In the countryside of our country, there are many weeds that can be eaten, such as dandelion, plantain, purslane and so on. When they grow up, they are grass, but young seedlings are delicious wild vegetables. These wild vegetables are not only unique in flavor, but also have certain medicinal value, so they are loved by farmers. In the rural areas of southern China, there is a weed from America, which can be eaten not only in its tender leaves but also in its roots. Because the root looks like ginseng, the folk think it has the function of nourishing the body, and call it "fake ginseng".

The scientific name of fake ginseng is "Yulan". It is a perennial herbaceous plant. When it blossoms, red flowers and green leaves set off each other and look very beautiful. It was first introduced into China as a courtyard ornamental plant, and later escaped as a weed. Magnolia has strong vitality and can grow in stone cracks without picking the environment, which is very common in the south of our country. The tender stems and leaves of Magnolia are delicious and are a kind of first-class wild vegetable in the countryside. Young leaves can be picked and eaten at all times except the coldest two months in winter.

In Guangzhou, the tender stems and leaves of Magnolia are called "ginseng vegetables", and local growers grow it specially to supply the market in the urban area of Guangzhou. As for why it is called "ginseng dish", it not only wants to borrow ginseng to make a "gimmick", but also because it has a ginseng-like effect. Ginseng vegetables contain extremely high protein, vitamin C, amino acids, calcium, zinc, iron and other elements, with the role of nourishing qi, invigorating fluid and moistening the lungs, dredging breast and reducing swelling. For people who are physically weak and weak, it can nourish the body.

The roots of Magnolia are stout, shaped like ginseng, and can be dug up and eaten. Ginseng root (ginseng root) is commonly used in the folk, and the common eating methods are cold ginseng root, stewed ginseng root with spareribs, and so on. Langen root is much cheaper than real ginseng and is sold as a vegetable in the vegetable market, which is affordable to ordinary people. The soup stewed with langen is comparable to a medicinal diet, which can clear heat, detoxify, tonify deficiency and calm the mind, but it is also worthy of the name "fake ginseng".

Readers, do you know this kind of fake ginseng from America? Maybe there is growth in front and back of your house.
