Burdock is a plant for both medicine and food, so it is rich in medicinal value and edible value. It has the following functions:

1. Burdock: bitter and cold in nature, it is often used to treat constipation and tinnitus caused by wind-heat, cold, cough and accumulation of heat toxin, especially for sore throat and swollen gums caused by internal heat.

5, burdock energy is low, and contains rich protein, calcium, vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, especially carotene content is very high, so it can help defecation, excretion, promote metabolism, improve human immunity, so it is also very suitable for people to lose weight. Modern people often drink burdock tea, mostly because it can promote defecation and other functions. Japanese and Taiwanese women are also particularly favored by burdock tea. I believe it can help reduce fat and control weight.

In addition, I would like to remind you that burdock cold can embellish the intestines and relieve defecation, so people with spleen deficiency and diarrhea should not eat it.

The above is the introduction of burdock, I believe we all know what burdock is in the end, not only high edible value, but also a certain medicinal value. As burdock contains a lot of iron, as long as it is exposed in the air, it will be oxidized to dark brown. In order to avoid discoloration, cut burdock should be soaked in clean water immediately so as not to oxidize.
