What's the difference between Vicki and Vicki?

What is bracken?

1. Bracken is a perennial herb of the order Pteridaceae, Pteridaceae, Pteridaceae and European fern. The plant is about 1 meter high, the leaves are needle-pinnate, the roots are long and horizontal, and they are shaped like iron ferns. They like to grow in sunny places in shallow mountains.

2. Bracken, also known as leading vegetables, is also called Qingming vegetable because it matures before and after the Qingming Festival. When the top leaves are curled and not yet unfolded, they can be used as vegetables, pickled bracken, etc., and the rhizomes can be washed and used as medicinal materials, so the economic value is very high. At present, they grow in all parts of our country, and they can be sold for three or four yuan a jin after maturity.

3. Bracken is a green wild vegetable without any pollution, with the laudatory name of "king of mountain vegetables". It is rich in protein, vitamins, a variety of amino acids, carotene, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other elements, and every 100g bracken contains 0.13mg vitamin B2, 27mg vitamin C, 1.04mg carotene and so on. However, because it contains a carcinogen "proferrin", eating too much will lead to stomach cancer, esophageal cancer, etc., but it will not have much effect if it is boiled in water a few times, but it is recommended to eat less. After all, the treated bracken can not completely eliminate this carcinogen, so Ching Ming Festival can eat less.
