The author will introduce such a weed to you below. It was once fed to ducks by farmer friends, but now it has become a kind of first-class wild vegetable.

In the afternoon, the author went to the farmland to help weed, when the author weeding, at the foot of the nearby mountain, there are several old farmer friends are digging a kind of weed, the reason why the author will pay attention to these old farmer friends, because they dig out this weed, not as weeds thrown away, but loaded into the basket, the author is very curious, these old farmer friends dig this kind of weed what use.

After consulting several old farmer friends, I learned that this kind of weed is called "mountain lettuce", also known as "duck food","wild vegetables" and "soil lettuce".

Speaking of this kind of weed, several old farmer friends laughed, because this kind of weed is actually a very common weed in the countryside, mainly growing in farmland, roadside and under the mountain forest. In the past, it could not attract farmer friends to see it, because its leaves grow very strange, like sawteeth, and grow near the crop fields. Therefore, many farmer friends do not like it and often eliminate it as a harmful weed. However, because this kind of weed ducks like to eat very much, after removing it, They feed it to ducks, so it's called duck food.

But today lettuce is not only a weed for ducks, it's also a high-quality vegetable that people can eat. The author also consulted relevant data and found that the tender stems and leaves of mountain lettuce are not only edible, but also have high nutritional value. According to data records, the tender stems and leaves of 100 grams of mountain lettuce contain carotene 4.88 mg, vitamin B20.63 mg, vitamin C29 mg, crude protein 2.25 g, crude fat 0.74 g, crude fiber 2.62 g, calcium 700 mg, phosphorus 300 mg and other nutrients, especially calcium content is very high. It is 10 to 70 times that of ordinary vegetables (corn calcium content 1 mg/100 g, tomato calcium content 10 mg/100 g), so it has also become a kind of high-calcium wild vegetable among the people.

The mountain lettuce is not only rich in nutritional value, but also has medicinal value. It has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxification, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, strengthening stomach, and can be used to treat appendicitis, tonsillitis, furuncle swelling, food retention, postpartum blood stasis and other symptoms. Therefore, eating mountain lettuce can also cool blood, defeat fire and strengthen stomach. It is very suitable for summer consumption.
