This weed is piled up on the side of the road, in fact, it can be used as a dish, making "clam rice" with a really strong aroma
When it comes to "weeds", I believe that everyone is no stranger. In many previous contents, Xiaohua has introduced many kinds of wild grasses to everyone. Some of them have special habits, some look strange, and some have extremely high nutritional value. I believe that everyone, through the previous introduction, will definitely have a feeling of being impressed by these inconspicuous weeds.
Of course, the wild grasses that magical nature can breed are certainly not only the ones that Xiaohua introduced before. Therefore, today I will introduce another kind of wild grass for you, everyone is used to calling it "clam", the scientific name is called "false grass".
Hearing this name, I believe that many friends living in Guangdong will not feel strange. Because it mostly grows in Liangguang, Fujian and southwest china. So what kind of practical value does it have?
The reason why The little flower will recommend it like everyone is naturally because of its unique practical value, which is introduced from two aspects.
Clams are a weed of great food value, and when its leaves are plucked, rubbed by hand, and placed in front of the nose, we can smell a strong fragrance. Therefore, in the Zhanjiang area of Guangdong, people are accustomed to using its leaves to make clam rice, which not only has the rich aroma of clam leaves, but also makes the rice eat oily and not greasy, very tasteful.
In fact, there are many foods that clams can make, for example, when the Guangdong region wraps rice dumplings, it will wrap the pork with its leaves and put in the glutinous rice, so that the humidity and heat of the glutinous rice can be neutralized. In the Hainan region, its leaves, fruits, and roots are used to make soup, so that the soup will be more fragrant and delicious. Not only that, Xiaohua also heard that clams contain a lot of chemical components, and have strong medicinal value.
The clam belongs to the piperier family, so its leaves are similar to the leaves of pepper, except that the leaves of the clam are rounded. Its fruit is blue, bunch by bunch, similar to the fruit of mulberry.
Clams, mostly grow in bamboo forests, wasteland, barren grass or roadsides. Generally in the south, it can grow as usual all year round. So all year round, if we want to eat clams, we can go to the wild to pick it, and there is no need to deliberately plant it. And it reproduces very fast, even if there are only one or two plants, it can quickly grow and multiply through the root system, and finally grow a dense clam.
Although we now have fewer and fewer chances of seeing clams in the wild. But if we are careful, there is still a chance to find them. Of course, if you like it, you can also plant a few clams at home, which is not difficult to raise at all!
