This alien invasive weed was once a life-saving vegetable during the revolution, but now it has become a rich grass.

After the arrival of spring, all kinds of weeds in the countryside begin to grow one after another. for farmers, weeds are a part of life, some weeds are loved by them, and some weeds are hated by them. below, the author introduces to you such a kind of weed, which is both loved and hated by peasant friends.

When the author went to the village to pick wild vegetables in the morning, I saw this kind of weed at the edge of the field. Perhaps many elderly friends should know that it is "revolutionary vegetable". This kind of weed is called revolutionary vegetable because during the revolutionary war, many revolutionary seniors and poor people used it to satisfy their hunger and won victory by relying on this wild vegetable to satisfy their hunger, so it is not only a revolutionary dish, but also a life-saving dish. Therefore, for the older generation of peasant friends and revolutionary veterans, revolutionary food is a treasure.

However, although revolutionary food used to be a life-saving dish, many farmers hate it now, because revolutionary food, also known as Artemisia annua and Annan grass, is a kind of weed native to tropical Africa and invaded our country from India in 1930. It's an alien invasive weed.

Artemisia mandshurica often grows in wasteland, farmland, orchards and other places, with tall plants, rapid reproduction, rapid growth, strong adaptability and few diseases and insect pests. As long as there is a new open land, such as wasteland, burning land or dry riverbed, it is always the first to arrive. It can soon make the ground green, and revolutionary vegetables often persecute crops and orchards in farmland, and it is difficult to get rid of them. Therefore, it has also become a "evil grass" in the eyes of many peasant friends.

It can be said that revolutionary food is both loved and hated, but even so, it can not be denied its value, that is, it can be used both as a wild vegetable and medicinally.

The tender stems and leaves of revolutionary vegetables can be used as wild vegetables, which taste close to chrysanthemum, and the texture is delicate, sweet and delicious, and the nutritional value is very rich. Every 100 grams of edible part contains carotene 3.6 mg, vitamin B2 0.27 mg, vitamin C56 mg, calcium 51 mg, iron 6.2 mg and other nutrients.

And revolutionary dishes can also be used in medicine, with the effect of invigorating the spleen and detumescence, clearing heat and detoxification, can be used to treat cold and fever, dysentery, enteritis, urinary tract infection, malnutrition edema, mastitis and other diseases.

Revolutionary vegetables grow in the wilderness, which is not easy to collect or supply the market in time, but also destroys crops and orchards. If overharvested or over-collected, it will also destroy wild plant resources and ecological environment. Artificial cultivation of revolutionary vegetables can not only increase the economic income of farmers, but also enrich people's vegetable baskets, and protect plant resources at the same time.

Therefore, some peasant friends take advantage of its characteristics of fast reproduction, rapid growth, strong adaptability, and few diseases and insect pests to carry out extensive management. generally, it can be harvested every 8 to 15 days, and it can last until late August. Revolutionary food has also become a "rich grass" for many peasant friends.
