The black grapes near the farmland used to eat boiled porridge 20 years ago. It is rare nowadays.

For many post-80s and post-90s rural children, childhood is both happy and painful, why do you say so? Because at that time, the living conditions were not as good as they are now, and the rural children at that time had no money to buy toys or snacks, so it was more painful.

But at the same time is happy, although there is no money to buy toys to buy snacks, but in the countryside and mountains, there are all kinds of game, such as wild fruits, wild vegetables, especially after the arrival of summer, the mountains are full of wild fruits. Below, the author will share with you a kind of wild fruit on the edge of the countryside, which was often eaten 20 years ago.

In the past, there were far more wild fruits in the countryside than there are now. At that time, many wild fruits often grew in the farmland. Among them, one kind of wild fruit was green when it was not ripe, but it turned black when it was ripe. No matter it was ripe or not, it looked like a "grape" and made people want to eat it. This kind of wild fruit was "Solanum nigrum fruit", but here in my hometown. I prefer to call it "dark", "bubble fruit" or "wild grape".

The author remembers that when I was young, during the summer vacation, I would go to the field with my friends to play, catch shrimp and Loach, and then pick wild fruits to eat, while in Solanum nigrum I like to grow near the farmland, so when I am tired of playing, I will pick 1 or 2 Solanum nigrum to relieve my craving. after eating the solanum nigrum fruit, my partner will open his mouth with big black teeth, which is very interesting, and some friends will pick the solanum fruit and throw it at each other. I beat him black and black.

At that time, although adults were allowed to eat Solanum nigrum fruit, they did not allow many people. I didn't know why before, but I didn't know until I grew up that the solanum nigrum fruit was poisonous, so I couldn't eat more.

In fact, Solanum nigrum fruit is not only edible, its leaves can also be eaten, but now it is no longer the season to eat Solanum nigrum leaves. In March and April, you can pick young leaves of Solanum nigrum as wild vegetables, especially cooking porridge with it is a must. In the author's hometown, Solanum nigrum leaves are also called "Solanum nigrum". Using it to cook porridge has the effect of relieving fatigue and less sleep, and can be used to treat drowsy symptoms.

And Solanum nigrum fruit can be eaten, in fact, it also has medicinal value. According to the Classic of this Sketch, Solanum nigrum fruit has the effects of clearing heat and detoxification, resolving phlegm and relieving cough and diuresis. It can be used to treat sores and carbuncle, skin eczema, adverse urination, senile chronic tracheitis, excessive leucorrhea, prostatitis, dysentery and other symptoms.

Therefore, although Solanum nigrum likes to grow near farmland, in the past, old peasant friends did not hate it, but loved it very much. But now the Solanum nigrum on the edge of the farmland is also rare. I don't know if it's because of pesticides.

Dear friends, have you ever eaten or played with solanum nigrum fruit when you were young? What do you call it there? Welcome to leave a message and exchange!
