The broom seedlings that make brooms can also be cooked. Take advantage of the tender leaves to pick some nutrients and delicious. Have you ever eaten them?

The mention of broom seedlings reminds me that small farmers' hometown is in the northern countryside. When I was a child, there would be broom seedlings in front of the house and behind the house. Some were planted by my mother, and some were grown by scattered seeds. Broom seedlings can be used to make brooms, but when I was a child, my favorite was the broom seedling steamed buns made by my mother.

What is a broom seedling?

The broom seedling is also called the skin son, and the broom seedling has something to do with the broom as its name implies. Broom seedlings can be used to make brooms. In autumn, broom seedlings become withered and yellow after their elders, so they can make brooms at this time. When I was a child, my grandfather used to use broom seedlings to make brooms, tied them with hemp rope, and added a slender wooden pole to it. Sometimes the stem of the broom seedling is tied together without a pole, and it can be used.

Thinking about the past, there was really a lot of fun in life. Grandpa made many things at home with his own hands. Brooms are made of broom seedlings, dustpans are made of Hu Zhi sticks, sorghum can be tied up to sweep beds or case boards when they are ripe, towel gourd can be used to wash dishes when they are old, and so on. I feel that life is full of fun, but now these necessary skills for every family are now rarely understood.

Another thing to say is that broom seedlings can be eaten, but they are usually eaten only in spring, because at this time the broom seedlings are the most tender and can be eaten cold, steamed and fried, or steamed buns after making dried vegetables. My favorite thing when I was a child was to eat steamed broom seedlings, because there were few recreational activities when I was a child, so it was interesting to feel the tender leaves of broom seedlings picked at the back of the house.

Wash the tender leaves of the picked broom seedlings and blanch them in boiling water. Squeeze out the water with gauze, mix with flour and salt. Can be steamed on the pot, after steaming, add seasoning, mixed with mashed garlic can eat, the taste is very good. You can also stir-fry the steamed broom seedlings, which is also very delicious. Do you really want to have a try? it's easy to do it.

In addition, broom seedlings are still blindly Chinese herbal medicines, which have the effect of clearing away heat and detoxification, dispelling wind and relieving itching, and play a certain role in skin itching and bladder diseases.
