Most of the friends who live in the countryside have their own vegetable garden. generally, they transform their backyard into a vegetable garden and then plant all kinds of vegetables. for example, green peppers, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, pickles and so on. For farmers who have grown vegetable gardens, the most annoying thing is the various weeds growing in the vegetable garden. These weeds often grow with vegetables, and they are not easy to get rid of, and they dare not apply pesticides, for fear of destroying the vegetables, so they have to pull up the weeds manually.

In the afternoon, the author weeded weeds in his vegetable garden, but although most of the weeds were pulled out and thrown away, some weeds had to be left behind, including "sun immortality". Many friends must be very curious about what kind of weeds this "sun immortal" is. I think friends who have lived in the countryside should know that it is purslane, the reason why purslane is called immortal. It is because its vitality is quite tenacious, especially Portulaca oleracea likes high temperature, drought resistance, positive, generally how to sun, it can survive tenaciously, hence the name.

In fact, in the past, purslane was not very popular, but it was hated by many farmer friends. As for the reason, the author thinks that only farmers who have planted land can understand it, because purslane is a kind of harmful grass besides its name.

Purslane likes to grow in vegetable gardens and farmland, and it likes fertile soil, is resistant to drought and waterlogging, and is strong in life, and it is easier to survive than most crops and vegetables, especially in the case of drought or waterlogging, when crops and vegetables die. Purslane will not die, you can imagine how strong its vitality is.

For this reason, it often eats the nutrients of crops and vegetables, resulting in poor growth of crops and vegetables, thus reducing production. Once in the past, farmers hated it very much and uprooted Portulaca oleracea whenever they saw it.

But nowadays, it can be said that purslane is loved not only by farmers, but also by friends in the city. It is easy to say that purslane can be picked at any time in the countryside, but in the city, purslane has changed into a rare wild vegetable worth 10 yuan a jin.

Although Portulaca oleracea used to be "abhorrent", it has to be said that its nutritional value is very good, and it tastes sour and tastes good. According to records, purslane is rich in dihydroxyethylamine, malic acid, glucose, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin E, carotene, vitamin B, vitamin C and other nutrients. Whether it is eaten raw or stir-fried, the flavor is good. Regular eating can also reduce the concentration of blood cholesterol and improve the elasticity of blood vessel walls, which is very beneficial to the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Portulaca oleracea not only can be eaten, but also has high medicinal value. According to the records of "Chinese Materia Medica", the whole herb of Portulaca oleracea can be used as medicine, with the effects of clearing heat and dampness, detoxification and detumescence, anti-inflammation, relieving thirst and diuresis, and the seeds of purslane also have clear-eyed effects. it can be used to treat fever, purslane, purslane purulent blood, fever, disease, carbuncle, erysipelas and other diseases, it can be said that purslane is a good weed of the same origin. It is precisely because of this that purslane is now so popular that weeds removed by people have become rare wild vegetables worth 10 yuan per jin.

Dear friends, summer is coming. Are you going to pull some purslane from the vegetable garden to eat?
