A weed on the edge of the field said that wild spinach was once hated by farmers, but now it costs 9 yuan a jin.

In the morning, after the rain stopped at noon, the author went for a walk at the edge of the field and saw that many peasant friends were weeding weeds on the edge of the field, but there were several kinds of weeds, but they were tied up after they were dug up, and it seemed that they were going to be sold. The author went over to ask and learned that it was going to be sold, and one of the weeds grew special, because it was very similar to the vegetable "oilseed rape" that we often eat. This kind of weed is called "sour mold", also known as wild spinach and goat's hoof.

When it comes to this kind of weed called sour mold, farmers laugh. In the past, they always regarded this weed as a "malignant weed" on the edge of the farmland, but now they rely on it to make money, which is really interesting. This kind of weed used to be very unpopular because it likes to grow on the edge of the farmland. Rumex is a kind of perennial herb with developed root system, strong adaptability, strong spreading and fecundity leaves, and high growth (the maximum can grow to about 1 meter). It is a "malignant weed" in orchards, tea gardens and farmland, so in the past, many farmers hated it and dug it up to feed pigs as soon as they saw it.

However, with the improvement of living standards, people gradually find that Rumex is still a treasure, which can be eaten not only as a wild vegetable, but also as an herbal medicine. According to the farmer who dug up the sour mold at the edge of the field, the tender stems and leaves of the sour mold can be eaten as wild vegetables. The author consulted the data and found that Rumex is rich in vitamin A, vitamin C and oxalic acid, which is indeed a good vitamin supplement of wild vegetables.

In addition, Rumex also has medicinal value, its root can be used as medicine, with cool blood to stop bleeding, heat and defecation, diuresis, insecticidal effect. It is precisely because of its edible and medicinal value that many farmers not only do not hate it, but also regard it as a treasure. The farmer friend who dug up the acid mold at the edge of the field told me that it dug up these acid molds and sold them in the city as wild vegetables. now the tender stems and leaves of the acid mold can be bought for almost 9 yuan per jin, not only get rid of the weeds on the edge of the farmland, but also earn some pocket money, so why not do it? Dear friends, have you ever eaten sour molds or wild spinach?
