The role of bitter hemp
Bitter hemp is not only delicious, but also rich in nutritional value. It is rich in minerals such as vitamin C, calcium, iron, and especially the leaves are extremely high in vitamin C. According to expert research, bitter hemp also has health effects such as antioxidant, lowering blood pressure and preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, a moderate daily intake of bitter hemp can help us strengthen our immunity and maintain good health.
However, in order to get the most out of the value of bitter hemp, we must master the right way to harvest it.
3. How to pick hemp properly
When you see bitter hemp in the countryside, remember to only pick the leaves, not the roots. This is because the root of bitter hemp is the most precious part, which contains higher nutritional value. If we uproot the whole hemp plant, we will not be able to enjoy the nutrients brought by the roots.
To ensure the freshness and taste of bitter hemp, we should try to pick it in the morning or at dusk. At this time, the leaves of bitter hemp are more tender and fresh, and the taste is more delicious. Of course, we also have to follow the regulations of farmland management so that it does not affect the normal growth of crops.
When we pick bitter hemp greens, we must pay attention to protecting the farmland environment. We can use tools such as scissors to prune the leaves and leave enough leaves for the bitter hemp to continue growing. This not only meets our needs, but also protects the farmland resources.
