Is gray vegetable poisonous?

1. Whether it is toxic or not

There was a folk legend that this plant was poisonous. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Because some people mistake the seedlings of Datura mandala for this plant, so they think it is poisonous. In another case, eating too much produces some symptoms that make them think that the plant itself is poisonous. We need to understand that it is non-toxic. However, it should be noted that it is similar to the seedlings of Datura mandala. Therefore, they must not be confused, because the real "mandala" is toxic. However, just because they are similar does not mean that gray vegetables are poisonous.

2. Points for attention

Although this plant itself is not poisonous, it contains a lot of photosensitive substances. So, in some cases, people eat it, or their skin comes into contact with its juice, and if they are exposed to the sun at this time, they may have "solar dermatitis". Besides, you can't eat too much. If you eat too much at one time, or have been eating it for a period of time, it is likely to lead to "edema" phenomenon.

(2) also, if a gray vegetable with a purplish back is observed, it should be paid attention to. Never eat it, because it's poisonous.

3. Expert advice

(1) avoid eating purple on the back. In addition, you need to blanch the water before eating, which is safer.

(2) it's best not to bask in the sun after eating it. Also, pay attention to whether the hands are glued to its juice, if so, be sure to clean it in time.

(3) even if you eat it, don't overdo it, and don't eat it for a long time in a row.
