A giant weed on the tree looks like a bird's nest. Is it a good wild vegetable or a good kidney product?

There are many wonders in the world, especially in the mountains and forests in the countryside, there are so many strange plants that many people are so busy with their work that they basically have no time to play in the countryside, let alone the mountains in the countryside. therefore, there is no chance to see these strange wild plants in the mountains in the countryside.

Since the arrival of June, because of Grain in Beard, the author has been helping the uncles deal with things in the farmland. In the past two days, I quickly went to the mountains with the old peasant friends in the village and saw a lot of strange plants. Below, the author will introduce to you a kind of weed, which is generally known only by the old farmers in the mountain area.

As there are still a few days to go to the Dragon Boat Festival, many farmers in the village are also busy preparing materials for making zongzi, so it is better to go to the market to find some zongzi leaves in the mountains. In the morning, the author followed several old farmers who went to the mountains to look for zongye. There were many strange weeds in the mountains, one of which is very special. It grows specially on the tree trunk and grows very huge. It is like the "bird's nest" built by birds on the tree, and the name of this weed is indeed as general as its shape, which is called "bird's nest fern".

In fact, when it comes to this kind of bird's nest fern, most people do not know much about it, because the bird's nest fern is often attached to the tree trunks or rocks in the rainforest or seasonal rain forest. it is mainly distributed in the rural tropical rain forests of Taiwan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Yunnan and other places in China, but it is very rare in central regions such as Hubei, Hunan and Sichuan, so many people do not know about it.

Although the bird's nest fern grows on the tree trunk, it is very strange, in fact, the old peasant friends who know it love it very much.

Because the bird's nest fern is not only good-looking, its own value is also very great, it has the value of both medicine and food.

According to the old peasant friends in the village, the tender leaf buds in the center of the bird's nest fern are edible. Put the tender leaf buds in boiling water and blanch them slightly, which can be used for cold salad or stir-frying, which is smooth and refreshing to eat, with a delicate fragrance of bird's nest ferns. The author also specifically consulted the data of the bird's nest fern and found that the tender leaves and buds of the bird's nest fern are not only delicious, but also rich in nutrition, which contains a lot of minerals such as vitamin A, potassium, iron, calcium and dietary fiber. Regular eating also helps to protect the stomach. Therefore, many farmers in mountainous areas also regard the tender leaves and buds of bird's nest ferns as a kind of excellent wild vegetables.

In addition, bird's nest fern is also a commonly used Chinese herbal medicine in rural and mountainous areas. according to Chinese Materia Medica, the whole grass of bird's nest fern can be used as medicine, and its taste is bitter and warm, and it has the functions of strengthening muscles and bones, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis and tonifying the kidney. in folk, it is also often used to treat injury, fracture, blood stasis, headache, hemolysis, impotence, gonorrhea and other symptoms.

It is precisely because the bird's nest fern has edible and medicinal functions, so although it grows on trees, many farmers in mountainous areas still like it very much. When looking for zongye with several old farmer friends, they also picked some tender leaves of bird's nest fern by the way.
